REMOVING MINERAL DEPOSITS
To keep your appliance operating efficiently, periodically you should
clean away the mineral deposits left by the water according to the
water quality in your area and the use frequency. We recommend
decalcifying your appliance as follows, using a solution of white
vinegar and cold water. A solution of two tablespoons (30ml) white
vinegar in one carafe of cold water works best.
1. Fill the tank with the vinegar solution to the maximum level as
indicated on the water gauge.
2. Insert the glass jug onto the warming plate.
3. Make sure the paper filter (not included, without coffee powder)
and funnel are assembled in place.
4.Switch on the appliance and allow it to “brew” descaling solution.
5. After “brew” one-cup solution, switch off the appliance.
6.Leave the solution to stay for 15 minutes and then repeat steps
3-5.
7. Switch on the appliance and run off the solution until the water
tank is completely empty.
8.Rinse by operating the appliance with water at least 3 times.
HINTS FOR GREAT-TASTING COFFEE
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. For an optimum coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and finely
grind them just before brewing.
4.Do not reuse coffee powder since this will greatly reduce the
coffee’ flavor. Reheating coffee is not recommended as coffee is
at its peak flavor immediately after brewing.
5. 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.
6.Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffees are
used.
