• Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
• Do not operate brewer with a damaged cord or plug or if the brewer malfunctions or is damaged in any way. Return 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 or touch a hot surface.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
• To disconnect, turn 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 the lids in the correct position as shown in the descriptive image. Scalding may occur if any of these parts are removed during brewing cycles.
• Unwrap the coffee maker with care and remove all packaging materials. Keep packaging (plastic bags and cardboard) out of reach of children.
• 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. When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

HOUSEHOLD TYPE

Glass Carafe

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

Thermal Carafe

• Do not use the thermal carafe for storing dairy products or baby food, as these will curdle if kept hot for a longer period.
• 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 the special transport lid.
• Do not drink directly from the thermal carafe! Liquid from the carafe may be very hot.
• Never place the thermal carafe onto a hot/warm cooking ring, gas cooker or other heat sources.
• Never place the carafe in an oven or microwave.
• Do not clean the carafe with abrasive cleansers, steel wool pads or similar materials.
• Not Dishwasher safe.

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 cold water and operate once or 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.

Moccamaster

PARTS

OPTIONAL Features

Brew-Basket

• The Moccamaster manual-adjust brew-basket has three settings:
  • For brewing a full pot of coffee, 6–10 cups. This setting manually allows for normal water flow over coffee grounds.
  • For brewing a ½ pot of coffee (2–5 cups) or for use with brewing tea. This setting manually slows the drip to allow for longer saturation time.
  • Stops the flow of coffee if you want a quick cup before the brew cycle is complete (NOT recommended). This setting manually stops the flow to allow for a longer saturation time. This option will allow for overflow if not watched closely! This setting also stops coffee drips at the end of the brew cycle for emptying the brew-basket.

Hot-Plate Temperature Switch

• Glass carafe models: The hot-plate temperature switch is explained with a full circle and a ½ circle, which maintains a holding temperature between 175-185° F. Models without a selection switch automatically hold at 180° F.

Locking the footplate in place

• Tilt the coffee brewer backwards slightly.
• Hook the footplate’s vertical rim into the cut-away opening, then lower the brewer. The footplate is now locked in place.
• Place the thermal carafe on the footplate so it presses the white button on the inner base.

Destratification Tube

• The glass carafe with the destratification tube lid and the thermal carafe “Brew-Thru-Lid” make stirring of the coffee unnecessary before serving, resulting in a warmer, pre-mixed brew.

Brew-Thru-Lid

• Scientifically designed for minimum heat loss, and maintains a perfect temperature while brewing.
• Mixes coffee automatically while brewing.
• Simply brew and pour—do not remove the lid.
• Easy to clean.

Directions For Use

1. The power switch should be in the off position.
2. Position the 9-hole outlet arm as shown in the diagram.
   • Attach snugly to the silicone gasket at the top of the cool water reservoir
3. Fill the cool water reservoir to the desired level with fresh filtered or bottled cool water. Replace cool water reservoir lid.
   • Reservoir is marked with the number of European cups: 4 oz. each.
4. Place the filter in the brew-basket.
   • Place a standard #4 white paper filter into the brew-basket.
5. Add the appropriate amount of coffee.
   • For a full 10 cups, we recommend 7 level scoops (2 Tbsp each).
   • The SCAA-approved industry standard for the perfect cup is 2 tablespoons to every 6 oz. of water.
   • We caution against the use of a gold mesh reusable filter; they tend to retain coffee oils and clog very quickly, resulting in an overflow of the brew-basket and filter.
6. Place the brew-basket on the bracket, and position the outlet arm over the center of the brew-basket.
   • For manual adjust brew-basket models, adjust the slide to the open position.
   • Caution: Brew-basket will overflow in a closed position.
   • Replace the brew-basket lid.
   • Caution: Scalding may occur if any of these parts are removed during the brew cycle.
7. Carafe placement:
   • Place the glass carafe, with lid, on the hot plate.
   • Place thermal carafe, with the “brew-thru-lid” in brew position beneath the brew-basket bracket. (The carafe should be placed to depress the white button). We recommend warming the thermal carafe with hot water before use.
8. Switch the power switch to the “on” position.
   • Thermal carafe model: The orange light will illuminate when the thermal carafe is placed properly against the white button.
   • Glass carafe models with a hot-plate adjustable switch:
     Set the hot-plate switch to the HI position, lower when the pot reaches ½ full, or if you prefer a less warm holding temperature.
9. The brew process will quickly begin; water will be brought to a boil, rising through the brewer across the outlet arm and into the brew-basket. Brew process is complete in 4 – 6 minutes.
10. We recommend disposing of coffee grounds once the brew cycle is complete.
    • For models with adjustable brew baskets: Move the slide to the closed position prior to emptying.
11. The brewer should be switched off after use.
    • Thermal carafe models:
      • The heating element is not receiving power unless the water reservoir is full, engaging the flow-switch, and the white button is depressed; the only power consumption is at the power switch itself, resulting in a very energy-efficient brewer.
      • Glass carafe models:
        • It should be turned off when hot-plate use is no longer desired.
        • Optional Auto-off models will automatically shut off in 100 minutes. Now enjoy a perfect cup of coffee, brewed to industry standards with your new Technivorm Moccamaster!
          Coffee tastes best immediately after brewing!

