Technivorm Moccamaster 53941 KBGV Select 10-Cup Coffee Maker User Guide

Technivorm Moccamaster 53941 KBGV Select 10-Cup Coffee Maker

Directions For Use

The steps below are general setup and use instructions for all Moccamaster coffee brewers. Please refer to the brewer guides on the opposite page for model-specific instructions. Before using your new coffee brewer for the first time, we recommend running two brew cycles of plain water.

1. Ensure the power switch is off.
2. Attach the outlet arm to the silicone gasket at the top of the cool water reservoir by pressing firmly; the fit should feel snug.
3. Fill the cool water reservoir to the desired level with fresh tap, filtered, or bottled water. Replace the cool water reservoir lid.
4. Place a paper filter in the brew-basket. Refer to your brewer guide for the correct filter type.
5. Add ground coffee. Refer to the Water-to-Coffee Ratio Section for the recommended formula.
6. Place the brew-basket on the bracket, and position the outlet arm over the center of the brew-basket. Place the brew-basket lid over the basket (for manual-adjust brew-basket models, adjust the lide to the open position).
7. Ensure the carafe is in position. For Cup-One, ensure the mug is pressed against the studs or nested in the mug tray.
8. Plug in to a grounded outlet. Turn the power switch to the “ON” position.
9. The brew process will begin quickly; water will be brought to a boil, rising through the brewer across the outlet arm and into the brewbasket. Refer to your brewer guide for brew times.

Now enjoy a perfect cup of coffee, brewed to industry standards, with your new Moccamaster!

Recommended Water-to-Coffee Ratio

The SCA-approved industry standard for the perfect cup is 2 tbsp. Of ground coffee to every 6 oz. of water, or 55 grams of ground coffee per liter.

Best Practices for Best Results

Grind Size

For best results, we recommend a medium to medium-coarse grind. We suggest grinding your coffee either at the time of purchase or at home with a Moccamaster high-quality grinder. Note that most pre-ground, bagged coffee tends to be too finely ground for ideal operation.

Filters

Check your brewer guide for the replacement filter size. We recommend using oxygen-whitened filters and advise against using gold-mesh or other reusable filters, as they can cause inconsistent extraction times and are difficult to properly clean.

Water

If it tastes good to drink, it will make good coffee. We recommend fresh tap water, filtered, or bottled water. We do not recommend the use of reverse osmosis filtered water or distilled water, as it can damage the boiling element in the brewer.

What’s In The Cup

For best results, we recommend brewing per the SCA-approved formula, but everyone’s taste profile is unique. If your coffee is too strong, simply add hot water to your finished cup. If it’s too weak, DO NOT add more coffee—instead, try changing your coffee roast profile or growing region.

A Note on Brewing at High Altitudes

Moccamaster’s unique copper element brings water to a boil. At sea level, the boiling temperature is 212°F. At higher elevations, the boiling temperature can be as low as 198°F, resulting in cooler brewing temperatures. Rest assured, the brewer is still making great coffee!

Minimum Brew Volume

We suggest brewing a minimum of 4 cups (16 oz.) in all 8- to 10-cup brewers.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

Replacement parts are available through many retailers, online at www.moccamaster.com, or through Customer Service at 855.662.2200.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Basic Cleaning

Clean the brewer exterior regularly with a moist cloth andd wipe dry. Following each use, hand-wash the carafe and brew-basket with mild dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly. Carafes are not dishwasher safe. Thermal carafe coffee oil stains may be removed either by placing a small amount of electric dishwasher detergent and water in the carafe and allowing it to soak overnight, or by using Urnex® or Durgol® cleaning products (follow manufacturer directions).

Descaling Your Brewer

Descale your brewer with a descaling product every 100 cycles (easily remembered after every box of 100-count filters), or a minimum of every 3 months. We recommend the use of Urnex® or Durgol® descaling products (follow manufacturer directions). Your coffee maker must be descaled regularly to maintain performance and warranty coverage. After descaling, be sure to brew 2 full reservoirs of water through the brewer to clear any remaining descaling product.

