Basic Cleaning
• Before cleaning, remove plug from the socket!
• Clean the brewer regularly on the outside with a moist cloth and wipe
dry. After each use, hand wash the brew-basket with mild detergent.
• Use a small brush to clean the tiny opening in the bottom of the brew-
basket.
• Make sure coffee grounds aren’t left in the brew-basket, as they might
clog the tiny hole in the brew-basket.
• Note: Use the provided small brush to clean the tiny hole in the bot-
tom of the
brew-basket.
• Do not submerge brewer in any liquid
• Cleaning the brewer (inside).
• The brewer needs to be cleaned regularly.
• If used daily it needs to be cleaned every two weeks.
• We recommend Cleancaf® by Urnex®.
• Follow the instructions on the Cleancaf® bag / box.
Descaling Your Brewer
• Your coffee brewer must be descaled regularly to maintain optimal
performance.
• When mineral deposits build up in the heating element of your Tech-
nivorm Moccamaster, it can clog the water flow and affect the brew
temperature and saturation time. If not descaled regularly, the brewer
can stop working.
• Technivorm Moccamaster recommends descaling your brewer every
80 cycles (easily remembered after every box of 80 count filters) or a
minimum of every 3 months.
• We recommend the use of Dezcal™ by Urnex®, follow the instructions
on the Dezcal™ package.
Anti-Frost Protection and Extended Storage Guidelines.
• Turn the brewer off and remove the electrical plug from outlet.
• Remove outlet-arm, pull it carefully out of the silicon gasket.
• Empty any remaining water within brewer by holding it upside down
over the sink.
• Replace the outlet-arm before using the brewer again,
• insert smoothly in the silicon gasket at top of the cold water reservoir.

ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is my brewer not heating to 200°F?
The Technivorm Moccamaster coffeemakers operate on the scientific
principle of bringing water to a boil. It is this boiling action that causes
the transfer of water to the brew-basket. The brewer is designed to
move the proper amount of water (10 oz.) in the correct amount of
time (approx. 4 minutes). This is the correct water contact time needed
for the proper extraction.
What is the total brewing time for my Technivorm?
The complete brewing cycle should take about 4 minutes. However,
if the coffee brewer is not descaled regularly, the scale/lime buildup
could result in a slower brew time or simply cease functioning – the
light will be on, but the water transfer will not function until descaled
with a product like Dezcal™ by Urnex®.
Why doesn’t the Technivorm have a timer?
A great cup of coffee starts with cool, fresh, filtered or bottled water
and freshly ground or pre-ground packaged coffee to achieve the
perfect cup. When water is left in the water reservoir overnight, it is de-
pleted of oxygen, which is essential to brewing a perfect cup of coffee.
Note:
Technivorm Moccamaster is fast; it only takes about 40 seconds
to start the brew process, with completion in approx. 4 minutes.
Does the brewer automatically “shut off” after a set period?
Yes, the brewer turns off automatically after the water is transferred.
Note:
Please allow time for the coffee to flow from the brew-basket
into the cup before removal.
Why does this brewer have so many removable parts?
Parts that come in contact with coffee have been designed to be
removable for cleaning and replacement purposes. Clean equipment is
critical to brewing good coffee.
