DESCALING YOUR APPLIANCE
To keep your coffee maker operating efficiently, periodically you should clean away the limescale left by
the water according to the water quality in your area and the frequency of use. We recommend descaling
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.
• Fill the tank with the vinegar solution to the maximum level as indicated on water gauge.
• Insert glass carafe onto the warming plate.
• Ensure that the paper filter (without ground coffee) and funnel are assembled in place.
• Switch on the appliance and allow it to “brew” de-scaling solution.
• After “brewing” one cup of the solution, turn off the appliance.
• Leave the solution for 15 minutes and repeat step 3-5, until the water tank is completely empty.
• Rinse by operating the appliance with water 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 ground coffee in a cool, dry place. After opening a package of ground coffee, 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 ground coffee as this will greatly reduce the coffee’ flavour. Reheating coffee is not
recommended as coffee is at its peak flavour 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 ground coffee.
• Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffees are used.
