Frequently Asked Questions - FG273 MOULINEX

How to set the time on the Moulinex FG273 coffee maker?

Plug in the coffee maker, the LCD displays 12:00 blinking. Use the H button to set the hour (AM/PM) and the MIN button for minutes. Confirm by pressing the ⏻ button or wait for the blinking to stop. To change the time later, press and hold (3 s) ⏻ until the time blinks.

How to program the coffee maker to start automatically?

Press the PROG button once. Set the desired hour and minutes using the H and MIN buttons. Press PROG again to confirm. The green indicator lights up. At the programmed time, the coffee maker starts automatically. The programming deactivates after the cycle, but the time remains stored. Reactivate it each day by pressing PROG.

What to do if the coffee maker does not turn on?

First check that the power outlet works and the power cord is not damaged. Make sure the carafe is correctly placed on the warming plate. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service center.

How to descale the Moulinex FG273 coffee maker?

Descale every month or every 40 cycles. Pour a descaling solution (packet diluted in 2 cups of water or 2 cups of white vinegar) into the reservoir. Run a cycle without coffee. Stop after one cup has flowed, let it sit for 1 hour, then finish the cycle. Rinse by running 2-3 cycles of clean water.

Why does my coffee maker turn off after a while?

This is normal: the coffee maker automatically turns off about 30 minutes after the end of the coffee cycle. This keeps the coffee warm while saving energy. You can manually turn it back on with the ⏻ button.

Can I use the coffee maker without a paper filter?

No, the coffee maker is designed to use a paper filter #4. Using it without a filter could damage the appliance and compromise coffee quality.

How to clean the coffee maker?

Unplug and let it cool down. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Never immerse the appliance. The filter holder and carafe are hand-washable. No parts are dishwasher safe.

What does the blinking green indicator mean?

The green indicator shows that programming is active. If it blinks, it may mean the programmed time hasn't been confirmed or there is an error. Reset the programming by pressing and holding (3 s) PROG, then reprogram.

Can I use the carafe in the microwave or on a stove?

No, the glass carafe is not suitable for microwave, open flame, or electric stovetop. Use it only on the coffee maker's warming plate.

What to do if the display shows '12:00' and blinks?

This means the time has not been set or was lost due to a power outage. Set the time as indicated in the manual (using the H and MIN buttons). If you don't set it, the display will blink and programming will not work.
