Frequently Asked Questions - KA 3689 CLATRONIC

How to descale the coffee machine?

Use a commercial citric acid-based descaler. Follow the dosage indicated on the packaging. Then, boil fresh water 3 or 4 times to rinse off residues. Do not consume this water.

Why is the coffee not flowing?

Check that the coffee pot is properly placed on the hot plate with the lid closed. Otherwise, the anti-drip device remains closed. If the filter is clogged, turn off the appliance, place the coffee pot to empty the filter, then clean.

What type of paper filter to use?

Use a size 1 x 4 (size 4) paper coffee filter.

The machine turns off by itself, is that normal?

Yes, it's normal. According to the Ecodesign directive, the appliance automatically shuts off at most 40 minutes after the coffee preparation ends.

How to clean the exterior of the machine?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool down. Clean the exterior with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh or abrasive detergents.

Can you open the water tank lid during preparation?

No, never open the water tank lid during brewing. Risk of burns.

What to do if coffee grounds end up in the cup?

This may be due to a filter that is too small or too much ground coffee. Use a size 1 x 4 filter and reduce the amount of ground coffee.

The coffee preparation takes too long, what to do?

This is probably due to limescale buildup. Descale the appliance as indicated in the manual.

Can I use the glass carafe to fill the water tank?

Yes, you can use the coffee pot to fill the water tank. Make sure not to exceed the MAX mark.

How to dispose of the appliance at the end of its life?

Note About the Brewing Process

During the brewing process and depending on the degree of grinding and the used amount, the coffee powder absorbs a certain amount of water. That is why the quantity of coffee might diverge from the quantity of water in the water tank.

European Regulations on Energy Saving

NOTE:

The European Directive 2009 / 125 / EC (Ecodesign Directive) incorporates measurements for energy saving.

The following applies to coffee makers: The keep-warm period is limited to max. 40 minutes after which the appliance turns off automatically.

You benefit from better safety and lower energy consumption.

Electric Connection

1. Ensure that your mains power corresponds with the specifications of the appliance. The specifications are printed on the type label.
2. Connect the mains cable to a properly installed and earthed wall outlet.

Initial Operation

Before making coffee for the first time operate the appliance twice with clean water only and without paper filter. This removes dust, which may have collected during transport.

Follow the instructions given under "Operation".

Turning the Appliance On/Off

• Press the button again to turn off the appliance or to cancel brewing. The indicator lamp of the button turns off.

Operation

1. Open the lid of the water tank.
2. Fill cold water according to the desired amount of cups of coffee into the rear water tank. You can determine the water level with the help of the scale in the water tank.

NOTE:

You can use the pot to fill the water tank.

CAUTION:

Do not overfill the tank! Do not fill it above the MAX mark.

1. Insert the filter holder. Pay attention to the guides at the bottom of the filter holder.
2. Turn over the lower fold of the paper filter (size 1 x 4) and place it in the filter funnel. Then fill it with coffee powder.

NOTE:

Do not put too much coffee powder into the filter to avoid spillage.

1. Now close the lid of the water tank. It must engage.
2. Place the jug onto the warming plate.

CAUTION: Drip stop

Your appliance comes with a drip stop. It closes when removing the coffee pot. This prevents the coffee from dripping onto the warming plate if there is still water in the filter.

• Ensure that the lid is attached to the coffee pot. It opens the drip stop.

• If there is still water in the tank, place the pot underneath as soon as possible. Otherwise the filter might overflow.

• Switch on the appliance. The indicator lamp of the button lights up.

NOTE:

The appliance switches off automatically about 30 minutes after the brewing. The indicator lamp of the button turns off.

The Coffee is Ready

• When no more coffee is flowing through the filter you can remove the pot.
• Turn the appliance off.
• Would you like to keep the remaining coffee warm? Leave the appliance turned on until the end of the keep-warm period. If you wish to keep the coffee warm even after the keep-warm period has finished, pour the remaining coffee into a thermal flask.

WARNING:

If you want to make another pot of coffee immediately, switch off the appliance first. Let it cool down with the water tank open in order to avoid hot water splashing refilling with water.

NOTE:

While grabbing both handles you can pull the filter holder out of the appliance. This makes it easier to dispose of the old coffee filter, for example.
