Frequently Asked Questions - EC-YS 100 Zojirushi

How do I descale my Zojirushi EC-YS 100 coffee maker?

To descale, fill the water tank with a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar. Run a brew cycle without coffee grounds. After completion, run two cycles with fresh water to rinse. Repeat every 1-3 months depending on water hardness.

What is the recommended coffee-to-water ratio?

For best results, use 1 tablespoon of ground coffee per 6 oz (180 ml) of water. Adjust to taste. The included scoop measures approximately 1 tablespoon.

Can I use a permanent filter?

Yes, the EC-YS 100 is compatible with both paper filters (size #4) and reusable permanent filters. If using a permanent filter, ensure it fits securely in the basket.

How do I set the timer for delayed brewing?

Press the 'Timer' button, then use the '+' and '-' buttons to set the desired brew time. Ensure the clock is set correctly. The timer indicator light will illuminate. The machine will start brewing automatically at the programmed time.

What does the 'Clean' indicator mean?

The 'Clean' indicator lights up when it's time to descale the machine. This typically occurs after 30-60 brew cycles, depending on water hardness. Follow the descaling procedure to turn off the indicator.

Why is my coffee maker not brewing?

Check that the water tank is properly seated and filled, the filter basket is correctly inserted, and the carafe is placed on the warming plate. Ensure the power cord is plugged in and the machine is turned on. If error persists, perform a reset by unplugging for 30 seconds.

Can I adjust the keep warm temperature?

The keep warm function maintains coffee at approximately 175°F (80°C). The duration can be adjusted from 0 to 4 hours using the 'Keep Warm' button settings.

How do I clean the carafe?

Wash the carafe with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The carafe is not dishwasher safe. For stubborn stains, soak with a baking soda solution.

What type of ground coffee should I use?

Use medium grind coffee suitable for drip coffee makers. Avoid extremely fine grinds as they can clog the filter. Pre-ground or freshly ground coffee works well.

Is the Zojirushi EC-YS 100 compatible with a thermal carafe?

No, the EC-YS 100 is designed for a glass carafe with a warming plate. Using a thermal carafe is not recommended as it may not activate the brew pause feature or affect temperature sensors.
