1 Store coffee in a cool dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep
it tightly sealed in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
2 For optimum coffee, buy whole beans and grind them finely just
before brewing.
3 Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair coffee
flavour.
4 Re-heating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavour
immediately after brewing.
5 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.
CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR COFFEE MAKER
Always make sure the coffee maker is unplugged and the
warming plate is cool before attempting to clean it. After daily use,
the filter holder and jug should be washed in warm soapy water.
Wipe exterior with a damp cloth to remove superficial stains. For
stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive
cleanser.
Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.
Special cleaning of your coffee maker is recommended at least once
a month, depending on frequency of use and quality of water used in
the unit. If the water in your area is especially hard, the following
cleaning procedure should be performed every two weeks, since
minerals in water can detract from the flavour of the coffee and
possibly lengthen the brew time.
1 Fill the jug with one part white vinegar to three parts cold water.
Pour the water and vinegar solution into the water tank.
2 Place a paper filter in the filter holder and swing to closed
position. Place jug on the warming plate. Switch control to on.
During cleaning, more steam will occur than during normal brewing.
3 Keep the coffee maker on until the jug is half full. Switch control
to off. When liquid stops dripping from the filter holder into the jug
allow 15 minutes. When cooled, pour liquid back into the water tank.
4 Replace holder and return jug to hot plate.
5 Switch control to on. Repeat procedure, allowing all the cleaning
solution to empty into the jug. After dripping has stopped, discard
contents of the jug.
6 After allowing the coffee maker to cool for 10 minutes, rinse it out by
filling the jug full of cold water. Ensure a fresh paper filter is placed
into the filter basket before switching on.
7 At the end of the brew cycle, switch the control to off. Discard water
in the jug. Remove used filter and wash jug and filter holder in hot
soapy water. Dry parts.
8 When the coffee maker has cooled, wipe the exterior with a dry
cloth. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above
cleaning should be performed by our authorised service centre.
