Cleaning And Maintenance - tomado TCM1501S Instrucciones De Uso

Perhaps you do not want to make coffee immediately, but at a later time. For example, when it is 9 am, and you want the coffee
machine to start automatically at 1 pm; first perform steps 1 to 4 of chapter "MAKING COFFEE", and then set the delayed start
time as follows:
1. Set the current time to 9:00 hours by pressing the "HOUR" and "MIN" buttons. If you have already done this, you can skip
this step.
Caution: time is indicated in 24 hour format.
2. Press the PROG button once, the green PROG indicator led starts to flash and "12:00" flashes in the LCD display.
Set the delayed start time to 13:00 hours by pressing the "HOUR" and "MIN" buttons.
3. Press the PROG button once more, the PROG indicator led now lights up continuously. After some time, the LCD display
shows the current time.
Caution: You can stop the delayed start function by pressing the PROG button. If you want to change the time for the
delayed start, stop the delayed start and follow steps 2 and 3 once more.
4. At the set time for the delayed start, the red ON/OFF indicator led lights up and the appliance starts to make coffee.
When coffee making is finished, the hot plate keeps the coffee in the glass jug warm. The appliance switches off automatically
and the red indicator led goes out as well, if you have not already switched off the coffee machine yourself after making
coffee. Do not wait too long before serving the coffee, the coffee tastes best immediately after it has been made.
Caution: During the coffee making process, the "PROG" ,"HOUR" and "MIN" buttons do not work.
Regularly clean the coffee machine. This is not only beneficial for the life span of the appliance, it also ensures optimum use of
the appliance and, of course, good tasting coffee.
Cleaning should involve the following:
• Prior to cleaning, always check that the coffee machine is switched off and that the plug has been removed from the socket.
• Regularly clean the outside of the appliance with a slightly damp cloth and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth. Never use
abrasives. Never rinse the appliance under the tap or submerge it in water.
• Clean the glass jug with cover and the filter holder with hot water and a mild washing-up liquid. Thoroughly rinse the glass
jug with hot water. Thoroughly dry the glass jug before placing it back on the hot plate. The glass jug and filter holder may
not be cleaned in a dishwasher.
Regularly de-scale your coffee machine. The de-scaling intervals depend on the hardness of the mains water and the frequency
at which the coffee machine is being used. We recommend de-scaling the coffee machine after using one box of coffee filters
(making coffee approximately 40 x). Due to scaling, the heating element can become obstructed. This causes overheating,
as a result of which the coffee machine is switched off automatically as a safety precaution and will no longer function.
The coffee machine will have to be repaired. You can de-scale the coffee machine with a special de-scaling agent for coffee
machines or with kitchen grade vinegar. If you use a special de-scaling agent for coffee machines, you must observe the
instructions on the packaging of this agent.
When using kitchen grade vinegar, proceed as follows:
1. Switch off the appliance by pressing the on/off button. Remove the plug from the socket and remove all separate
components (glass jug and filter holder).
2. To remove any remaining water, hold the appliance upside down above the sink.
3. Fill half the water reservoir with cold kitchen grade vinegar and fill up with clean, cold water. Place the glass jug on the hot
plate and place the filter holder back on the appliance with an empty filter bag.
4. Switch on the appliance.
5. Allow approximately half of the vinegar/water mixture to flow through and switch off the appliance. Wait approximately
15 minutes and then switch the appliance back on. As a result the scale will be softened and removed.
6. After de-scaling, allow a full reservoir of cold water to flow through the appliance at least 3 times, to remove all de-scaling
liquid and vinegar residues and thus prevent a sour taste in the coffee.
