■ Always unplug this appliance before
cleaning. Clean the filter basket, carafe,
and lid in a solution of warm water and
mild liquid soap. These parts can also be
placed in the upper level of your
dishwasher away from the heating and
drying element for safe effective cleaning.
■ Never use scouring agents.
■ Never immerse the appliance itself in
water. To clean, simply wipe off with a
soft, damp cloth.
■ Never use a cloth to clean inside of the
water chamber, as this might leave fuzzy
deposits in the chamber. Just rinse with
cold water periodically.
The coffeemaker must be decalcified
regularly. The frequency depends on the
hardness of your water and how often you
use the coffeemaker.
Recognizable indications that descaling is
necessary are:
- increased noise during boiling
- longer preparation time.
If usage is frequent, descaling should be
carried out as follows:
- with soft water once a year
- with medium hard water every quarter
year
- with hard water once a month.
In doubt regarding the water hardness in
your area, you may call your local water
department.
For ecological and health reasons, we
recommend the exclusive use of biological
materials such as citric acid, which can be
obtained from KRUPS Consumer Service
Department or drugstores.
Dissolve 2 tablespoonfuls of citric acid in
1/2 quart water and pour into the water
container. Run this through 2 or 3 times as if
making coffee, but using no ground coffee.
The hot descaling solution must be allowed
to cool down before being poured into the
water container. Finally do the same twice
using clear water.
