CARE AND CLEANING
….
CAUTION
: Always unplug the product from electrical outlet when storing and allow the keep
warm plate to cool completely before cleaning it. Never immerse the housing or power cord
into water or any other liquid for cleaning.
1) Clean all detachable parts after each use in hot, sudsy water.
2) Wipe the product’s exterior surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove stains.
3) Water droplets may buildup in the area above the Filter and drip onto the product base
during brewing. To control the dripping, wipe off the area with a clean, dry cloth after each
use of the product.
4) Use a damp cloth to gently wipe the keep warm plate. Never use abrasive cleaner to
clean it.
5) Replace all parts and keep for next use.
REMOVING MINERAL DEPOSITS
1) To keep your coffee maker operating efficiently, you should clean away the mineral
deposits left by the water regularly according to the water quality in your area and
the frequency of use. if the mineral deposit is excessive, the appliance will
represent the following signs:
a. Brewing time gets longer obviously. Generally, brewing a cup of coffee
need 7-9 minutes, but if the mineral deposit is excessive, the rate of
brewing gets slow and time gets longer.
b. The appliance cycles on and off prior to the ending of brewing.
2) De-scaling is required If either case above has occurred. The de-scaling can be
conducted as one of the following method, which depends on your convenience.
a. Use the de-scaler available in the market. Prepare the solution as per the
instructions of de-scaler. Then fill the solution into the water tank and
brew the appliance without coffee powder. Pause for 15 minutes after one
cup of water has flowed out. Then continue brewing until completion.
Repeat this process if necessary.
b. Use the solution of white vinegar and water, the proportion of each by
volume is 1:3. Brew this solution until no yellow liquids flow out.
3) Using the tap water to brew several times until no odor left when finished de-
scaling.
HINTS FOR GREAT-TASTING COFFEE
1. 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.
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 finely grind them just before
brewing.
4. 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.
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.
