• After it has finished grinding the appliance starts to brew coffee. After a while,
coffee flows into the glass carafe from the coffee outlet. The appliance will
automatically stop operating and switch to ‘keep-warm’ condition after it has
finished brewing. After keeping warm for 30 minutes, the appliance will cut off
automatically and the indicator light of the “Start” button will extinguish.
NOTE: During the brewing process, you can press the “Start” button again if you
want to make the appliance stop working. However, it is better not to avoid
stopping the unit during brewing process.
To continue brewing, you must firstly open the top lid and then close it again to
make the appliance continue operating.
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 glass 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 replace glass carafe onto warming plate to restart the
brewing cycle, but do not remove the carafe for longer than 30s. Never return
the empty glass carafe onto warming plate when it is still warm.
Remove glass carafe to serve when the unit has finished brewing. For an
optimum coffee taste, serve it just after brewing.
NOTE: The volume of coffee brewed will be less than the amount of water first
added as some water will be absorbed during the brewing process.
CAUTION: Be careful when pouring from the Carafe that you do not angle it
beyond a safe angle. We recommend no more than 45 degrees from the vertical
position. Pour the coffee slowly until the glass carafe is empty, otherwise the
coffee may will rush into the lid, and flow out from two edges of lid. This will
result in a mess and could, if the liquid is still hot, cause scalding.
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 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 packet 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 finely grind them
just before brewing.
4. Do not reuse coffee powder since this will greatly reduce the coffee flavour.
Reheating coffee is not recommended as coffee is at its peak flavour
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.
