Frequently Asked Questions - TGB0801S Tomado

How to brew coffee with whole beans?

Fill the water reservoir with cold water up to the desired level (2, 4 or 6 cups). Open the filter holder, place a filter (permanent or paper), close it. Pour coffee beans into the bean container (max 90 g). Plug in the appliance. Select the number of cups using the 2, 4 or 6 buttons. Adjust the grind with the rotary knob (coarse or fine). Press the strength button if you want extra strong coffee (indicator lights up). Press the ON/OFF button. Grinding starts then brewing. After 3 beeps, the coffee is ready.

How to use pre-ground coffee?

Fill the water reservoir. Place a filter in the filter holder and add the desired amount of ground coffee (1 level scoop per cup, approx. 5-7 g). Close the filter holder. Plug in the appliance. Select the number of cups. Press the button ☐ (grind) to disable grinding (the indicator lights up). Then press ON/OFF. The coffee will be brewed without grinding.

How to clean the coffee machine?

Before cleaning, ensure the appliance is off, cooled down and unplugged. Remove all removable parts (carafe, filter holder, filter, water reservoir, bean container). Wash them with hot water and mild dish soap, rinse thoroughly and dry. Clean the exterior and hot plate with a slightly damp cloth then dry. Never immerse the appliance in water.

When and how to descale the machine?

It is recommended to descale after about 60 brewing cycles. Use a special descaling agent for coffee makers or household vinegar. For vinegar: place a filter (permanent or paper) in the filter holder. Fill the water reservoir with a mixture of 4 parts water to 1 part vinegar up to the 6 mark. Plug in, press the button ⚡ then ON/OFF. Let the mixture run through. Empty the carafe and remove the filter. Repeat the operation at least 3 times with clear water to remove any vinegar residue.

What to do in case of sudden shutdown?

The appliance may shut down due to overheating from scale. Check that the water reservoir is not empty and that the carafe is properly placed. If the problem persists, descale the machine. If the appliance does not start, check the fuse or circuit breaker. Do not attempt to repair yourself; contact customer service.

How to adjust the grind and strength of the coffee?

The grind is adjusted with the rotary knob on top of the machine: turn towards the large grain for a coarse grind, towards the small grain for a fine grind. The strength is adjusted with the button ☐: when the indicator is on, the coffee is extra strong; off, it is less strong. These adjustments are only available in bean mode.

Can the glass carafe be removed during brewing?

Yes, thanks to the drip-stop system. You can remove the carafe temporarily without coffee dripping. However, replace it quickly to avoid coffee overflowing from the filter. Do not touch the filter holder lid during brewing to avoid burns.

How long does the coffee stay hot?

After brewing, the hot plate keeps the coffee warm for 35 minutes. After this time, the appliance shuts off automatically. You can also pour the coffee into a thermos bottle to keep it longer.

What types of coffee are not recommended?

Do not use unroasted or wet coffee beans, as they can damage the grinder. Only put whole coffee beans in the bean container. Also avoid any foreign objects in the container.

How to completely turn off the coffee machine?

For a complete shut-off, always unplug the plug from the power outlet. The machine has a standby that turns off the indicators after 1 minute of inactivity, but the hot plate remains hot. Press any button to reactivate the appliance before turning it off completely.

PRIOR TO FIRST USE

Before using the coffee machine for the first time, proceed as follows: Carefully unpack your coffee machine and remove all packaging material and possible promotional stickers. Keep the packaging (plastic bags and cardboard) out of reach of children. After unpacking the appliance, carefully check it for external damage that may have occurred during transport.

Check that the voltage stated on the information plate matches the mains voltage used in your region.

Place the coffee machine on a flat, stable and heat-resistant surface.

It is best to clean the interior of the new coffee machine prior to using it for the first time. This is done by filling the water reservoir with cold water up to the 6 mark and using the appliance two to three times without coffee.

Clean the exterior of the appliance as described in section CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE.

