Important Safeguards

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

• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
• Check to see if the voltage of the machine matches your main voltage. The machine must be plugged into a socket with safety ground.
• Place the machine on a flat surface in a frost-free room.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• Do not place cords, plugs, or brewers 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 regarding the use of this machine by a person who is responsible for their safety.
• 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 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 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 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 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.

Parts

OPTIONAL Features

Brew-Basket

• The Moccamaster manual-adjust brew-basket has three settings:
• Open — For brewing a full pot of coffee, 6–10 cups. This setting manually allows for normal water flow over coffee grounds.
• ½ Open — 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.
• Closed — Stops 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 selection switch automatically hold at 180° F.

Locking the footplate in place

• Tilt the coffee brewer backward slightly.
• Hook the footplate’s vertical rim into the cutaway 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 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. Power switch should be in the off position.
2. Position the 9-hole outlet arm as shown in the diagram. Attach snuggly 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 the cool water reservoir lid. The reservoir is marked with the number of European cups: 4 oz. each.
4. Place filter in 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: The brew basket will overflow in a closed position. Replace 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 the 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. The 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: Should be turned off when hot-plate use is no longer desired. Optional Auto-off models will automatically shut off in 100 minutes.

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.
