32 Don’t be tempted to reheat coffee in the coffee maker. You’ll damage the coffee
maker and the coffee will be undrinkable.
33 Clean the filter holder, filter, and carafe after each use. Residue from a previous brew
will spoil your coffee.
34 If left for much more than an hour, chemical changes in the coffee liquor start to
affect the flavour. It’s best to pour it away and make a fresh pot.

descale regularly – even in soft water areas
Limescale may be white, coloured, even rusty-looking, but it’s normally visible.
Phosphate scale isn’t generally visible, but it’s there, even in soft water areas.
All scale causes overheating, and reduces the life of the coffee maker.
So, even with soft water, descale regularly, to help keep your coffee maker in working
order.
Use a proprietary brand of descaler suitable for use in plastic-bodied products. Follow
the instructions on the package of descaler. When descaling has finished, empty the
carafe and operate the coffee maker twice more with fresh water, but without coffee.
Discard the water to ensure that no chemical residues are left in the coffee maker.
, Products returned under guarantee with faults due to scale will be subject to a
repair charge.
