REMOVING MINERAL DEPOSITS
To keep your coffee maker operating ef fi ciently, you should periodically clean away the mineral
deposits left by the water according to the water quality in your area and the use frequency. We
recommend removing mineral deposits as follows:
1. Fill the tank with water and descaler to the max level as indicated on water gauge (the
scale of water and descaler is 4:1, the detail refers to the instruction of descaler. Please use
“household descaler”), you may also use the citric acid instead of the descaler (one hundred
parts of water and three parts of citric acid).
2. Insert glass carafe onto the warming plate.
3. Make sure to follow this procedure without coffee powder and funnel assembled in place.
3. Switch on the appliance and allow it to “brew” de-scaling solution.
4. After “brew” one-cup solution, switch off the appliance.
5. Leave the solution stay for 15 minutes and repeat steps 3-5.
6. Switch on the appliance and pour out the solution until the water tank is completely empty.
7. 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 speci fi ed 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 fi nely grind them just before brewing.
4. Do not reuse coffee powder since this will greatly reduce the coffee’s fl avor. Reheating coffee
is not recommended as coffee is at its peak fl avor 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.
