Windmere WCM2022C manual Care and Cleaning, Brewing a Second Pot of Coffee

Important: If unit is not allowed to cool before immediate repeated use, water placed in Water Window may become overheated and a spray of steam could be released from opening, creating a risk of burns.

Brewing a Second Pot of Coffee

As mentioned above, it is recommended that the Coffeemaker should be in OFF (O) position for 10 minutes between cycles, in order to allow unit to cool. While unit is in OFF position, rinse Carafe in water and dispose of coffee grounds and paper filters (if used).

Repeat brewing procedure.

Hints for Great Tasting Coffee

•A clean Coffeemaker is essential for making great tasting coffee.

•Regular cleaning, as specified in Care and Cleaning section on page 6 is highly recommended.

•Always use fresh, cold water in your Coffeemaker.

•Finer grinds, such as drip and ADC coffee, promote fuller extraction and provide rich, full-bodied coffee. Regular grind will require slightly more coffee per cup to provide the strength of a finer grind.

•Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep it tightly sealed in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.

•For optimum coffee, buy whole beans and grind them finely just before brewing.

•Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair coffee flavor.

•Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after brewing.

•Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed black coffee are due to the extraction of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffees are used. Overextraction may also cause oiliness, indicating a need to clean your Coffeemaker.

Special cleaning of your Coffeemaker is recommended at least once a month, depending on frequency of use and quality of water used in the unit. If water in your area is especially hard, the following cleaning procedure should be performed every two weeks, since minerals in water can detract from the flavor of the coffee and possibly lengthen brew time.

4.Replace Basket and return Carafe to Warming Plate.

5.Switch Power Select Button to ON (I). Repeat procedure, allowing all the cleaning solution to empty into the Carafe. After dripping has stopped, discard contents of Carafe.