WHAT IS DESCALING?

When mineral scale builds up in the boiling element of your Moccamaster, it can slow, and even completely stop, the flow of water and affect the brewing temperature and saturation time. If not descaled regularly, the coffee brewer can be permanently damaged. Descaling products are designed to break down the lime scale and mineral buildup inside your brewer, ensuring consistent brewer functionality and great coffee.

NOTE: We do not recommend the use of vinegar for descaling, as it may not effectively descale your brewer and can be difficult to thoroughly rinse, leaving behind an odor that could affect future brews.

Extended Storage Guidelines and Anti-Frost Protection

If storing the brewer, or if leaving the unit unused for longer than 1 week:

• Turn the brewer off and remove the electrical plug from the outlet.
• Remove the outlet arm.
• Empty any remaining water within the brewer by holding it upside down over the sink.
• Replace the outlet arm before using the brewer again.

Important Safeguards

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

• Unwrap the coffee brewer with care, and remove all packaging materials. Keep packaging (plastic bags and cardboard) out of reach of children.
• Check to see if the voltage of the machine matches your main voltage. The machine must be plugged into a socket with safety grounding.
• Place the machine on a flat surface in a frost-free room.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• Do not place cord, plugs, or brewer in water or other liquids.
• This machine is not fit for use by people (including children) with physical, mental, or sensory disabilities, or a lack of knowledge or experience, unless supervised or instructed on the use of this machine by a person who is held responsible for the aforementioned individual’s safety.
• Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before cleaning the appliance and before putting on or taking off parts.
• Do not operate the brewer with a damaged cord or plug, or if the brewer malfunctions or is damaged in any way. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
• Using an accessory not recommended by the manufacturer may cause injury or fire.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, and do not let it touch a hot surface.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• To disconnect, turn the power control to the “OFF” position, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
• Do not use the appliance for any purpose other than its intended use.
• Do not remove the brew-basket or carafe while brewing.
• Do not pour any liquids other than water or the recommended cleaning product into the water reservoir.
• Always place all lids in the correct position, as shown in descriptive images. Scalding may occur if any of these parts are removed during brewing cycles.
• WARNING: Do not remove the bottom panel of the brewer; doing so will void the warranty. No user-serviceable parts inside. Repair must be done by authorized personnel only.

GLASS CARAFE

• The glass carafe is designed for use with this appliance.
• Do not set a hot carafe on a cold surface.
• Never place a carafe over an open flame, a hot range cooktop, or other heat source.
• Do not use a cracked carafe or a carafe with loose handles.
• Do not clean the carafe with abrasive cleansers, steel wool pads, or similar materials.
• Never place a carafe in an oven or a microwave.
• NOT DISHWASHER SAFE.

THERMAL CARAFE

• Do not use a thermal carafe for storing dairy products or baby food, as these will curdle if kept hot for a longer period of time.
• Do not use for carbonated beverages.
• Do not transport the carafe in a horizontal or upside-down position, as it can lead to leakage. Use a special travel lid for transporting.
• WARNING: Do not drink directly from the thermal carafe. Liquid from the carafe may be very hot.
• Never place a thermal carafe on a hot/ warm cooking ring, gas cooker, or other heat source.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE YOU USE

Before using your new coffee brewer for the first time, or if the machine has not been used for some time, we recommend first rinsing the water receptacle. Fill the coffee brewer with cool water, and operate twice without any coffee.

POWER SUPPLY CORD

The short power supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least as great as the rating of the coffee brewer. The extension cord must be a grounding type 3 cord. The extension cord should be arranged so it doesn’t drape over the counter or tabletop, where it can be pulled over by children or tripped over.

ENVIRONMENTAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Please discard the filter and coffee grounds by disposing of them in an organic waste container or compost heap. If not available, you may dispose of filters and grounds in normal household waste. For environmental concerns, please recycle responsibly.
