Fagor CG-312 Coffee Maker F.A.Q.

How do I descale the Fagor CG-312 Coffee Maker?

To descale your Fagor CG-312, fill the water reservoir with a mixture of half water and half white vinegar. Run the coffee maker as if you were brewing coffee, but without any coffee grounds. Once the cycle is complete, run two more cycles with clean water to rinse.

What should I do if the coffee maker is not turning on?

First, check if the coffee maker is properly plugged into a working outlet. Inspect the power cord for any visible damage. If the unit still does not turn on, try resetting it by unplugging it for a few minutes before plugging it back in. If the issue persists, contact Fagor customer service.

How can I clean the coffee maker's filter basket?

Remove the filter basket from the coffee maker and discard any used coffee grounds. Wash the basket with warm soapy water, or place it in the top rack of the dishwasher. Ensure it is thoroughly dry before reinserting it into the coffee maker.

Why is my coffee tasting weak?

Weak coffee can result from using too little coffee grounds or an incorrect grind size. Ensure you are using the recommended amount of coffee. Additionally, check if the grind size is appropriate; a finer grind typically results in a stronger brew.

What should I do if my coffee is overflowing?

Overflow can occur if the filter basket is overfilled or if the carafe is not positioned correctly. Ensure the filter basket is not filled beyond its capacity and that the carafe is seated properly on the warming plate.

How often should I clean my Fagor CG-312 Coffee Maker?

It is recommended to clean the coffee maker after each use by washing the removable parts. Descale the machine every 1-3 months, depending on the hardness of your water and frequency of use.

Can I use paper filters instead of the permanent filter in the CG-312?

Yes, you can use paper filters instead of the permanent filter. Ensure that the paper filter fits correctly in the basket and does not cause any overflow issues.

Why is the brew cycle taking longer than usual?

A longer brew cycle may indicate a need for descaling. Mineral build-up can slow down the brewing process. Descale your coffee maker to resolve this issue and restore optimal performance.

How can I prevent my coffee maker from leaking?

Ensure that all components are correctly assembled and that the water reservoir is not overfilled. Regularly check the gasket and seals for wear and replace them if necessary to prevent leaks.

What is the best way to store the Fagor CG-312 when not in use?

Ensure the coffee maker is unplugged, and all parts are clean and dry before storage. Store it in a cool, dry place. If possible, keep it in its original packaging to protect it from dust and damage.
