• DESCALING
To keep your coffee maker operating efficiently, you should periodically descale it, according
to the water hardness in your area and the frequency of use. We recommend descaling the
coffee maker as follows:
o
Fill the water tank with 0,5 litre of fresh water and 0,5 litre of descaling liquid. The
Rotel descaler is recommended.
o
Insert the glass jug with lid closed onto the warming plate.
o
Ensure the funnel is in place.
o
Switch on the appliance and allow it to "brew" the descaling solution.
o
After brewing approx. one cup of coffee, press the "ON/OFF" button and leave the
appliance switched off for 15 minutes.
o
Restart the appliance and run the solution until the water tank is completely empty.
o
Rinse by operating the appliance with fresh water at least 3 times.
• HINTS FOR GREAT-TASTING COFFEE
o
A clean coffee maker is essential for making great-tasting coffee. Regularly clean the
coffee maker as specified in the "CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE" section. Always
use fresh, cold water in the coffee maker.
o
Store unused coffee powder in a cool, dry place. After opening a package of coffee
powder, reseal it tightly and store it in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness.
o
For an optimum coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and finely grind them just be-
fore brewing.
o
Do not reuse coffee powder since this will greatly reduce the coffee flavour. Reheat-
ing coffee is not recommended as coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after
brewing.
o
Clean the coffee maker when over-extraction causes oiliness. Small oil droplets on
the surface of brewed, black coffee are due to the extraction of oil from the coffee
powder.
o
Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffees are used.
