CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Be sure to unplug this appliance before cleaning and let the appliance cool down completely. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug or unit in water or liquid.
- Clean all detachable parts such as inner cover, filter basket, water tank and carafe after each use with the brush with spoon included and in warm soapy water.
- Wipe surface of the coffee maker with a soft, damp cloth to remove stains.
- Water droplets may build up in the area above the filter basket and drip onto the product base during brewing. To control the dripping, wipe off the area with a clean, dry cloth after each use.
- Wipe the warming plate with a soft damp cloth.
- Replace all parts and keep for next use.
Removing Mineral Deposits
To keep your coffee maker operating efficiently, periodically clean the mineral deposits left by the water depending on the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the coffee maker. To clean:
- Fill the water tank to capacity with a mixture of 4:1 water and household descaler. You may also use a mixture of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water.
- Place glass carafe onto the warming plate.
- Make sure filter basket is empty and assembled in place.
- Switch on the appliance and allow it to “brew” the descaling solution.
- When the brewing cycle has completed, switch off the appliance.
- Leave the solution for 15 minutes and repeat step 3-5.
- Switch on the appliance and run off the solution until the water tank is completely empty.
- Rinse by operating the appliance with fresh water for at least 3 times.
HINTS AND TIPS
- A clean coffee maker is essential for making great-tasting coffee. Regularly clean the coffee maker as specified in the “CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE” section. Always use fresh, cold water in the coffee maker.
- Store unused coffee powder in a cool, dry place. After opening a package of coffee powder, reseal it tightly and store it in a refrigerator to maintain its freshness.
- For optimum coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and finely grind them just before brewing.
- Do not reuse coffee powder since this will greatly reduce the coffee’s flavor. Reheating coffee is not recommended as coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after brewing.
- Clean the coffee maker when over-extraction causes oiliness. Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed, black coffee are due to the extraction of oil from the coffee powder.
- Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffees are used.
