REMOVING MINERAL DEPOSITS
To keep your coffee maker operating efficiently, periodically you should 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 the glass carafe onto the warming plate horizontally.
3.
Make ensure funnel is assembled in place.
4.
Switch on the appliance and allow it to “brew” de-scaling solution.
5.
After “brew” one-cup solution, switch off the appliance.
6.
Leave the solution stay for 15 minutes and repeat step 4-6.
7.
Switch on the appliance and run off the solution until the water tank is completely empty.
8.
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 specified 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 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.
