CARE AND CLEANING
• Switch off and unplug the coffee maker from the socket before cleaning and when not
in use. Always allow the coffee maker to cool down completely before cleaning.
• Before the first use and after every use, clean each part thoroughly.
• Check all parts before reassembly.
• Never immerse the coffee maker in water or any other liquid.
• To clean the outer parts of the coffee maker, wipe with a clean damp cloth and dry
before storing. Do not immerse in water.
• Wash the carafe, filter basket, permanent filter, water tank lid and measuring spoon in
hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. These parts are also dishwasher safe.
• Always remove the used coffee filter from the appliance straight away after brewing.
• Store the coffee maker with the power cable loosely coiled. Never wrap it tightly
around the base unit. Use the cord storage to tidy excess cord.
• Do not use steel wool, or abrasive cleaners or materials.
• If the coffee maker is not going to be used for a period of time, empty the water tank
completely, by turning it upside down.
DESCALING THE COFFEE MAKER
• Bitter tasting coffee, a ‘sizzling’ noise during brewing, or a prolonged brewing time
compared to normal indicate that the coffee maker may need descaling.
• We recommend descaling the Coffee Maker once a month or when the appliance has
made 25 brews. It may need descaling more frequently in hard water areas.
• Fill the water tank with clean cold water to the ‘
¾ litre/6 cup
’ mark, then add white
wine vinegar to halfway between the ‘
1 litre/8 cup
’ and ‘
1¼" litre/10 cup
’ marks.
• Ensure there is no coffee in the brewer.
• Place the carafe onto the hot plate.
• Press the
on/off
button to start brewing, allow the mixture to boil and start to filter
through the coffee maker. When two thirds of the mixture has filtered through, press
the
on/off
button again and leave the coffee maker off for 15 minutes.
• Press the
on/off
button again, to allow the rest of the solution to filter through.
• Run two or three more carafes of clean cold water (without vinegar) through the coffee
maker, as above, allowing it to cool between cycles.
