| ■When hot water does not come out from the Dripping Vent smoothly, clean with Citric Acid. |
| With use of the Coffee Maker, minerals contained in water may accumulate inside the pipes. These are called "lime scale" and if they accumulate, the water may not drip smoothly, the amount of brewed coffee may be less, or the Purifying Filter may become clogged. To remove the lime scale, please follow "How to Perform Citric Acid Cleaning" on the following page. (P.14) ●The amount of lime scale formation varies as it depends on the water type and its quality. More lime scale may accumulate with the use of mineral-rich water. |
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE (cont.)
■ How to Perform Citric Acid Cleaning.
Lime scale may have formed and clogged the Dripping Vent.
If this happens, please clean the product with the following procedures:
Always detach the Purifying Filter before cleaning and maintenance (refer to page 12 for details). Performing the Lime scale cleaning listed below without detaching the Purifying Filter may alter the taste of the coffee.
1 Add one teaspoon of citric acid (approx. 4g) to the Glass Jug with 500mL of water. Stir well until the citric acid dissolves, pour in the Water Tank and set the Water Tank to the Main Body.
2 Set the Lid, Glass Jug and Cone Basket to the Main Body and begin brewing. Turn off the switch when the water level reaches 1 (one).
- Always remove the Lid for Cone Basket when performing citric acid cleaning, as hot water may spill.
After the liquid with the citric acid has completely cooled down, remove the scale floating in the liquid and pour the liquid back to the Water Tank and repeat procedure 2.
- Brewing with liquid that is not completely cooled down may cause hot water to spew.
4 After the Keep Warm Plate has cooled down, empty the Water Tank, and repeat the brewing process (rinse process) with only water a few times. (When brewing more than one carafe of coffee, turn off the Switch (the lamp will go out) and wait at least 5 minutes before starting the next brewing cycle.)
