Frequently Asked Questions - 10223 KORONA

How do I descale my Korona 10223 coffee maker?

Mix equal parts water and white vinegar, fill the tank, and run a brew cycle without coffee. Then run 2-3 cycles with fresh water to rinse. Repeat every 2-3 months.

Why is my coffee weak?

Possible causes: too little ground coffee, coarse grind, or need for descaling. Use 1-2 tablespoons per cup and adjust grind size.

Can I use paper filters?

Yes, the permanent filter can be replaced with a #4 cone paper filter for clearer coffee.

How do I clean the carafe?

Hand wash the glass carafe with mild detergent and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Operation

Your coffee maker 10223 comes with a permanent filter which has to be inserted into the filter holder before use. The permanent filter has to be cleaned after each time of usage. The usage of a paper filter is therefore not necessary. But, if you should wish to use a paper filter, just insert it (size 1 x 4) into the filter holder.

Brewing Coffee

Using a Paper Filter

1. Place the appliance on an even and heat resistant surface and connect it to a properly installed wall socket.

2. Open the appliance lid (1) and fill the water tank (2) with cold, fresh tap water. The markings on the water tank (2) indicate the required water level to brew the desired number of cups. Do not exceed the Max. filling level (8 cups).

3. Insert a standard paper filter 1 x 4 into the removable filter holder (5). Make sure to fold the edges of the paper filter and push it slightly down.

Note: When using a paper filter remove the permanent filter from the filter holder before inserting the paper filter.

1. For each cup of coffee, use one leveled measuring spoon (10) of grounded coffee. For stronger or milder coffee, adjust the amount of coffee!
2. Close the appliance lid (1).
3. Place the thermo jug (7) with its lid on into the appliance. Make sure that the lid is properly screwed on and that the lever button of the lid is pointing towards the handle.
4. Make sure that the thermo jug (7) is properly placed into the appliance and press the On/Off button (3) to switch on the appliance. The integrated indicator light indicates that the appliance is in operation. An integrated mechanism automatically opens the lid for the brewing through function.

Note: If you wish to have a cup of coffee before the brewing cycle is completed, remove the thermo jug (7) from the appliance. Due to the automatic drip stop, dripping will automatically cease. Put the thermo jug (7) back within 30 seconds, dripping process will automatically resume.

1. After the brewing cycle is completed (no more water is dripping through the filter), the thermo jug (7) can be removed.

5 minutes and the indicator light (3) will go OFF as well.

Using the permanent filter

When using the permanent filter, do not insert a paper filter!

Instead of inserting a paper filter into the filter holder (5) you can insert the permanent filter (6) into the filter holder (5). Add your grounded coffee and follow steps 5 – 8.

After use, remove the grounded coffee and clean the permanent filter (6) as described under Cleaning and Care.

Thermo jug / brewing through lid

The thermo jug (7) accumulates heat energy. Therefore, the jug should preferably be filled to its max. capacity.

Tip: Before starting the brewing process, rinse your thermo jug (7) with hot tap water. To obtain tasteful coffee, brew at least half a jug otherwise the temperature will not be held as efficiently.

The brewing through lid does not close hermetically. Therefore, always hold the thermo jug (7) upright when filled with coffee.

When serving coffee, simply press down and hold the lever button of the lid and the coffee will be pouring out from the spout.

Removing / Fastening the brewing through lid
