DESCALING
After regular use, hard water can cause mineral
build up in internal components, reducing the
brewing flow, brewing temperature, power of the
machine, and taste of the coffee.
We recommend to descale regularly. When LCD
shows “DESCALE” (flashing), descaling cycle
is needed.
NOTE
It takes approximately 15 minutes to complete
descaling cycle.
1. Empty the tank. Prepare a descale solution in
accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
Pour this solution into the empty water tank.
2. Place the basket and the carafe into position
under the drip stop outlet (Ensure the carafe
is empty and the lid is securely locked).
3. Press SELECT button for 3 seconds to start
descaling cycle. LCD with show “dSL” for
1 second and then tell remaining time of
descaling cycle.
4. When the descaling process is finished, the
LCD screen will go back to the main menu.
To completely remove residual water in the
tank, invert the machine and brew with fresh
water twice. Discard the water from the carafe
and rinse thoroughly.
NOTE
We recommend to brew through again
after descaling to brew out the residue
descale solution.
NOTE
You cannot stop the descaling process mid cycle.
Force stop by unplugging the cord from the
power outlet.
FACTORY RESET
This is to reset the machine to the factory settings,
including water hardness setting. Hold the
START button, the SELECT button, and AUTO
START button altogether for 3 seconds. When
LCD shows “rES” (flashing), press SELECT
button to start. Then next prompt asks “YES”
or “no” to confirm. Rotate and press SELECT
dial/button.
Always turn the coffee machine off and remove
the plug from the power outlet before cleaning.
CLEANING THE OUTER HOUSING
The outer housing and LCD screen can be
cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Apply cleaner
to the cloth and not the LCD surface. Polish
with a soft, dry cloth. Cleaning and drying with
dry paper towels or abrasive cloths and cleaners
may scratch the surface.
CLEANING THE COFFEE BASKET AND
MESH BASKET FILTER
Remove the coffee basket. Discard any ground
coffee and filter paper. The coffee basket and
mesh basket filter can be rinsed under running
water. Ensure the fine holes of the mesh basket
filter are clear. For a deeper clean, wash the
coffee basket and mesh basket filter in warm,
soapy water with a soft bristled brush.
CAUTION
The coffee basket, mesh basket or paper filter
may still be very hot after brewing. Use caution
and allow to cool before removing.
CLEANING THE CARAFE
After each use, empty the carafe. Do not let
brewed coffee stand overnight as this can cause
the carafe to stain. Rinse the carafe and carafe
lid under warm running water. For a deeper
clean, we recommend regularly washing the
carafe in warm, soapy water using a soft bristled
brush. Do not use abrasive cleansers, pads or
cloths which can scratch the surface. Rinse and
dry thoroughly.
CLEANING THE SHOWERHEAD
Simply wipe down the showerhead area
periodically. However, if a more thorough clean
is required, the Showerhead can be removed by
unlocking the Showerhead Ring. Rotate clockwise
then remove the Showerhead for cleaning. Once
complete, reinstall the Showerhead.
