Frequently Asked Questions - WKCMR621WH WESTINGHOUSE

How to descale the coffee maker?

Use a descaler for plastic coffee makers or a mixture of 50% water / 50% white vinegar. Fill the water tank to MAX, run a cycle, then let it sit for 15 minutes after 2 cups. Rinse with 3 cycles of clean water.

Why is the coffee too weak?

Check the amount of ground coffee: use 1 level scoop per cup, then adjust to taste. Make sure the filter is correctly installed.

The machine does not turn on, what to do?

Check that the power cord is properly plugged into a working wall outlet. Press the ON/OFF switch to the I position. If the indicator does not light up, contact after-sales service.

Can I use paper filters?

Yes, you can use size 1x4 paper coffee filters. Place them in the filter basket before adding ground coffee.

How long does the coffee stay hot?

The hot plate keeps the coffee warm for a maximum of 30 minutes, then the appliance automatically turns off.

Water overflows from the tank, why?

Do not exceed the MAX mark (1.25 L). Make sure the lid is properly closed and the coffee carafe is correctly placed on the hot plate.

Can I use ground coffee other than drip grind?

Use ground coffee suitable for filters. Too fine a grind can clog the filter. Follow the recommended dosage.

How to clean the water tank?

Rinse periodically with cold water by running a cycle without coffee. Do not use detergent or cloth inside to avoid residues.

What to do if coffee flow is very slow?

This may be due to a clogged filter or limescale. Clean the filter and descale the machine. Use medium grind coffee.

The appliance stops during brewing, is this normal?

If you remove the coffee carafe for more than 30 seconds, the pause and serve function activates and then the appliance stops. Quickly replace the carafe to resume.

Descaling

Limescale is present in tap water and will build up over a period of time depending on how hard or soft the water is in your area.

Descale your coffee maker once every 3 months if you live in an area with soft water, or once every month if you live in an area with hard water. Regular descaling ensures proper function, product longevity and saves energy.

To descale with a commercially available descaling solution:

• Choose a descaler suitable for plastic coffee makers and follow the package instructions.
• Make sure you rinse the coffee maker fully after descaling to flush out any chemical residues.

To descale with white vinegar:

1. Open the lid (4).

2. Fill the water tank (5) to the MAX level with a vinegar solution of 50 percent water and 50 percent white vinegar. You can increase the amount of vinegar if your coffee maker is particularly dirty.
