Using your coffee maker

  1. Open the water tank cover and fill the water tank with cold drinking water.
  2. Place the funnel into the funnel holder, then place the filter into the funnel. You can also use a #4, cone-style paper filter.
  3. Add dry, ground coffee to the filter according to personal taste, then close the water tank cover.
  4. 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.
  5. Plug in the coffee maker and turn it on. The light on the switch turns on and the water begins to heat. You can shut off the power at any time by turning off the switch.
  6. After the brewing cycle is complete, remove the carafe and serve the coffee.

Cleaning and maintaining your coffee maker

  1. Clean all detachable parts after each use in hot, sudsy water.
  2. Wipe external surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove stains
  3. Water droplets may buildup 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.
  4. Replace all parts and your coffee maker is ready for use.

Cleaning mineral deposits

To keep your coffee maker operating efficiently, you should periodically
remove the mineral deposits that normally occur in most areas.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Turn on the coffee maker and allow it to “brew” the descaling solution.
  4. After brewing about one cup of the solution, turn off the coffee maker and let it sit for about 15 minutes, the repeat step 3.
  5. 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

  • A clean coffee maker is essential for great coffee. Regularly clean your coffee maker as specified in “Cleaning and maintaining your coffee maker” on page 8.
  • 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.

Troubleshooting

Why is my coffee maker leaking? 
  • Make sure the filter is properly positioned in the funnel holder and that the water tank cover is fully closed. 
  • Avoid overfilling the water tank. 
  • If you have checked all of these items and the coffee maker is still leaking, contact our service center. 
Why does my coffee maker brew slower than it used to? Your coffee maker may require cleaning to remove mineral deposits that build up over time. This is normal. 
Why would my coffee maker overflow? 
  • If the carafe is removed for more than 30 seconds while the coffee maker is brewing it may cause it to overflow. Make sure that the carafe is replaced promptly after removing. 
  • The carafe may not have been properly positioned under the funnel. Be sure the carafe is centered directly under the funnel. 
  • Using too much coffee may cause the coffee maker to overflow. 
  • The filter may have become folded over. Make sure that the filter is properly centered in the funnel. Try wetting the edges to prevent filter collapse. 
  • Using coffee that is too finely ground can sometimes result in overflow. Use only coffee that is ground for automatic drip coffeemakers. 
Why isn’t my coffee maker brewing coffee? 
  • Make sure that the power switch is turned on. 
  • Make sure that the water tank has water in it. 
  • The coffee maker may require cleaning to remove mineral deposits that build up over time. 
Why does my coffee taste bad? The coffee may taste bad due to one of the following reasons: 

  • The age of coffee beans affects the taste. Old coffee may taste stale. Coffee tastes best if you use fresh beans. 
  • Quality of coffee beans and type of water you use affect the coffee taste. Use good beans and fresh, clean water. 
  • The cleanliness of your coffee maker affects the coffee taste. Make sure to clean the coffee maker every 40-80 brews.
