Before Using Your Coffeemaker - Salton MEVA10DB Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

BEFORE USING YOUR COFFEEMAKER

Caution: Press the off button, unplug from outlet.
Become familiar with parts of the unit, (see figures 1, 2, and 3).
Clean the carafe, lid and removable filter liner. See "CARE AND CLEANING."
Follow procedures for "BREWING," using maximum amount of water (without
coffee). Unplug coffeemaker and discard the water. Wait 10 minutes to allow
heating elements to cool. Repeat the process one more time.
Caution: Do not immerse cord, plug or coffeemaker unit in water or other liquid.
WATER FILTER
This unit features an optional charcoal water filter to provide optimum taste and
removal of most of the chlorine from tap water, along with other metals and
particles often found in tap water. To insert the charcoal filter, lift the lid of the
coffeemaker. Remove the new charcoal filter from the plastic bag and rinse
thoroughly under running water. Place charcoal filter in filter holder, making
sure charcoal filter drops down completely in water filter holder, (see figure 2).
Snap water filter holder handle on top of filter holder. Place charcoal filtration
system down into cutout on left side of water chamber. The water will be
filtered when poured in the water chamber. Filters should be replaced either
after 60 uses or 6 weeks (whichever occurs first) and can be ordered directly
from the Consumer Relations Department by calling toll-free
1-800-947-3744 OR 1-800-947-3745. Do not attempt to clean the filter.
Each charcoal water filter comes with a set of monthly stickers. Write day next
to month; this will allow you to keep track of when you started using the water
filter.
If you use bottled drinking water or your water contains only a small amount of
chlorine, you may not notice a difference in the taste of your coffee when using
the filter.
BREW STRENGTH SELECTOR
To ensure optimum flavor, the brewing strength selector regulates the brewing
process based upon the amount of coffee being prepared. When preparing
four cups or less, press the brew strength button. A cup will appear in the
display. This will slow down the flow of water into the filter basket to provide a
rich coffee flavor by promoting a better saturation of grounds for smaller
quantities. When preparing five or more cups, reset the brew strength button if
needed. The cup will disappear from the window. This will prepare a full pot of
coffee at the normal rate, allowing ample time for the grounds to be saturated,
without importing a bitter taste. The Brew Strength Selector button is
deactivated when the appliance is switched off.
AUTO SAFETY SHUT-OFF
The auto safety shut-off will automatically shut off the coffeemaker after two
hours from start of brew cycle. This feature will prevent the coffeemaker from
being left on for an extended period of time, which can be harmful to the
coffeemaker and the coffee carafe. The auto safety shut-off is designed to
automatically turn off coffeemaker after two hours from start of brew cycle.
