Sandstrom S10GC15E Instruction Manual

To descale the Sandstrom S10GC15E, fill the water reservoir with a mixture of half water and half white vinegar. Run a brewing cycle without coffee grounds. After the cycle completes, run two cycles with clean water to rinse any residual vinegar.
Ensure the coffee maker is plugged in properly. Check the outlet by testing with another device. If it still doesn't turn on, inspect the power cord for damage. If none of these solutions work, consult a professional technician or contact customer support.
Ensure you are using the correct coffee-to-water ratio, typically one to two tablespoons of coffee per six ounces of water. Also, check that the coffee grounds are fresh and the grind size is appropriate for drip coffee makers.
Wash the carafe with warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mixture of baking soda and water to scrub gently. Rinse thoroughly and dry before the next use.
Check that the water reservoir is seated correctly and not overfilled. Inspect the carafe to ensure it is properly aligned with the warming plate. If the issue persists, examine the seals and gaskets for wear and tear.
Press the 'Program' button until the display screen shows the timer setting mode. Use the hour and minute buttons to set the desired brewing time. Once set, press the 'Program' button again to confirm.
It is recommended to descale the coffee maker every 3 months or after every 40 uses to maintain optimal performance and taste.
Replace the coffee maker's filter every 60 uses or every two months, whichever comes first. A noticeable change in the taste of the coffee can also indicate it's time to replace the filter.
Ensure the warming plate is functioning properly and that the coffee maker is not set to a lower temperature setting. If these are in order, pre-warm the carafe with hot water before brewing.
Yes, the Sandstrom S10GC15E is designed for use with ground coffee. Ensure that the coffee is evenly ground for the best flavor extraction.
