CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: always unplug the product from electrical outlet
and allow the warming plate to cool completely before
cleaning it. Never immerse the unit 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 funnel 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 warming plate. Never use
abrasive cleaner to clean it.
5. Replace all parts and keep for next use.
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
decalcifying your coffee maker as follows, using a solution of white vinegar and cold water. A solution of
two tablespoons (30ml) white vinegar in one carafe of cold water works best.
1. Fill the tank with the vinegar solution to the maximum level as indicated on water gauge.
2. Insert glass carafe onto the warming plate.
3. Make ensure paper filter (without coffee powder) and funnel are 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 3-5.
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 “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.
