While the PAUSE & SERVE function is a convenient way to pour a cup of coffee
mid-cycle, we recommend you wait until the completion of the brewing cycle
as the strength of the coffee poured mid-cycle may vary from the finished
brew and will affect the coffee's flavour.
8. When the brewing cycle ends and the water level indicates that the water
chamber is empty, there will still be hot liquid in the filter basket. Wait a few
minutes for the remaining liquid to drip through into the carafe. The coffee
maker will then enter warming mode and the red indicator light will remain on
for 40 minutes. Always switch the appliance off when the carafe is empty or
you no longer want to keep coffee hot.
9. Once the warming time is finished and the coffee grounds have cooled, open
the top cover and carefully remove the filter by grasping the handle and lifting
it straight up from the funnel compartment. Discard the used coffee grounds.
Note: If two or more pots of coffee are needed, it is recommended that the
appliance be allowed to cool for 10 minutes between each pot. The filter
should be rinsed after each brewing cycle.
COFFEE-MAKING HINTS AND TIPS
1. Always use fresh, cold water to fill the water chamber.
2. The quantity of ground coffee used can be adapted to taste. Use more or less
coffee for a stronger or weaker flavour.
3. If using regular ground coffee, more grounds are needed per cup to achieve
the same strength of flavour as finer ground coffee.
4. After using packaged ground coffee, tightly reseal and store it in a cool, dry
place.
5. To achieve the best-tasting coffee, use whole coffee beans and finely grind
them in a coffee grinder.
6. Do not reuse ground beans as this will greatly reduce the flavour of the coffee.
7. Reheating the resulting coffee is not recommended as this interferes with the
taste.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool before cleaning.
2. Wash the carafe, carafe lid and removable filter basket holder in hot, soapy
water or the dishwasher (in the top rack). DO NOT place any other parts of the
appliance in the dishwasher.
3. Never use harsh or abrasive cleaning products on any part of the appliance. To
clean, simply wipe with a soft, damp cloth. The warming plate may be wiped
with a clean, damp cloth when necessary. For hard to remove stains, use a
plastic mesh pad or cloth dipped in vinegar.
IMPORTANT: Never immerse the warming plate or main body of the appliance
in water or any other liquid. Do not try to clean the inside of the water
chamber with a cloth as this will leave lint residue that may clog the appliance.
Simply rinse with cold water periodically.
