the indicator will turn off, indicating that your coffee maker is off.
Note
The appliance is designed with a pause-and-serve feature, if you wish, at any time
during the brewing cycle, you can temporarily remove the carafe to pour and serve
a cup of hot coffee. The brewing cycle will not be interrupted and no coffee will drip
from the appliance, simply place the glass carafe back onto the warming plate to
restart the brewing cycle. Do not remove the glass carafe for longer than 30s. Never
place the empty carafe onto the warming plate when it is still warm.
7. Remove the carafe to serve when brewing is complete.
Note
The amount of coffee you get will be less than the water you added as some water is
absorbed by the ground coffee.
WARNING!
When pouring coffee, never tip the carafe more than 45 degrees from the
vertical. Pour the coffee slowly until the carafe is empty, otherwise the coffee in
the carafe will overflow from under the carafe lid and may cause injuries!
8. After brewing, the appliance will automatically switch to warming mode, which
will continue to keep your coffee warm for 40 minutes. After keeping warm for 40
minutes, the appliance will be cut off automatically. For the best flavored coffee,
serve immediately after brewing.
9. Always turn the coffee maker off and unplug the appliance when not in use.

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 "CLEANING" section. Always use fresh, cold
water in the coffee maker.
2. Store unused ground coffee in a cool, dry place. After opening a packet of coffee,
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 ground coffee as this will greatly reduce the flavor. Reheating coffee
is not recommended as coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after brewing.
5. Clean the coffee maker when brewing causes oiliness. Small oil droplets on the
surface of brewed, black coffee are due to the extraction of oil from the ground
coffee.
6. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffees are used.

REMOVING MINERAL DEPOSITS
To keep your coffee maker operating efficiently, you should regularly clean away the
mineral deposits left by the water depending on the water quality in your area and the
frequency of use. We recommend removing mineral deposits as follows:
1. Fill the tank with water and descaler to the max level as indicated on the water
gauge (the proportion of water and descaler is 4:1, please refer to the descaler
instructions. Please use "household descaler"). You may also use citric acid
instead of the descaler (one hundred parts of water and three parts of citric acid).
2. Insert the glass carafe onto the warming plate.
3. Make sure there is no ground coffee and that the funnel is in position.
4. Switch on the appliance and allow it to "brew" the de-scaling solution.
