To clean the grinder, first unplug the coffee maker. Remove the bean hopper lid and beans. Use a brush to clean the grinder chute. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Never immerse the grinder in water.
Ensure the water reservoir is full and properly seated. Also, check that the carafe is placed correctly under the brew basket. If the issue persists, consider descaling the coffee maker.
To prevent beans from getting stuck, use medium roast beans and avoid oily varieties. Regularly clean the grinder to remove any residue that may cause clogging.
Check for power supply issues or tripped circuit breakers. Verify that the water reservoir is full and correctly positioned. If the problem persists, reset the machine by unplugging it for a few minutes.
Descale the coffee maker every 1-3 months, depending on the hardness of your water. Use a vinegar solution or a commercial descaling product, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Yes, you can use pre-ground coffee. Ensure the grind control switch is turned off and the grinder basket is empty. Place the desired amount of ground coffee directly into the filter basket.
Ensure the carafe lid is properly aligned and the brew basket is not overfilled with coffee grounds. Also, check the filter for proper placement. Use the correct grind size to prevent overflow.
Adjust the coffee strength by varying the amount of coffee beans or grounds used. The machine does not have a specific strength setting, so experiment with different quantities to achieve your desired taste.
Use a #4 paper filter or a permanent gold-tone filter. Ensure the filter is properly seated in the basket to prevent grounds from entering the carafe.
To set the timer, press the 'Program' button and use the hour and minute buttons to select the desired start time. Press 'Program' again to confirm. Ensure the 'Auto On' feature is activated.
