water regularly according to the water quality in your area and the frequency of use of the appliance, the
detail is as follows:
1. Fill the water tank with water and descaler to the maximum level on the gauge (the scale of water
and descaler is 4:1) Please use “household descaler”. You can use citric acid instead of descaler

HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE
1. A clean coffee maker is essential for making great-tasting coffee. Regularly clean the coffee maker
as specied 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 re-use coffee powder as this will greatly reduce the coffee’ avour. Reheating coffee is not
recommended as coffee is at its peak avour 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.
ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY DISPOSAL
