HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR COFFEE MAKER
Wipe the exterior of the coffee maker with a soft, damp cloth or sponge. Remove
stubborn spots with a cloth moistened with mild liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive
scouring pads or powers. Never immerse the coffee maker in water or other liquids.
Unplug the coffee maker, if you are making coffee continiously, it should be enough to
rinse it with some cold water. If the interior of the coffee maker is too dirty, please clean
it with a sponge by adding some detergent and then rinse and wash with clean water.
From time to time, dependent on the nature of your water supply, a lime scale deposit is
naturally formed and can be found mostly adhered to the heating element, thus reducing
the heating capacity. The amount of lime scale deposited (subsequently the need to
clean or rescale) largely depends on the water hardness in your area the frequency with
which the coffee maker is used.
Lime scale is not harmful to your health. But if poured into your beverage, it can give a
powdery taste to your drink. Therefore, the coffee maker should be descaled periodically
as indicated below:
