Capresso 278 Hot Beverage Maker User Manual


 
Automatic Reheat Function
The kettle has an automatic reheat function when the Keep Warm mode is active
(blue Keep Warm indicator light is on). If cold/fresh water is added to the kettle in
Keep Warm mode, the kettle will automatically sense the temperature change and
begin to heat the water to the selected temperature and then will continue to
Keep Warm.
Pause and Pour
The kettle features an internal memory function that allows you to lift the kettle
off the base and interrupt heating for up to 1 minute to pour a cup. When the
kettle is returned to the base it will restart the heating cycle where it left off.
Helpful Hints:
Never try to boil water with the lid open.
Do not leave water standing in the kettle. Discard unused water.
If the kettle takes longer to boil or heat than usual, please follow descaling
instructions below.
Dry Boil Shut-Off Protection
If you turn the kettle on without water in the kettle, the indicator lights and heater
will shut off after a few seconds. Allow the kettle to cool down before filling with
water. The thermostat will reset after a few minutes and you can place the kettle
filled with water back on the base to begin heating.
Cleaning
Always unplug cord of power base before cleaning.
Make sure kettle is cold.
Removable scale filter located in the spout can be pulled up and out for
cleaning. Run the filter under hot water and rub with a cleaning cloth or brush.
Clean the exterior surface with a clean, damp, soft cloth.
Never use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, chemical cleaners or scouring
agents to clean the kettle.
Rinse out kettle and wipe dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Attention:
Over time the stainless steel inside of the kettle may change color slightly.
This is caused by the intense heat of the heating element, especially if the
kettle was turned on repeatedly without water. This will not diminish the
performance of the kettle in any way.
If your water has a high calcium content, calcium deposits might dull the
inside. Follow the instruction below for decalcification.
Decalcification
Hard water can leave calcium spots inside the kettle that can slow down boiling
time. Use a commercial descaling agent, like Capresso Cleaning Solution and
follow the instructions that come with the agent.
NOTE: Make sure kettle is cold.
Use of Capresso Cleaning Solution
Dissolve 1 oz (28 g) of Capresso Cleaning Solution with 32 oz (1 L) of water and
pour mixture into kettle. Allow mixture to sit inside the kettle for 20-30 minutes.
Pour water and Cleaning Solution out and rinse the kettle 2-3 times with fresh,
clean water. DO NOT heat the kettle while descaling with Capresso Cleaning
Solution.