MAKING COFFEE WITH COFFEE BEANS

1. Lift the water reservoir from the coffee machine, fold open the cover and fill the reservoir under the tap with cold drinking water up to the required level (2, 4 or 6 cups). Do not fill the reservoir above the 6 mark. Place the reservoir back in the coffee machine.
2. Swing open the filter holder. Remove the ring-shaped cover of the filter holder. Place the permanent, washable filter or a paper coffee filter (size 1x2) of which the edges have been folded back in the filter holder. This prevents the filter bag from folding inwards and closing.
3. Place the ring-shaped cover back on the filter holder and swing the filter holder fully closed again.
4. Place the glass jug on the hot plate by sliding it under the filter holder with drip stop.
5. Put the coffee beans in the coffee bean holder on top of the coffee machine and place the cover back on the coffee bean holder. We recommend not adding too many coffee beans, to prevent the unused beans from becoming damp in the coffee bean holder. The holder is able to contain a maximum of 90 grams of coffee beans.

Warning: Only fill the coffee bean holder with coffee beans and make sure that no foreign objects end up in the holder. Also do not use any unroasted or damp coffee beans. These might damage the appliance.

SWITCHING OFF THE COFFEE MACHINE

When the appliance is switched on and is not used for a period of 1 minute, the indicator lights will switch off. Press a random button on the control panel to activate the appliance again.

Attention! If you want to switch off the appliance completely, you must remove the plug from the socket. The hot plate cools down slowly after switching off and could remain hot for some time.

Do not forget to remove the paper filter bag and throw it away or to remove the permanent filter and rinse it clean. Swing open the filter holder and remove the filter. Throw away the filter bag. When using the permanent filter, empty it, clean it and use it again. Allow the appliance to cool down properly first, before removing the filter.

Attention: This coffee machine comes with a drip stop. This means that the flow of coffee is stopped immediately when the glass jug is removed. The filter holder is closed off, as a result of which the flow of coffee is stopped. Be sure to place back the glass jug as quickly as possible to prevent the filter from overflowing. When making coffee, do not touch the cover to prevent burns due to hot steam.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Regularly clean the coffee machine. This is not only beneficial for the life span of the appliance, it also ensures optimum use of the appliance and, of course, good tasting coffee.

Cleaning should involve the following:

• Prior to cleaning, always check that the coffee machine is switched off, cooled down and that the plug has been removed from the socket.
• Remove all separate components from the appliance.
• After each use, clean all separate components in hot water and a mild washing-up liquid. Then rinse thoroughly with hot water and wipe dry.
• Regularly clean the outside of the appliance and the hot plate with a slightly damp cloth and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth
• Place back all components correctly in the appliance.

Warning:

• Never use aggressive and/or abrasive cleaning agents when cleaning.
• Never submerge the appliance, cord or plug in water.
• The grinding system in the coffee bean holder is very sharp. Avoid touching it.

DE-SCALING

Regularly de-scale your coffee machine. The de-scaling intervals depend on the hardness of the mains water and the frequency at which the coffee machine is being used. Due to scaling, the heating element can become obstructed. This causes overheating, as a result of which the coffee machine is switched off automatically as a safety precaution and will no longer function. The coffee machine will have to be repaired.

We recommend de-scaling the appliance after making coffee 60 times. You can de-scale the coffee machine with a special de-scaling agent for coffee machines or with kitchen grade vinegar. If you use a special de-scaling agent for coffee machines, you must observe the instructions on the packaging of this agent.

TOMADO®

When using kitchen grade vinegar, proceed as follows:

1. Place the permanent filter or empty filter bag in the filter holder and make sure all loose parts are placed in the appliance correctly. Fill the water reservoir with clean, cold water and cold kitchen grade vinegar up to the 6 mark. The water and kitchen grade vinegar ratio should be 4:1.
2. Insert the plug into the socket. Press the button 🔍 and start the appliance by pressing the button .
3. The de-scaling process has been completed when the water reservoir and coffee filter are empty. Empty the glass jug and remove the permanent filter or filter bag from the filter holder.
4. After de-scaling, allow a full reservoir of cold water to flow through the appliance at least 3 times, to remove all de-scaling liquid and vinegar residues and thus prevent a sour taste in the coffee.

Attention! If the coffee machine has not been used for some time, e.g. due to vacation, it is recommended to remove and clean all separate components. Then place the cleaned separate components back on their place and allow the coffee machine to make one run with clean water. In this way you will prevent a possible foreign taste.

1. A clean coffee machine is essential for making delicious coffee. Regularly clean and de-scale the coffee machine, as described in CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE and DE-SCALING.
2. Use cold and clean drinking water for making coffee.
3. Store coffee beans and extra-fine grind coffee on a cool and dry place. Close opened packages air-tight and store them in the fridge.
4. The optimum coffee taste can be achieved by grinding fresh coffee beans just before you start making coffee.
