REMOVING MINERAL DEPOSITS
To keep your coffee maker operating efficiently, you should clean away any mineral deposits
left by the water periodically, depending on the water quality in your area and how often the
appliance is used. We recommend decalcifying your coffee maker as follows: use a solution
of white vinegar and cold water. A solution of two tablespoons (30 ml) white vinegar in one
coffee pot of cold water works best.
1. Fill the tank with the vinegar solution to the maximum level as indicated on the water
gauge.
2. Place the glass coffee pot on the warming plate.
3. Make sure the paper filter (without ground coffee) and funnel are assembled in place.
4. Switch on the appliance and allow it to "brew" the de-scaling solution.
5. After "brewing" one cup of the solution, switch off the appliance.
6. Leave the solution to stand for 15 minutes and repeat step 3–5.
7. Switch on the appliance and run off the solution until the water tank is completely empty.
8. Rinse by operating the appliance with clean water at least 3 times.
HINTS FOR GREAT-TASTING COFFEE
• A clean coffee maker is essential for making great-tasting coffee. Regularly clean the
coffee maker as specified in the "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE" section. Always use
fresh, cold water in the coffee maker.
• Store unused ground coffee in a cool, dry place. After opening a pack of ground coffee,
reseal it tightly and store it in a refrigerator to maintain its freshness.
• For an optimum coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and finely grind them just before
brewing.
• Do not reuse ground coffee since this will greatly reduce the flavour of the coffee.
Reheating coffee is not recommended, as coffee is at its peak flavour immediately after
brewing.
• Clean the coffee maker when over-extraction causes oiliness. Small oil droplets on the
surface of brewed, black coffee are due to the extraction of oil from the ground coffee.
• Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffees are used.
