Handy hints
9
• Coffee strength and flavour is an individual
preference. It is suggested that you experiment with
different brands, flavours and amounts of coffee.
• Always use finely ground coffee for drip filter
coffee makers. If the coffee is too coarse the water
will pass rapidly through the coffee maker resulting
in poor extraction of coffee flavour.
• To maintain coffee freshness, store opened packets of
coffee in an air tight container in a cool dark place.
• Brewed coffee can be kept hot for an indefinite
period of time, however the flavour of the coffee
will deteriorate with time.
Care and cleaning
Cleaning
Before cleaning ensure that the ‘On/Off’ switch
is in the off position. Switch off at the power outlet,
unplug the power cord and allow the coffee maker
to cool.
Open the filter holder by pushing it to the left, until
it swings open, remove and empty the mesh filter
basket. The filter basket and carafe can all be washed
in hot soapy water, then rinsed and dried thoroughly.
The outer housing and filter holder can be cleaned
with a soft, damp cloth (do not use abrasive agents
or cloths which can damage the surfaces).
Removal of mineral deposits
Mineral deposits from hard water can build up
in the water tank and internal tubes. If these
deposits are not removed, the brew time will
be extended.
To remove mineral deposits
1. Fill the water tank to the max mark with
2
/
3
cold tap water and
1
/
3
white vinegar.
2. Ensure the filter holder is firmly positioned
into place.
3. Position the carafe on the hot plate and switch
the coffee maker on. Allow the vinegar mixture
to drip through the machine until the cycle
is complete.
4. Once the cycle is complete, empty the carafe
and refill the water tank with tap water.
5. Switch the coffee maker on and allow the fresh
water to drip through. Once the cycle is complete,
switch the machine off and empty the carafe.
Mineral deposits will have been removed from
the water tank and internal pipes.
6. Wash the carafe in hot soapy water, rinse and
dry thoroughly.
