Frequently Asked Questions - KA 6501 we Exquisit

Why is my coffee not flowing or flowing very slowly?

This may be due to a blockage in the filter or a need for descaling. Check that the carafe is properly positioned with its lid, that the filter is not overfilled, and descale if necessary. The normal brewing time is 8 to 12 minutes.

How do I descale my Exquisit KA 6501 coffee maker?

Use a common descaling product based on citric acid. Follow the dosages indicated on the package. After descaling, run 3 to 4 reservoirs of clean water to rinse. Do not consume this rinsing water.

What type of paper filter should I use?

Use size 1x4 paper filters. Fold the bottom edge of the filter before inserting it into the filter holder.

Why is there coffee grounds in my cup?

This may be due to a paper filter that is too small (use size 1x4) or an excessive amount of ground coffee in the filter. Reduce the amount of coffee.

How do I clean my coffee maker?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool down. Clean the exterior with a slightly damp cloth without additives. Wash the carafe and filter holder in warm soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaners and do not immerse the appliance.

What should I do if the appliance does not turn on?

Check that the plug is properly inserted and that the outlet works (test with another appliance). Check the fuses. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

Can I use the thermal carafe with the drip-stop system?

Yes, the coffee maker is supplied with a glass carafe and a thermal carafe. The drip-stop system works when the carafe is properly positioned with its lid on the hot plate.

How long does it take to brew a full pot?

The coffee brewing process takes about 8 to 12 minutes, depending on the amount of water and coffee.

What is the maximum capacity of the water tank?

Do not exceed the MAX mark of the water tank. The capacity is about 10 cups. Use the graduations to measure water.

How to prevent coffee grounds from overflowing the filter?

Ensure that the carafe is placed with its lid, that the drip-stop system is open, and do not put too much ground coffee. Use a suitable paper filter (size 1x4). If the problem persists, turn off the appliance, unplug it, and clean.
