Operating Instructions

Brewing Coffee

5. Aroma Function: To enhance coffee aroma, press the aroma function button (often indicated by a coffee bean icon) before starting the brew. This function optimizes water distribution over the coffee grounds using a spiral nozzle.

Setting the Programmable Timer

The programmable timer allows you to set a specific time for the coffee maker to start brewing automatically.

1. Prepare the coffee maker with water and coffee grounds as described above.
2. Press the "Prog" (Program) button. The display will show "Prog" and allow you to set the desired start time using the "Hr" and "Min" buttons.
3. Once the desired time is set, press the "Prog" button again to confirm. The display will revert to the current time, and the "Prog" indicator will remain lit, signifying the timer is active.
4. The coffee maker will automatically start brewing at the programmed time.

Keep Warm Function

After brewing, the coffee maker automatically enters a keep-warm phase, maintaining the coffee's temperature for 30 minutes. After this period, the appliance will automatically shut off for safety and energy saving.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your coffee maker.

Daily Cleaning

1. Unplug the coffee maker and allow it to cool completely.
2. Remove the filter holder and glass carafe. Wash them in warm, soapy water or place them in the dishwasher if they are dishwasher-safe (refer to product specifications for confirmation).
3. Wipe the exterior of the coffee maker, including the heating plate, with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
4. Do not immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid.

Descaling

Mineral deposits from water can build up over time, affecting performance. Descale your coffee maker regularly (e.g., every 2-3 months, or more often in hard water areas).

1. Fill the water tank with a descaling solution (e.g., white vinegar and water in a 1:2 ratio, or a commercial descaling agent according to its instructions).
2. Place an empty paper filter in the filter holder and the empty carafe on the heating plate.
3. Start a brewing cycle without coffee. Allow half of the solution to brew through, then turn off the coffee maker and let it stand for 15-20 minutes.
4. Turn the coffee maker back on to complete the brewing cycle.
5. After descaling, run at least two full cycles with fresh, clean water to rinse out any remaining descaling solution.
