HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE

1.A clean coffee maker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regular cleaning is recommended, as specified in the “Cleaning Your Coffee Maker” section of this manual.

2.Always use fresh, cold water in your coffee maker.

3.Fine grind coffee promotes fuller extraction and provides rich, full-tasting coffee. Regular grind will require slightly more coffee grounds per cup to provide the strength of a finer grind.

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

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

6.Do not reuse coffee grounds since this will lessen coffee flavor.

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

8.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. Over-extraction may also cause oiliness, indicating a need to clean your coffee maker.

CLEANING YOUR COFFEE MAKER

1.CAUTION: Make sure your coffee maker is unplugged before attempting to clean. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plug or unit in water or other liquid.

2.The outside of your coffee maker can be cleaned by wiping the surface with a damp, soft cloth. CAUTION: Never immerse the coffee maker in water or other liquid. The warming plate can be wiped with a clean, damp cloth as neces- sary. Be sure to wait a couple hours after the coffee maker has been turned “off” and unplugged before cleaning the warming plate, to allow time to cool.

3.Clean inside of coffee maker with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use harsh abrasives or scouring pads on carafe.

4.Carafe, carafe lid and removable filter basket may be washed by hand with warm, soapy water or placed in the top rack of the dishwasher. Do not place any other parts of the coffee maker in the dishwasher. Wash all other detachable parts by hand with warm, soapy water and then rinse and dry thoroughly.

5.To clean the permanent filter, empty the grounds and rinse and dry thoroughly.
