Handy hints

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.

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.

DO NOT IMMERSE THE DRIP FILTER COFFEE MAKER BODYIN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
