Care and Cleaning
Be sure to unplug this appliance before cleaning. To protect
against electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plug or unit
in water or liquid.
1. Clean all detachable parts after each use in hot soapy
water.
2. Wipe the exterior surface of the unit with a soft, damp cloth
to remove stains, water spots, or fingerprints.
3. Water droplets may build up in the brew chamber from
steam and cause dripping before, during, or after brewing.
To prevent drips, wipe off water droplets with a clean dry
cloth after each use.
4. After washing and drying completely, replace all
components in the coffee maker.
Hints for Great-Tasting Coffee
1. A clean coffee maker is essential for making great-tasting
coffee. Regularly clean the coffee maker as specified in the
"Care and Cleaning" section. Always use fresh, cold water
in the coffee maker.
2. Store unused coffee grounds in a cool, dry place. After
opening a package of coffee powder, reseal it tightly and
store it in a refrigerator to maintain its freshness.
3. For an optimum coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and
finely grind them just before brewing.
4. Do not reuse coffee powder since this will greatly reduce
the coffee' flavor. Reheating coffee is not recommended as
coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after brewing.

Removing Mineral Deposits
To keep your coffee maker operating efficiently, periodically
you should clean away the mineral deposits left by the
water according to the water quality in your area and the
use frequency. Follow the Descale steps on page 7 or 9 to
descale your appliance.
5. 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.
6. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted
coffees are used.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized
service representative.
