Frequently Asked Questions - KA4767 SEVERIN

How do I descale the KA4767 coffee maker?

Mix 2-3 tablespoons of vinegar with the maximum amount of cold water. Pour into the water container, insert a paper filter (no coffee), and run a brewing cycle. Repeat if needed. Then run 2-3 cycles with clean water to rinse. Descaling is recommended every 30-40 cycles.

Why is my coffee not staying hot?

The heat-conserving carafe works best when filled to maximum capacity. Pre-rinse the carafe with hot water before use. Also, ensure the screw-in lid is closed properly; note that it does not close hermetically, so keep the carafe upright.

Can I use ground coffee without a paper filter?

No, a size 4 paper filter is required. Fold down the perforated sides before inserting. Without a filter, grounds will enter the carafe.

What is the maximum water capacity?

The water container has a dual scale: left for regular cups (125 ml) and right for smaller cups. Do not exceed the maximum indicated level to avoid overflowing.

How do I clean the glass carafe?

Do not immerse in water or use a dishwasher. Rinse the inside with water and wipe the outside with a damp cloth. For stains, fill with hot water and add a teaspoon of dishwasher detergent, leave for a few hours, then rinse thoroughly.

Why does the coffee maker make noise during brewing?

Increased noise may indicate limescale buildup. Descale the appliance according to the instructions. Normal brewing is relatively quiet.

Can I brew multiple cycles one after another?

Yes, but switch off the appliance after each cycle and let it cool down for about 5 minutes before starting a new cycle. This prevents overheating.

Is the carafe microwave-safe?

The carafe is not intended for microwave use. It is designed to keep coffee hot after brewing, not for reheating.

What type of ground coffee should I use?

Use medium or finely ground coffee. For each regular cup (125 ml), use about 6 g (1.5-2 teaspoons). Adjust to taste.

Why does the drip-stop not work?

The drip-stop is deactivated when the carafe is correctly placed with the aroma protection lid on. If it doesn't stop dripping when the carafe is removed, check that the filter insert is properly seated and the lid is fitted correctly.

Important safety instructions

• Before the appliance is used, the main body as well as any attachment fitted should be checked thoroughly for any defects. Should the appliance, for instance, have been dropped onto a hard surface, it must not be used any longer: even invisible damage may have adverse effects on the operational safety of the appliance. During operation, the coffee maker must be placed on a level, non-slip surface, impervious to splashes and stains.
• Do not allow the appliance or its power cord to touch hot surfaces or to come into contact with any heat sources.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended while in use. To prevent the danger of hot water or steam being emitted, always switch off the coffee maker and allow sufficient

time for the appliance to cool down before it is opened or any accessories or attachments are removed.

Always remove the plug from the wall socket

• in case of any malfunction,
• after use, and also
• before cleaning the appliance.
• When removing the plug from the wall socket, never pull on the power cord; always grip the plug itself.
• Do not allow the power cord to hang free; the cord must be kept well away from hot parts of the appliance.

This appliance is not intended for use by any person (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

● This appliance is intended for domestic use only and not for commercial applications.

- No responsibility will be accepted if damage results from improper use, or if these instructions are not complied with.

- In order to comply with safety regulations and to avoid hazards, repairs of electrical appliances must be carried out by qualified personnel, including the replacement of the power cord. If repairs are needed, please send the appliance to one of our customer service departments. The addresses can be found in the appendix to this manual.

Before using for the first time

Before making coffee for the first time, let the appliance go through two or three filtration cycles using the indicated maximum amount of cold water, but without using ground coffee. This should also be done if the appliance has not been used for an extended period of time, and after

descaling.

General information

- A measuring scale on the water container facilitates filling the container with the correct amount of clean water. With a dual-scale, the left scale is used for regular-sized cups of approx. 125 ml, while the right scale is used for smaller cups. Make sure that the indicated maximum amount of water is not exceeded.

- Caution: the hot water outlet is integrated in the water container lid. Do not attempt to open the lid while brewing is in progress, as the hot water outlet will be exposed: there is a danger of scalding.

- If several consecutive brewing cycles are required, switch off the coffee maker after each cycle and let the appliance cool down for approx. 5 minutes.

● Important note: When filling the appliance with fresh water shortly after a brewing cycle is completed, there is a danger of scalding from hot water or steam escaping through the water outlet.

Making coffee

- Filling with water:

Open the water container lid and fill the container with the required quantity of water.

- Inserting the paper filter:

Insert a size-4 paper filter into the filter insert, first folding down the perforated sides of the filter.

- Filling with ground coffee:

For each regular-sized cup (125ml), a measure of about 6 g (= 1 1/2 - 2 teaspoons) of medium or finely ground coffee will be required. Close the water container lid afterwards.

- Preparing the glass carafe:

Fit the aroma protection lid onto the carafe, and then place the carafe into the appliance. If correctly inserted, the lid will disable the drip-stop mechanism in the filter insert during the brewing cycle.

- Starting the brewing cycle:

Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet and use the On/Off switch to switch the coffee maker on. The filtration cycle starts and the water passes through the filter.

- Removing the glass carafe:

Wait until all the water has passed through the filter before the carafe is removed from the appliance. To keep the coffee hot for as long as possible, remove the aroma protection lid and use the screw-in lid to close the carafe.

- Switching off the coffee maker:

Always switch off the appliance after use and remove the plug from the wall socket.

Heat-conserving carafe

- For technical reasons the screw-in lid does not close hermetically. Therefore always hold the carafe in an upright position when filled with coffee.

- Keeping the coffee hot: A heat-conserving carafe accumulates heat energy. Therefore the carafe should preferably be filled to its maximum capacity. If it is only partly filled, the temperature will not be held as efficiently. If you rinse out the carafe with hot water before use, the coffee will be kept warm for a longer time.

Descaling

- Depending on the water quality (lime content) in your area as well as the frequency of use, all thermal household appliances using hot water need descaling (i.e. removal of lime deposits) on a regular basis to warrant proper functioning.

● A lengthening of the brewing time and increased noise during brewing indicate that descaling of the coffee maker has become necessary.

- An excessive build-up of lime deposits is very difficult to remove, even when strong descaling agents are used. It may also cause the brewing system to leak. We therefore strongly recommend descaling the appliance after each thirty

to forty brewing cycles. For descaling, a vinegar solution may be used as follows:

• Mix 2-3 tablespoons of vinegar with the indicated maximum amount of cold water.
• Pour the descaling solution into the water container, insert a paper filter into the filter holder without adding any ground coffee as described in section Making coffee, and let the appliance run through one filtration cycle. Repeat the procedure if necessary. During descaling, ensure sufficient ventilation and do not inhale any vinegar vapours.
• To clean the appliance after descaling, let it run through 2-3 filtration cycles using clean water only.
• Do not pour descalers down enamel sinks.

Cleaning and care

● Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has cooled down completely. ● To avoid the risk of electric shock do not immerse the coffee maker in water. The appliance may be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth, using a mild detergent. Wipe dry afterwards. - Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions. - To remove the coffee grounds, open the water container lid and lift out the filter insert. Dispose of the ground coffee (as a natural substance, it may be composted). Rinse out the filter insert. Afterwards, replace the filter insert and close the water container lid. - Do not dismantle the carafe, do not wash in a dishwasher and do not immerse it in water. - Rinse the inside of the carafe with water and wipe the outside with a clean damp cloth after use. - To remove coffee deposits from the inside of the carafe, fill it with hot water and add a teaspoon of dishwasher detergent. Close the screw-in lid and

leave the carafe for some hours. Rinse out thoroughly with water afterwards.
