Notes on the Cromargan® thermal jug and thermal beaker
The thermal jug and thermal beaker best keep contents warm when filled to the maximum level. The
time the content is kept warm may be reduced significantly if the jug/beaker is only partially filled or
almost empty.
Note: It is best to rinse the thermal jug/beaker with hot water before use. To seal, turn the lid in a
clockwise direction until it sits snugly on the thermal jug/beaker. To pour, press the pour button on the
lid. To open the thermal jug/beaker, turn the lid slightly counter-clockwise. The thermal jug and ther-
mal beaker are made of double-walled Cromargan® and therefore completely shatter-proof. However,
they should be protected against mechanical stresses nevertheless. Rinse out the thermal jug/beaker
regularly. If iron particles from water accumulate on the Cromargan® surface, they can cause pitting
at those points. These deposits must therefore be removed immediately with a stainless steel cleanser.
Cleaning and care
Cleaning
Unplug the mains plug and allow the appliance to cool down.
Do not immerse the appliance in water. Outer surfaces can be cleaned using a damp cloth and a little
washing-up liquid.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
The filter (3), thermal jug (8) and thermal beaker (9) can be cleaned under running water. Alternatively,
you can also clean them in the dishwasher.
Scale indicator
Limescale deposits extend brewing times and lower the quality of your coffee. They also lead to energy
losses and impair the service life of the appliance. The automatic scale indicator determines when
it is time for descaling. Depending on coffee consumption and the set water hardness, you may be
prompted to descale every 4-6 weeks. This is indicated when the descaling symbol (
permanently.
Setting the water hardness
Your appliance has an automatic scale indicator. To prevent too much limescale building up, the appli-
ance is set for very hard water by default. Ask the responsible waterworks or local authorities about
the hardness of your tap water. Change the default setting if the water hardness is less than 21°dH.
You will then not be prompted to descale as often as before. To this end, press and hold the descaling
button (the - button) for about 3 seconds until the display (6) shows the currently set water hardness
(H1, H2, H3 or H4) and the descaling symbol (
Confirm the setting by pressing the timer button (

).
Descaling
Please descale your appliance regularly using a high-quality commercial descaling agent. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions, particularly with regard to the subsequent cleaning with clear water,
which is essential! Suitable descaling agents contain inhibitors that protect appliances against damage
to seals and surfaces, do not cause additional deposits and have no taste. Do not use descaling agents
that are unsuitable for your appliance (such as substances based purely on vinegar or citric acid). Our
warranty does not cover damage caused by using unsuitable descaling agents or failure to follow the
descaling instructions. Please keep descaling agents out of reach of children and make sure you do not
inhale any of the steam given off during descaling.
Starting the descaling programme
To start the descaling programme, press and hold down the descaling button (-) for about 3 seconds
until the display shows the currently set water hardness (H1, H2, H3 or H4) and the descaling symbol.
Press the on/off button within 5 seconds to start the descaling programme. The word "CALC" and the
descaling symbol (
) appear in the display.
