Frequently Asked Questions - EC-AK60 Zojirushi

How do I set the timer on my Zojirushi EC-AK60?

Press the Timer button, use the hour and minute buttons to set the desired brew time, then press Timer again to confirm. The indicator light will show the timer is active.

What type of coffee filter should I use?

The EC-AK60 comes with a permanent gold-tone filter. You can also use standard paper cone filters (#2 or #4) if preferred.

How do I clean the coffee maker?

Regular cleaning: Wash the carafe and filter basket with mild soap. For descaling, run a cycle with equal parts water and white vinegar, then two cycles with fresh water.

Why is my coffee not brewing hot enough?

Ensure the water filter is clean and the machine is not set to a lower temperature. Also, descaling may improve heat transfer. The optimal brewing temperature is 195-205°F.

Can I use the coffee maker without the water filter?

Yes, the water filter is optional but recommended to reduce mineral buildup and improve taste. If not using, simply leave the filter holder empty.

How do I replace the charcoal water filter?

Remove the water tank, take out the old filter from its holder, rinse the holder, insert a new filter, and snap it back. Replace every 2-3 months.

What does the 'Pause and Serve' function do?

It allows you to remove the carafe mid-brew to pour a cup without dripping. Replace the carafe within 30 seconds to avoid overflow.

How do I prevent mineral buildup?

Use filtered water and descale regularly. The machine includes a water filter. Descaling every 1-3 months with a descaling solution or vinegar helps.

What should I do if the coffee maker won't turn on?

Check the power cord, outlet, and ensure the carafe is properly placed. If the unit still fails, reset by unplugging for 10 minutes. If persists, contact Zojirushi support.

Is the carafe dishwasher safe?

The glass carafe and lid are top-rack dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is recommended for longevity.
