Coffee Brewing Suggestions:

Advice for Great Taste

ENGLISH

For weaker coffee, brew using the suggested ratio of coffee grounds and water, then dilute with hot water. This maximizes flavor and minimizes bitterness.

Brew Water Purity

For better tasting coffee, use the ion- exchange water filter that comes with your Coffee Maker. It reduces contaminants, softens the water, and enhances flavor. Be sure to replace the filter promptly every three months.

Where local water is extremely poor, you may wish to use bottled water. Do not use distilled water or mineral water since they can damage your Coffee Maker.

Coffee Maker Cleanliness

Since the coffee oils that build up on the brew basket and carafe can go stale and impair the flavor of the brewed coffee, it’s important that these two items are cleaned daily in order to make the best- tasting coffee.

Care and Cleaning

Cleaning the Coffee Maker

1.Remove the brew basket and carafe from the Coffee Maker.

2.Remove the lid on the thermal carafe by turning it counter-clockwise, then lifting.

3.Wash the brew basket and gold tone permanent filter in hot, soapy water and rinse with hot water. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.

These parts can also be washed in the upper rack of a dishwasher.

4.The thermal carafe should be hand- washed only. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.

5.Unplug the Coffee Maker and wipe the housing with a warm, soapy cloth. Then wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.

Descaling the Coffee Maker

The Coffee Maker can be descaled using a packaged descaling agent or vinegar. Always mix the descaling solution using cool water.

•When using a descaling agent, follow the directions on the package for the recommended amounts of descaling agent and water to use.

•When using vinegar, fill the carafe with a solution consisting of 1⁄2 vinegar and 1⁄2 water.

Descaling Steps:

1.Before descaling, always remove the water filter (see “Installing the Ion- Exchange Water Filter” on page 7) and make sure the brew basket contains no coffee or coffee filters.

2.Run the Coffee Maker through a complete brewing cycle using a full carafe of the descaling solution.

3.If the cleaning needed indicator lights after the brewing cycle is complete, repeat Step 2 using fresh descaling solution. Keep repeating Step 2 until the cleaning needed indicator no longer lights after brewing.

4.Rinse the Coffee Maker by running

it through two brewing cycles using a full carafe of fresh, cool water

each time.

5.Wash the brew basket in hot, soapy water and rinse with hot water. This part can also be washed in the upper rack of the dishwasher.

6.The thermal carafe should be hand- washed only. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.

7.Reinstall or replace the water filter. Replace the filter every three months under normal usage, or more often with heavy use.
