CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
•
Unplug your appliance before any
routine cleaning or maintenance.
• Do not rinse it under water.
After each use, the pod holder must be
rinsed or washed in the dishwasher.
• To remove the coffee in the drip tray,
remove the grid and soak up the liquid
with a dry sponge.
• Regularly clean the outside of the
appliance as well as the drip tray with a
damp sponge or soft cloth.
• Rinse the tank regularly with plenty of
running water.
• When the tank becomes opaque due
to scale build-up, carry out a descaling
operation.
• Do not use alcohol-based cleaning
products or solvents.
• If the coffee does not flow easily, soak
the clogged pod holder for 4 hours in a
descaling solution at 80°C and then
wash it in the dishwasher.
• Place the pod holder in the percolator
head.
• Close the cover and turn the knob to
the locked position .
• Ensure that the knob is locked in place:
you should feel a click.
Warning
:
• Do not start a cycle if the knob is not in
the locked position .
• Do not force the knob, if it is difficult to
lock and requires excessive effort,
open the head and ensure that the
pod is laid flat inside the pod holder. If
the problem persists, change the pod
.
• Place a 150 ml cup underneath the
coffee tube. A larger cup will mean
that the coffee goes colder quicker.
• The appliance does not require any
preheating.
• Press the button.
• The button lights up and the pump
cycle starts, with an intermittent
humming noise. After a few seconds
the coffee starts to flow.
• To obtain an optimal preparation, the
coffee maker automatically supplies
the optimal quantity of water for the
pod. At the end of the cycle, the
button flashes to indicate a
vaporisation phase, to extract all of the
aroma from the coffee and dry the
pod.
• When the button stops flashing, the
cycle is complete: open the cover and
dispose of the pod.
Note: a stronger coffee can be obtained
by pressing the button at any time. This
starts the aroma extraction and pod
drying phase.
Warning
: take into account that another
volume of coffee will now be poured.
Warning
:
• Do not attempt to open the percolator
head during a cycle, the coffee maker
is pressurised during the phase when
the button flashes.
• You must wait until the button has
stopped flashing before attempting to
open the head.
• You can prepare several cups
successively by changing the pod
each time and following the
instructions explained above.
Tips
:
• Do not leave a used pod in the pod
holder for any length of time after use.
• Rinse the pod holder regularly using
hot water and washing-up liquid.
• If the coffee maker has not been used
for more than 3 days, empty the water
tank and fill it with fresh water.
Important: After each use, the pod
holder must be rinsed or washed in
the dishwasher.
