To clean the grinder, first unplug the machine. Remove the bean hopper lid and beans. Use a soft brush to clean the burr grinder. Wipe with a damp cloth. Ensure all parts are dry before reassembling.
Check the water reservoir to ensure it has enough water. Confirm that the carafe is properly placed. Make sure the power cord is plugged in and the machine is turned on.
Press the 'Strength Control' button to cycle through available options: regular, bold, or extra-bold. Select your preferred strength before starting the brew cycle.
Regularly descale the machine using a mixture of water and vinegar. Clean the grinder and replace the charcoal water filter every few months to maintain optimal performance.
Press the 'Program' button and use the hour and minute buttons to set your desired brew time. Ensure the 'AM/PM' setting is correct. Press 'Program' again to confirm.
Bitterness can result from over-extraction. Adjust the grind size to be coarser, reduce the amount of coffee used, or select a lighter brew strength.
To reset, unplug the machine and wait for a few minutes. Plug it back in and turn it on. This can resolve minor electronic glitches.
Yes, you can use pre-ground coffee by turning off the grinder function. Add the desired amount of ground coffee to the filter basket and brew as usual.
Unplug the machine and check for any obstructions in the grinder. Clean it thoroughly and ensure all parts are securely in place before using it again.
Remove the water filter holder from the reservoir. Replace the old filter with a new one after soaking it in cold water for 15 minutes. Reinsert the holder into the reservoir.