Cleaning & Maintenance

Basic Cleaning

• Clean the brewer regularly with a moist cloth and wipe dry. After each use, hand wash the carafe and brew-basket with mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly. The carafe is not dishwasher safe. Thermal carafe coffee oil stains may be removed by placing a small amount of dishwasher detergent and water in the carafe and allowing it to soak overnight, or we recommend the use of Cleancaf® by Urnex®.
• Do not submerge the brewer in liquid.

Descaling Your Brewer

• Your coffee maker must be descaled regularly to maintain optimal performance.
• When mineral deposits build up in the heating element of your Technivorm Moccamaster, it can clog the water flow and affect the brew temperature and saturation time. If not descaled regularly, the brewer can stop working.
• Descaling products are designed to break down the lime scale and mineral buildup inside your brewer to ensure consistent brewer functionality and great coffee. We recommend the use of Dezcal™ by Urnex® for descaling your brewer.
• Vinegar may not effectively descale your brewer and can be difficult to thoroughly rinse. Vinegar may also leave behind an odor that could affect future brews.
• Technivorm Moccamaster recommends descaling your brewer every 100 cycles (easily remembered after every box of 100-count filters) or a minimum of every 3 months.
• Cleaning powders are designed to remove coffee oils from the brew-basket, carafe, etc.
• After descaling, run two brew cycles with water.

Anti-Frost Protection and Extended Storage Guidelines

• Turn the brewer off and remove the electrical plug from the outlet.
• Remove the 9-hole outlet arm.
• Empty any remaining water within the brewer by holding it upside down over the sink.
• Replace the 9-hole outlet arm before using the brewer again.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my brewer not heating to 200°F?
The Technivorm Moccamaster Coffeemakers operate on the scientific principle of bringing water to a boil. It is this boiling action that causes the transfer of the water to the brew-basket. If the water is not heated to the boiling point, it will not move to the brew-basket. The brewer is designed to move the proper amount of water (40 oz.) in the correct amount of time (5 minutes). This is the correct water contact time needed for the proper extraction.

What is the total brewing time for my Technivorm?
The complete brewing cycle should take 4 – 6 minutes. However, if the coffee brewer is not descaled regularly, the scale/lime buildup could result in a slower brew time or simply cease functioning—the lights will be on, but the water transfer will not function until descaled with a product such as Dezcal™ by Urnex®.

Why doesn’t the Technivorm have a timer?
A great cup of coffee starts with cool, fresh, filtered or bottled water and freshly ground or pre-ground packaged coffee to achieve the perfect cup. When water is left in a water reservoir overnight, it is depleted of oxygen, which is essential to brewing a perfect cup of coffee.
Note: Technivorm Moccamaster is fast; it only takes 30 seconds to start the brew process, with completion in 4 – 6 minutes.

Do the brewers automatically “shut off” after a set period?
The glass carafe models with the Auto-off option will shut off at 100 minutes. Glass and thermal carafe models without this option will need to be manually shut off after each use.
Note: The heating element is not used or activated except during the brew cycle when the water reservoir float switch
is engaged.

Why does this brewer have so many removable parts?
Parts that come in contact with coffee have been designed to be removable for cleaning and replacement purposes. Clean equipment is critical to brewing good coffee.

How do I order replacement parts?
Contact your local retailer for parts, which may also be ordered online at www.moccamaster.com/parts or by calling Technivorm Moccamaster Customer Service at 1.855.662.2200. See pages 14 –15 for replacement parts.
