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 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 finely grind them just before brewing.
4. Do not reuse coffee powder since this will greatly reduce
the coffee' flavor. Reheating coffee is not recommended

Removing Mineral Deposits
To keep your coffee maker operating efficiently, 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. Fill the tank with water and descaler to the max level as
indicated on water gauge (the scale of water and descaler
is 4:1, the detail refers to the instruction of descaler. Please
use "household descaler", you may also use the citric acid
instead of the descaler (the one hundred parts of water and
three parts of citric acid).
2. Place the serving cup under the brew basket.
3. Make ensure funnel are assembled in place.
4. Switch on the appliance and allow it to "brew" de-scaling
solution.
5. After "brew" one-cup solution, switch off the appliance.
6. Leave the solution stay for 15 minutes and repeat step
3-5.
7. Switch on the appliance and run off the solution until the
water tank is completely empty.
8. Rinse by operating the appliance with water at least 3
times.
as coffee is at its peak flavor 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.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized
service representative.
