REMOVING MINERAL DEPOSITS
To keep your coffee maker operating efciently, periodically you should clean away the
mineral deposits left by the water according to the water quality in your area and the use
frequency, we recommend removing mineral deposits as follows:
1. Combine 6 cups of white vinegar and 4 cups of cold water in carafe.
2. Pour into water reservoir.

HINTS FOR GREAT-TASTING COFFEE
1. A clean coffee maker is essential for making great-tasting coffee. Regularly clean the
coffee maker as specied in the “CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE” section. Always use fresh,
cold water in the coffee maker.
2. Store unused coffee powder 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 nely grind them just
before brewing.
4. Do not reuse coffee powder since this will greatly reduce the coffee’ avor. Reheating
coffee is not recommended as coffee is at its peak avor immediately after brewing.
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.
