Cleaning and maintaining your coffee maker
- Clean all detachable parts after each use in hot, sudsy water.
- Wipe external surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove stains.
- Water droplets may build up in the area above the funnel and drip onto the warming base during brewing. Wipe this area off with a clean, dry cloth after each use.
- Replace all parts, and your coffee maker is ready for use.
Cleaning mineral deposits
- Fill the tank with water and household descaler or vinegar (use a 4:1 solution) to the maximum level indicated on the water gauge.
- You can also use citric acid, with a dilution of 100 parts water to three parts citric acid.
- Place the glass carafe in place on the warming plate.
- Make sure that the center of the carafe aligns with the bottom of the funnel.
- Make sure that the funnel is in place and that there is no dry coffee in the filter.
- Turn on the coffee maker and allow it to “brew” the descaling solution.
- After brewing about one cup of the solution, turn off the coffee maker and let it sit for about 15 minutes, then repeat step 3.
- Brew the descaling solution until the water tank is dry. 6 Rinse the coffee maker in water at least three times.
Tips for great-tasting coffee
- Always use fresh, cold water.
- Store unused coffee in a cool, dry place. After opening, reseal the coffee tightly and store it in a refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- For optimum coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and finely grind them just before brewing.
- Do not reuse coffee grounds and do not reheat brewed coffee.
- Clean the coffee maker when over-extraction causes oiliness (small droplets of oil on the surface of brewed, black coffee). This may occur more frequently when you use dark, heavily roasted coffees.
