Important: Before cleaning the caffé maker
ensure that the appliance has cooled down.
Always disconnect the caffé maker from the
power outlet before cleaning.
Never immerse the caffé maker switch area,
cord or power base in water, or allow moisture
to come into contact with these parts.
As the coffee making process involves
extracting oils out of coffee grinds, deposits
of these oils build up over time and affect
the taste of the coffee and operation of the
caffé maker. Cleaning to remove these oils is
essential to ensure the caffé maker continues
to produce good tasting coffee and to keep it
operating effectively.
Stainless steel filter
The stainless steel filter should be washed
after each use by rinsing it under warm
water. Firstly remove the used coffee grinds
from the filter by simply turning the filter
upside down and spoon out the used coffee
grinds into bin, see figure 9. Wash at regular
intervals in warm soapy water using a mild
detergent.
Should the holes in the filter become clogged
with coffee granules use a fine bristled brush
and if necessary clean using a pin.
Upper caffé chamber filter
The filter located in the underside of the
upper caffé chamber also needs cleaning
at regular intervals. Should the holes in the
filter become clogged with coffee granules,
clean using warm soapy water and a fine
bristled brush and if necessary clean using a
pin, see figure 10.
Upper caffé chamber rubber seal
This seal is located in the underside of the
upper caffé chamber and creates a seal
against the base of the caffé maker when
making coffee.
Over time this seal looses its elasticity and
will require replacement. An indication
that the seal is deteriorating is when steam
escapes from around the base and the upper
caffé chamber during use.
Upper caffé chamber
The stainless steel upper caffé chamber may
be washed with warm, soapy water. Rinse
with clean water and dry.
The brushed stainless steel exterior
The stainless steel surface may be wiped over
with a damp cloth and polished with a soft
dry cloth.
Note: Do not use chemical, steel wool, or
abrasive cleaners to clean the outside of
the caffé maker, as these will scratch the
stainless steel surface.
