11 Clean the water distribution disc with a moist cloth. Be careful when you do this; make sure that the rubber sealing ring does not get stuck under the edge of the water distribution disc. If it does, the coffee machine will start leaking!
Flushing If you have not used the coffee machine for three days, you have to flush it with fresh water before you use it again. Flush the machine in the following way: 1 Fill the water reservoir with cold water up to the MAX indication and put it back into the machine.
2 Put the 1-cup pod holder q or the 2-cup pod holder qq in the machine without pod(s). 3 Close the lid and lock the lever.
Put a bowl (with a capacity of at least 1.6 qt./1.5 litres) under the coffee spout to collect the water.
5 Press on/off button 3 (1) and subsequently press the 1-cup button q and the 2-cup button qq/w briefly at the same time (2). The machine fills itself with water from the water reservoir. While this happens, water comes out of the spout. When the flushing cycle is finished, the machine switches itself off. During the flushing cycle, the machine produces more noise than during a regular brewing cycle Never interrupt the flushing cycle halfway. If you do, the boiler will not fill itself properly. Repeat step 5 if the cycle is interrupted.
