Frequently Asked Questions - Piccolina 400 Bronze A01 Eu01 113706 CECOTEC

How to descale my Cecotec Piccolina 400 coffee maker?

Use a mixture of water and white vinegar (1/3 vinegar, 2/3 water) or a descaling product. Run a cycle without coffee, then rinse with two cycles of fresh water. Refer to the manual for more details.

What to do if the coffee drips too slowly?

This may be due to a clogged filter. Clean the permanent filter or replace the paper filter. Also check that the water tank is not calcified.

Can I use coffee other than ground coffee?

This coffee maker is designed for ground coffee. Do not use coffee beans or pods.

The machine does not turn on, what to do?

Check the power outlet and cord. Ensure the carafe is properly positioned (the anti-drip safety may block operation). If the problem persists, contact customer service.

How to clean the glass carafe?

Wash it with warm soapy water or in the dishwasher. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive sponge. Avoid abrasive products.

Does the warming plate stay on after brewing?

The plate keeps the coffee warm for about 40 minutes after brewing, then turns off automatically.

What is the capacity of the coffee maker?

The carafe has a capacity of 1.2 liters, about 10 cups of coffee.

Can the permanent filter go in the dishwasher?

Yes, the permanent filter is dishwasher safe. Place it on the top rack of your dishwasher.

Why does water overflow from the filter?

This can happen if you overfill the reservoir or if the ground coffee is too fine. Use a medium grind and do not exceed the maximum capacity.

Where to find spare parts (carafe, filter)?

You can order spare parts from Cecotec customer service or from specialized online retailers.

3. OPERATION

Assembly and disassembly

- To place the funnel over the water container, simply drop it into the water container until it locks into place.

ENGLISH

• The coffee filter is placed concave in the base of the coffee collector and the rubber gasket is placed on top of it until it fits snugly. You will notice that the filter base fits perfectly with the rubber gasket.
• The coffee collector, with the filter and gasket in place, is screwed to the water container at the top of the container, which is fixed and stable.

Operation

Fig. 2

• After cleaning the moka pot, fill the water container with water up to the valve.
• Place the funnel in the base of the moka pot. Fill the funnel with ground espresso.

NOTE: the coffee grind should be medium and should not be pressed once it has been placed and distributed in the funnel. The more coffee you pour in, the more pressure the water will exert on the coffee and the more intense the taste will be. If too much ground coffee is used, the coffee will not be prepared.

• Place the coffee collector on top of the water container and close it tightly.
• Set the heat of the appliance you are using to heat the coffee to medium-high.

WARNING: when using a gas-flame stove, make sure the moka pot's handle is not exposed directly to the flame.

• After a few minutes, the water will start to boil, and the coffee will filter to the top chamber of the moka pot.
• Pour the coffee carefully.
• Once the moka pot has cooled down, unscrew the top chamber, and clean it thoroughly.

WARNING: do not allow the moka pot to come into contact with salty or acidic substances.

NOTE: these coffee machine models are suitable for any type of heating surface.

Attached below is an information table with each Piccolina reference and the number of people and the number of cups that can be prepared:
