Cleaning Your Coffee Maker - DeLonghi DC36TB Série Mode D'emploi

OPERATING YOUR COFFEE MAKER
5. In a few minutes the coffee maker will complete the brewing cycle and
automatically switch over to the warming mode, which will keep the coffee hot
for two hours.
6. Press the ON/OFF / TIMER button to turn the unit OFF when the carafe is empty
or when the coffee maker is not in use. After brewing cycle is complete,
discard the grounds and rinse the permanent filter and filter basket thoroughly
with water. (See "Cleaning Your Coffee Maker" section of this manual for more
details).
HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE
1. A clean coffee maker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regular
cleaning is recommended, as specified in the "Cleaning Your Coffee
Maker" section of this manual.
2. Always use fresh, cold water in your coffee maker.
3. Fine grind coffee promotes fuller extraction and provides rich, full-tasting
coffee. Regular grind will require slightly more coffee grounds per cup to
provide the strength of a finer grind.
4. Store coffee grounds in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened,
keep it tightly sealed in refrigerator to maintain freshness.
5. For optimum coffee, buy whole beans and grind them just before brewing.
6. Do not reuse coffee grounds since this will lessen coffee flavor.
7. Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor
immediately after brewing.
8. Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed black coffee are due to the
extraction of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more
frequently if heavily roasted coffee is used. Over-extraction may also
cause oiliness, indicating a need to clean your coffee maker.

liquid.
