How to descale my Team KM 14 coffee maker?

Use a commercial descaling agent for electric coffee makers. Follow the product instructions. Perform this operation regularly to prevent limescale buildup.

Can I use ground other than coffee?

Use a non-abrasive sponge or damp cloth. Do not use abrasive products that could scratch the surface.

Can I leave the coffee maker on for several hours?

It is not recommended to leave it on for more than two hours, especially with an empty carafe, to avoid overheating.

What to do if the power cord is damaged?

The cord must be replaced by a qualified service center to avoid any danger. Contact customer service.

FIELD OF APPLICATION/OF OPERATION

Use the appliance for domestic purposes only and in the way indicated in these instructions.
This appliance is intended to be used for domestic applications and similar applications such as:

Kitchen corners reserved for personnel in shops, offices and other professional environments.

Farms.

The use by clients of hotels, motels and other environments with a residential character.

Environments of the "bed and breakfast" type.

INITIAL OPERATION

When you use your appliance for the first time, pour fresh water into the water tank and switch on the appliance (without coffee).

Once all the water has passed through, switch the appliance off and let it cool down. When it is cold enough, repeat the process with fresh water. Repeat this process 3 times.

PREPARATION OF COFFEE

• Open the lid of the water tank.
  Pour the desired amount of water into the water tank. Make sure not to overfill by respecting the maximum level indicated on the water tank.
• Swing the filter holder, insert a paper filter or permanent filter (depending on the model) and add the desired quantity of ground coffee. Replace the filter holder, making sure it is placed correctly.
• Never forget to close the lid of the water tank before switching on your coffee maker.
• Switch on the coffee maker. The pilot light of the switch will be illuminated, indicating that your appliance is operating. Thanks to the keep warm function, your coffee is warmed up as long as the appliance is switched on and the jug is standing on the warming plate. Note that the appliance will be switched on as long as you do not switch it off manually. We advise you not to let the appliance switched on for more than 2 hours and make sure that you never let an empty jug on the hotplate.
• When you remove the jug from the appliance, a non-drip valve will automatically operate to stop any drops of coffee dripping onto the hotplate. Replacement of the carafe automatically opens the non-drip valve and allows remaining coffee to filter through into the jug.
  Once the water tank is empty, we advise you to wait until the brewing process is finished and the filter has run empty before removing the jug.

DECALCIFICATION AND CLEANING

• Decalcifying the coffee maker prolongs its life span. For decalcification, only use products especially made for the decalcification of coffee makers. Guarantee claims will not be accepted for appliances that have not been descaled.
• Never use a dishwasher to clean the jug. Just clean it in soapsuds.
  To clean the plastic parts of the appliance, use a humid, non-abrasive cloth.

PRACTICAL HINTS

When you notice that the coffee making process is longer than it should be, it is probably time to decalcify the appliance. Do not wait until the situation gets worse. The decalcifying

frequency depends on the amount of lime in the water and therefore can be different from family to family. Therefore it is important to pay attention to this. A good maintenance of your appliance will prolong its lifespan.
