Hints for Great Tasting Coffee
Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened,
keep it tightly sealed in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
For optimum coffee, buy whole beans and grind them finely just
before brewing.
Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair coffee
flavor.
Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor
immediately after brewing.
Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed, black coffee is due to the
extraction of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more
frequently if heavily roasted coffees are used. Over extraction may
also cause oiliness, indicating a need to clean your coffeemaker.
User Maintenance Instructions
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user
serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Refer it to a
qualified appliance repair technician if servicing is needed.
Care And Cleaning
Always make sure coffeemaker is unplugged and warming plate is
cool before attempting to clean. After daily use, the filter holder,
permanent filter and carafe should be washed in hot, sudsy water.
Wipe exterior with a damp cloth to remove superficial stains. For
stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a non- abrasive
cleanser, such as Bon Ami
® or Arm & Hammer ® . Do not use metal
scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.
Special cleaning of your coffeemaker is recommended at least once a
month, depending on frequency of use and quality of water used in
the unit. If water in your area is especially hard, the following
cleaning procedure should be performed every two weeks, since
minerals in water can detract from the flavor of the coffee and
possibly lengthen brew time.
