REMOVING MINERAL DEPOSITS
To keep your coffee maker operating efficiently, periodically you should clean away
the mineral deposits left by the water according to the water quality in your area and
the frequency of use. We recommend removing mineral deposits as follows:
1. Fill the water tank with water and descale solution to the MAX level as indicated
on the water level window (the scale of water and descale solution is 4:1, refer
to the instructions of the descale solution).
2. Place the carafe onto the warming plate.
3. Make sure that the reusable filter (without coffee powder) and funnel are
assembled in place.
4. Start the appliance to start brewing the descale solution.
5. When the coffee maker has brewed one cup, switch off the appliance and
leave the solution to stay for 15 minutes.
6. Start the appliance and run off the rest of the solution until the water tank is
completely empty.
7. Rinse by operating the appliance with only water for at least 3 times.
HINTS FOR GREAT-TASTING COFFEE
–
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 an 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
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.
