Care and maintenance

Before cleaning or storing away, unplug the coffee maker, and leave it to cool down fully.

Grease or residues impair flavour. Check that the coffee maker is clean before use, and clean the filter, filter holder and flasks thoroughly after each use.

Tea and coffee

If you’re intending to use the coffee maker to make both tea and coffee, take extra care when cleaning. If you stick to one or the other, any residues you miss will probably be bearable. If you use the coffee maker for both tea and coffee, the “wrong” residues will ruin the flavour.

The best thing to do, if you’re going to make both tea and coffee regularly, is to buy two coffee makers.

Cleaning

1.Open the lid.

2.Lift out the filter and filter holder.

3.Put a fingertip in the hole in front of the drip tray and lever it out. Take care not to spill.

4.Wash the flasks, their lids, the filter, the filter holder, the drip tray, and its cover in warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly to remove all traces of soap, and dry before reassembling.

5.Wipe the surfaces of the coffee maker with a clean damp cloth.

6.Replace the filter holder and filter.

7.Close the lid.

Don’t wash any part of the coffee maker in a dishwasher.

Don’t put the coffee maker in water or any other liquid.

Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Descaling

Scale build-up will cause the element to overheat, reducing its working life. It may cause the safety cut-out to operate prematurely, switching the coffee maker off before the water boils. It will also lengthen the brewing time.

To minimise scale build-up, don’t leave water standing in it (e.g. overnight), and descale it regularly. Use a proprietary brand of descaler suitable for use in plastic-bodied products. Follow the instructions on the package of descaler. When descaling has finished, empty the flasks and operate the coffee maker twice more with fresh water, but without coffee. Discard the water to ensure that no chemical residues are left in the coffee maker.

In areas of very hard water it may be necessary to descale as often as once a month, or to use filtered water instead of ordinary tap water.

Safety cut-out

If the coffee machine is accidentally switched on when it doesn’t contain sufficient water, a safety cut-out will automatically switch it off. If the safety cut-out operates, unplug the coffee maker and leave it to cool down fully to let it reset.
