Note: 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.
Note: oiliness may occur more frequently if
heavily roasted coffees are used.

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 use frequency. We
recommend decalcifying your coffee maker 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 water gauge.
2. Insert glass carafe onto the warming plate.
3. Make ensure filter (without coffee powder) and
funnel are assembled in place.
4. Switch on the appliance and allow it to “brew”
de-scaling solution.
5. After “brew” one-cup solution, switch off the
appliance.
6. Leave the solution stay for 15 minutes and
repeat step 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
Note: a clean coffee maker is essential for
making great-tasting coffee. Regularly clean
the coffee maker as specified in the “CARE AND
CLEANING” section. Always use fresh, cold water in
the coffee maker.
Note: 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.
Note: for an optimum coffee taste, buy whole
coffee beans and finely grind them just before
brewing.
Note: 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.
