Frequently Asked Questions - L12FCB12 Logik

Why doesn't the ON/OFF switch light up?

Check that the coffee maker is plugged into a mains socket and the socket is switched on. If the plug is inserted properly and the switch still does not light up, there may be a power outage or a faulty switch. Contact qualified service personnel if needed.

Why doesn't the coffee brew?

Ensure the coffee maker is plugged in and the mains power is on. Verify the filter holder is properly inserted and there is water in the tank. If these are correct, the unit may need descaling if the brewing time has increased significantly.

Why does the coffee maker only brew water?

This likely means no coffee was added to the filter. Open the filter holder and add the desired amount of ground coffee before brewing.

Why does the coffee taste bad?

Possible causes: incorrect coffee grind (use medium grind for drip coffee makers), unbalanced coffee-to-water ratio, or the machine needs cleaning. Also, ensure you use fresh water and clean the jug regularly.

Why do coffee grounds appear in the brewed coffee?

Check if the filter is properly seated in the filter holder. A collapsed or incorrectly placed filter can allow grounds to pass through. Replace the filter if damaged.

How often should I descale the coffee maker?

Descaling frequency depends on water hardness: every 80 brewing cycles for soft water, every 40 cycles for hard water. Signs include excessive steaming or significantly longer brewing times.

How do I descale the coffee maker?

Pour one liter of undiluted white vinegar into the water tank. Run half the cycle, let it stand for 30 minutes, then complete the cycle. Discard the vinegar, then run two full cycles of fresh water to rinse. Refer to the manual for detailed steps.

Is the jug dishwasher safe?

Yes, the jug and filter holder are dishwasher safe. However, to prevent damage, avoid abrasive cleaners. Hand washing with mild detergent is also safe.

What should I do if the jug is cracked or the handle is loose?

Do not use the coffee maker. Discard the jug immediately and replace it with an original spare part (part number L12FCB12-JUG). A damaged jug can break during use and cause injury.

Where can I purchase spare parts?

Spare parts are available from Partmaster (UK only) at www.partmaster.co.uk or by calling 0844 800 3456. The jug, filter, and funnel are sold separately with specific part numbers listed in the manual.

USER MANUAL L12FCB12 Logik

The jug may break if the following instructions are not followed:

1. Do not set a hot jug on a wet or cold surface.
2. Do not use a cracked jug or a jug with a loose or weakened handle.
3. Do not clean the jug with cleaners, steel wool pads or other abrasive materials.
4. Discard the jug immediately if it has boiled dry.
5. Avoid sharp blows, scratches or rough handling.

To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not remove any service covers. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repairs should be done by qualified personnel only.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Your coffee maker must be cleaned when you notice any excessive steaming or the brewing time increases considerably. This condition is caused by a build-up of lime and mineral deposits from your water. If the pumping action stops before all the water has been pumped out of the coffee maker, then it requires cleaning. The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of the water used. The following table gives suggested cleaning intervals.

	Cleaning FrequencyType of
Soft Water	Every 80 Brewing Cycles
Hard Water	Every 40 Brewing Cycles

Pour one litre of undiluted white household vinegar into your coffee maker's water tank.

1. Place the empty jug on the warming plate and switch on the coffee maker. When half of the vinegar has flowed through, switch off the coffee maker and allow it to stand for 1/2 hour.
2. After 1/2 hour, pour the vinegar inside the jug back into the coffee maker's water tank.
3. Place the empty jug on the warming plate. Switch on the coffee maker again and allow the coffee maker to complete its brewing cycle with all of the vinegar flowing through into the jug.
4. Discard the vinegar.
5. To remove all traces of vinegar, pour a jug full of tap water into the water tank of the coffee maker, then switch on the coffee maker again and allow the water to go through.
6. Discard the water and switch off the coffee maker.

Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the jug. Coffee can discolour these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain inside the jug. To remove these stains, follow these simple steps:

1. Use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and hot water.
2. Let the solution stand in the jug for about 20 minutes and then discard.
3. Wash and rinse the jug thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners.

Jug and filter are dishwasher safe.
