BREWING COFFEE

1. Open the lter tray.

2. Add the desired amount of coﬀee into the ﬁlter (follow the measurement tables

shown above). Shake lightly to level the coﬀee. Close the ﬁlter tray.

3. Fill the jug with tap water to the desired capacity.

4. Pour the water from the jug into the water reservoir. Place the empty jug onto the

warming plate.

5. Switch your coﬀee maker on with the ON/OFF switch.

6. When the coﬀee stops dripping, the brewing cycle is complete (this usually takes

about 10 minutes for a 12 cup load). Your coee is ready to drink, and will be kept

warm on the heated warming plate.

7. Carefully open the lter tray and discard the used ground coee from the lter.

Rinse the lter tray and lter after use and then ret them.

8. To make another pot of coee, repeat the above Steps 1 to 7.

• Switch oﬀ your coﬀee maker when the jug is empty or when you are not

using it. Unplug the mains cable when not using the coﬀee maker for a

long period of time.

• To avoid the risk of personal injury or damage to property as a result of

overow, be sure that the jug is squarely centred under the lter tray during

the brewing cycle.

• The brewed coﬀee in the jug and the grounds in the ﬁlter tray are very hot.

Handle them with care to avoid scalding.

• If the coﬀee fails to drain into the jug during the brewing cycle causing

overﬂows, do not open or touch the ﬁlter tray. Unplug the coﬀee maker,

and wait for it to cool down before handling.

Type of Water Cleaning Frequency

Soft Water Every 80 Brewing Cycles

Hard Water Every 40 Brewing Cycles

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Your coee maker must be cleaned when you notice any excessive steaming or the

brewing time increases considerably. This condition is caused by a build-up of lime

and mineral deposits from your water. If the pumping action stops before all the

water has been pumped out of the coee maker, then it requires cleaning. The

frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of the water used. The following

table gives suggested cleaning intervals.

Pour one litre of undiluted white household vinegar into your coee maker ‘s water

reservoir.

1. Place the empty jug on the warming plate and switch on the coee maker. When

half of the vinegar has owed through, switch o the coee maker and allow it

stands for 1/2 hour.

2. After 1/2 hour, pour the vinegar inside the jug back into the coee maker water

reservoir.

3. Place the empty jug on the warming plate. Switch on the coﬀee maker again and

allow the coee maker to complete its brewing cycle with all of the vinegar owing

through into the jug.

4. Discard the vinegar.

5. To remove all traces of vinegar, pour a jug full of tap water into the water reservoir

of the coee maker, then switch on the coee maker again and allow it to cycle

through.

6. Discard the water and switch o the coee maker.

JUG CLEANING

Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the jug. Coee can discolour

these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain inside the jug. To remove these

stains, follow these simple steps:

1. Use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and hot water.

2. Let solution stand in jug for about 20 minutes and then discard.

3. Wash and rinse the jug thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive

cleaners.

NOTE: Jug and ﬁlter are dishwasher safe.

HINTS AND TIPS

Question

Why doesn’t the ON/OFF

switch light up?

Why doesn’t the coee

brew?

Why does the coee

maker only brew water?

Why does the coee

taste badly?

Why do grounds appear

in the coee?

Answer

Check if you have plugged your coee maker into the

mains socket.

Check if you have plugged the unit into the mains

socket; or the lter tray is not properly inserted, or

there is a power outage, or the water reservoir is empty.

There is no coee in the lter, check that you have

added the desired amount of coee.

Maybe you did not use the coﬀee grind recommended

for automatic drip coee makers, or the ground

coee-to-water ratio was unbalanced, or the coee

maker needs to be cleaned.

Maybe the ﬁlter is not properly seated in the ﬁlter tray

or the lter has collapsed.
