Frequently Asked Questions - KH 1115 SILVERCREST

How to use the coffee machine for the first time?

Before first use, run two cycles of 8 large cups of clear water (without coffee or filter) to rinse the appliance. Then clean the machine and carafe according to the Cleaning and maintenance chapter.

Why won't my coffee machine turn on?

Check that the machine is plugged into a power outlet and that the switch is pressed. If the red indicator does not light up, wait about 45 seconds after powering on: the machine may automatically turn off if it was already on. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

How to measure coffee and water?

Use one measuring spoon per cup (about 6 g of ground coffee). For water, use the graduated scale on the tank. Do not exceed the amount for 10 large cups (mark Max). Adjust to taste.

Coffee is too strong or too weak, what to do?

The strength of the coffee depends on the amount of water and ground coffee. If the coffee is too strong, add more water or reduce the coffee dose. If it's too weak, do the opposite. Also check the grind: a finer grind gives stronger coffee, a coarser grind lighter coffee.

How to clean the carafe lid?

The lid can be disassembled for deep cleaning: carefully remove the silicone disc, the inlet plate, and the spring. Wash all parts with mild soapy water, rinse, and dry. Reassemble making sure the side with two ridges of the closure plate faces the lid.

How often should the machine be descaled?

Descale regularly depending on water hardness and frequency of use. Use a descaling product suitable for coffee machines. Fill the tank with the product and water for 8 cups, run a cycle, then rinse twice with clear water.

Can I use the insulated carafe in the microwave?

No, the insulated carafe should never be used in the microwave. It is not suitable for this type of heating and could be damaged or cause burns.

How to pour coffee without spilling?

To pour, keep the lid closed and locked, then press the pouring lever located on the lid. Hold it down while pouring. Release it to stop the flow.

What to do if the machine overflows?

Check that the carafe is properly placed and empty before each use. Do not exceed the maximum water amount (Max mark). If overflow persists, immediately stop the machine by unplugging it and contact after-sales service.

Where can I find customer service contact details?

Contact details vary by country: for France, contact DES Ltd at 0870 787 6177 or by email [e-mail]. For other countries, see the manual or website www.kompernass.com. The warranty is 3 years.

Before the First Use

Before the first use, pass a volume equal to 8 large cups of water through the appliance twice. Do not insert a filter bag and do not use any coffee powder.

Clean the appliance (see chapter "Cleaning and care").

Placement

→ Position the coffee maker on a dry and level surface.
Connect the plug 6 with a wall power socket. Ensure that the plug 6 is easily accessible in an emergency.

(i) Note:

Should the coffee maker, after its connection with the power source, be found to be switched on, wait for ca. 45 seconds. It will switch itself off.

Hang the measuring spoon ⑪ from the measuring spoon holder ②. It will then always be at hand.

Using the thermal jug

Opening / Closing the lid

To open the thermal jug 10, turn the lid 9 so far to the side that the arrow on the lid 9 points to the symbol 📋. You can now lift the lid 9 upwards.

⚠️ Risk of personal injury!

Should you want to remove the lid ⑨ directly after the brewing process, ensure that you hold the lid ⑨ so that the hot condensed water, which can collect on the lid ⑨, is not able to run onto your hand. Risk of scalding!

To close the lid ⑨, place it so that the arrow on the lid ⑨ points to the symbol 📋. Then turn it so far back that the arrow on the lid ⑨ points to the symbol 📋. The lid ⑨ is now secured and cannot fall off.

Pouring coffee

You do not have to remove the lid ⑨ from the thermal jug ⑩ to pour coffee.

With the lid ⑨ secured, press on the pouring lever ⑧ and hold it down. You can now pour out the coffee.

When you have finished pouring, release the pouring lever 8.

Preparing coffee

Swing out the filter holder 4 and insert a filter bag (Size 1x4) with the sides folded. Put coffee powder into it (medium to fine ground). For one cup of coffee you will require about one measuring spoon 11 of coffee powder. Subject to taste, the amount of coffee powder can vary.

Fill the water tank ① with the required amount of water. For this, use the scale ③ on the water tank ①.

(i) Note:

- Never fill it with water for more than 10 large cups/ 15 small cups. Pay heed to the Max marking in the water tank. The appliance can overflow. Before use, check to ensure that the thermal jug 10 is empty. - Before every brewing process, rinse the thermal jug 10 with hot mains water. This will ensure that the coffee remains hot for longer.

Place the thermal jug 10 in the coffee machine. Press the switch 7 to start the brewing process. The red indicator lamp glows. The coffee maker switches itself off automatically when the brewing process has ended.

(i) Note:

You cannot stop the brewing process manually. All of the water that is in the water tank ① passes through the coffee maker. Should you wish to stop the brewing process you must disconnect the plug ⑥ from the power socket.

→ You can extract the thermal jug 10 and serve the coffee when the red indicator light has extinguished.

① Tip:

Should you wish to keep the coffee warm in the thermal jug 10 for an extended period, remove the thermal jug 10 from the coffee maker when the brewing process is finished. When the thermal jug 10 is standing in the coffee maker the lid 9, due to the brewing mechanism, is pressed down. As soon as the brewing process is complete, hot air escapes through the lid 9. The coffee cools faster. When the thermal jug 10 is removed from the coffee maker, the lid 9 closes itself automatically. The coffee stays hot for longer.

i Note:

After you pour water in the water tank ① for further brewing processes, allow the coffee machine to cool down for approx. 1 minute.

Cleaning and care

Always remove the plug 6 from the power socket before cleaning the appliance.

⚠️ Risk of electric shock!

Before you clean the coffee maker you MUST remove the plug ⑥ from the power socket.

NEVER submerge the Coffee Maker in water. The appliance could become damaged!

⚠️ Risk of burns!

Always wait until the coffee maker has cooled down before cleaning it.

For cleaning, remove the lid ⑨ from the thermal jug ⑩ (see chapter "Using the thermal jug").

Do not use household detergents or sharp/pointed objects to remove soiling. These could damage the appliance.
Wipe the housing of the coffee maker and the thermal jug 10 with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a soapy solution.
→ After every brewing process remove the filter bag from the filter bag holder ④.
Remove the filter and rinse the filter bag holder and the thermos jug 10 under running water.

If you do not intend to use the coffee maker for an extended period, pack the power cable into the cable shaft ⑤.

Cleaning the lid

To clean the lid ⑨, it must be dismantled:

Carefully pull the silicon disc F from the lower part of the inflow lid A. Hold the inflow lid A firmly, as this will be pressed up by the spring B.
→ You can now remove the inflow lid Ⓐ and the spring Ⓑ.
→ Unscrew the securing disc D from the lid C.
Release the silicon ring E from the securing disc D.
→ Clean all parts in a mild soapy solution and dry them well.
To reassemble the lid ⑨ proceed in the reverse order.

Place the scale removal product in the water tank ①.
→ Fill it with enough water for max. 8 large cups.
→ Press the switch ⑦ to start the descaling process. The red indicator lamp glows.
→ Wait until the solution has completely run through the Coffee Maker.
