The Coffee Filter; The Coffee Powder; Drip Stop; Programmed Start Via The Timer - Gastroback Essential S Bedienungsanleitung

Please consider, that the time your coffee is kept hot depends on the
filling level in the carafe. A full carafe keeps the temperature on a high
level much better than an almost empty carafe. This effect can be obser-
ved with any type of thermally insulated vessel.
Another benefit of the stainless steel carafe is the hardiness. This carafe is suited for
usage in areas, where a fragile glass carafe may get damaged easily (e.g. workshop).
IMPORTANT - Before starting a brewing cycle, it is essential to ensure that the
carafe is really empty. Otherwise, large amounts for hot coffee may run out and
cause damage due to hot water, electric shock and fire. This holds especially,
when using the timer and leaving the appliance without supervision for some time.

THE COFFEE FILTER

The appliance is delivered with a durable reusable filter, which makes the usage of
paper filters unnecessary. However, when using the reusable filter, small particles of
the coffee powder will be at the bottom of the carafe. This is unavoidable. Simply
pour the coffee slowly and leave a little amount in the carafe to avoid getting the par-
ticles into your cup. The amount of particles passing the filter depends on the quality
of your grinder and the grind size.
If you wish a complete filtering effect, you need to use paper filters.
Select size 4.
IMPORTANT - With noticeable large amounts of even large particles in the carafe,
a solvable problem may be the reason. In this case, you find helpful instructions
in chapter 'Solving Problems'.

THE COFFEE POWDER

The brand of the coffee beans and the grind size are the crucial parameters for the
taste of your coffee. In any case, prefer freshly ground coffee beans rather than pre-
ground coffee. Additionally, buy coffee in small portions for avoiding that your coffee
gets old and stale. For preserving your well-being, do not use any coffee, which is
probably off: e.g. with an unpleasant odour.
Use a medium grind size. Very finely ground coffee (e.g. for espresso machines) is
not suited for drip coffee makers.
At the maximum, fill the filter up to half height (60 - 65 g, corresponding to 12-13 level
small spoonful). However, always reduce the amount, when using a finer grind size,
because in this case, the water may take some more time to run through.

DRIP STOP

The drip stop is located at the bottom of the filter basket, and opening the drain of the
filter basket only, when the carafe lid is pushing it upwards. Therefore, you may remo-
ve the carafe for pouring a cup of coffee, even while a brewing cycle is still running.
While the brewing cycle is still running, at the latest after 30 seconds
you must replace the carafe. Otherwise, the coffee cannot run out of the
filter basket and large amounts of hot coffee may overflow.
IMPORTANT - Please consider that there may be still water in the filter basket,
after the appliance completed the brewing cycle and the red control dot above
the On/Off button goes out.
Especially when using the reusable filter, expect that some fine coffee particles will be
flushed into the drip stop and stick to the surfaces. The result may be leakage of the
drip stop. Therefore, when removing the carafe during brewing, always ensure that
the drip stop closes the filter basket correctly. However, a few droplets may stick to
the exterior of the filter basket and drip. This is normal and no evidence for leakage.
If in doubt, replace the carafe immediately.
After each brewing cycle, flush the drip stop thoroughly for avoiding leakage (see:
'Care and Cleaning'),

PROGRAMMED START VIA THE TIMER

This appliance is designed for restricted unattended operation via an integrated timer.
Before starting the timer, always ensure to prepare the appliance with
due care for safe operation according to the instructions in this booklet.
Additionally, ensure that the appliance will be accessible always imme-
diately for a person, who is instructed accordingly.
IMPORTANT - For enabling safe operation, the timer will be deactivated auto-
matically in the following cases:
– Any interruption of the power supply.
– Start of a brewing cycle, no matter in which way this is executed. There is no
need to do this manually.
For starting the brewing cycle in time via the timer, you need to set up the internal
clock of the appliance correctly. The internal clock and timer use the 24 hours format:
2 o'clock in the afternoon corresponds to 14:00.
