Frequently Asked Questions - KA 9314 SEVERIN

How to brew coffee with the Severin KA 9314?

Open the lid, fill the reservoir with cold water, insert a No. 4 paper filter and add ground coffee (about 6g per cup). Place the thermal carafe with its permeable lid, then turn on the appliance with the on/off switch. The coffee flows into the carafe. Once the cycle is complete, the appliance turns off automatically.

How to clean the thermal carafe?

Do not dismantle the carafe and do not put it in the dishwasher. Rinse the inside with hot water and wipe the outside with a damp cloth. For stubborn deposits, fill with hot water and a spoonful of dishwasher detergent, let it sit for a few hours, then rinse thoroughly.

How to descale the coffee maker?

Descale every 30 to 40 cycles. Mix 80 ml of white vinegar with the maximum amount of cold water. Pour into the reservoirs, insert a paper filter (without coffee) and start a cycle. After 2-3 minutes, turn off and let it sit for 10 minutes, then turn on again. Then rinse by running 2-3 cycles of clear water.

Why is my coffee cold?

The thermal carafe keeps coffee hot longer if it is filled to the maximum. Rinse it with hot water before use to improve heat retention. Make sure the permeable lid is properly placed.

Can I use the coffee maker without a paper filter?

No, a No. 4 paper filter is necessary to retain the coffee grounds. You can use a suitable permanent filter, but the manual recommends paper filter for better extraction.

What to do if the coffee maker does not turn on?

Check the connection and that the power outlet works. Make sure the on/off button is pressed. If the problem persists, contact Severin customer service.

Can children use this appliance?

Children over 8 years old can use it under supervision. Children under 8 years old must stay away from the appliance and its cord. Never leave the carafe within reach of children unattended.

How to adjust the length of the power cord?

A cord storage compartment is located at the back of the appliance. Unroll the desired length before use.

Can I prepare tea with this coffee maker?

Yes, you can use it for tea following the same steps as for coffee, using a suitable filter. However, the manual recommends not using milk or thick beverages.

What do the graduations on the reservoir mean?

The double graduation indicates the number of cups. The marks on the left correspond to large cups (about 125 ml), those on the right to small cups. Do not exceed the maximum number of cups indicated.

Cable storage compartment

Automatic switch-off

To save energy, models with a heat-retaining carafe will switch off automatically once the brewing cycle has been completed.

Before using for the first time

Before making coffee for the first time, let the appliance go through two or three filtration cycles, using the indicated maximum amount of cold water but

without any coffee. Perform this procedure separately for each side. This should also be done if the appliance has not been used for an extended time, and after descaling.

General information

• The double markings on each of the water reservoirs help you to measure the amount of water needed to prepare the required number of cups of coffee. The scale on the left-hand side corresponds to medium-sized cups with a capacity of approx. 125 ml; the one on the right to smaller-sized cups. Take care not to exceed the indicated maximum number of cups.
• If several consecutive brewing cycles are required, switch off the machine after each cycle and let it cool down for approx. 5 minutes.
• Warning: Be careful not to put water into the reservoir immediately after a brewing cycle, as hot steam may escape from the water nozzle. Danger of scalding!
• Caution: Do not attempt to open the lid while brewing is in progress: there is a danger of scalding.

To prepare filter coffee

Coffee can be prepared with one side, or with both sides at the same time.

· Filling the water reservoir:
Open the lid, fill the reservoir with the required amount of fresh cold water and close the lid again.
- Inserting the paper filter:
Open the swing-out filter and insert a size-4 paper filter into the filter holder,

first folding down the perforated sides of the filter.

· Adding ground coffee:

We recommend using finely ground filter coffee, approximately 6 g = 1½ - 2 tsp. per medium-sized cup (125 ml).

· Preparing the carafe:

Place the drip-through lid onto the carafe. If correctly fitted, the lid will disable the drip-stop mechanism in the filter holder during the brewing cycle. Replace the carafe in the appliance.

- Starting the filtering process:

Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet and use the On/Off button to switch the coffee maker on. The filtering process begins.

- Removing the carafe:

When the filtering process is complete, i.e. all water has run through the filter into the carafe, remove the carafe to serve the coffee.

To pour the coffee, turn the lid counterclockwise about half a turn so that the arrow on the lid is aligned with the pouring spout.

After serving, turn the lid clockwise until the two arrows are facing each other.

- The machine will switch off automatically once the brewing cycle is complete.

- Interrupting the brewing cycle:

To interrupt the brewing cycle, press the On/Off button again to turn the appliance off.

· Switching the coffee maker off:

Remove the plug from the wall socket once brewing is complete.

Heat-retaining carafe

- For technical reasons, the screw cap does not make a complete seal. Therefore, always hold the carafe in an upright position.

- Keeping the coffee hot: a heat-retaining carafe accumulates heat energy, and the carafe is therefore better filled to its maximum capacity. If it is only partly filled, the temperature will not be maintained as efficiently. If you rinse out the carafe with hot water before use, the coffee will be kept warm for a longer.

- The glass flask of the heat-retaining carafe is made of high-quality double-walled glass.

- Any streaks or bubble marks inside the carafe looking like bubbles or scratches do not affect its functional use nor its heat-retaining ability.

- For better insulation, there is a vacuum between the two walls.

- In case the glass is damaged for one or the other reason as mentioned below, there is a risk that the glass carafe implodes because of the vacuum. This might happen quite some time after the glass carafe has actually been damaged, so that a connection to the actual cause of the damage is not obvious.

- Therefore, do not drink out of the carafe and do not put your hand into it.

To prevent damage to the glass flask:

- Avoid shocks and large differences in temperature.

- Do not stir liquid inside the carafe with

metal objects or other hard implements, for example with a metal spoon.

• Do not use hard brushes or abrasive cleaning agents.
• Do not wipe the inside with a cloth. Dust particles may damage the glass (in the same way as a glass-cutter).
• Do not put in a dishwasher.
• Do not use in a microwave oven.

Descaling

• Depending on the water quality (lime content) in your area as well as the frequency of use, all thermal household appliances using hot water need descaling (i.e. removal of lime deposits) on a regular basis to warrant proper functioning.
• A lengthening of the brewing time, residual water remaining in the container or increased noise during brewing indicate that descaling of the coffee maker has become necessary.
• An excessive build-up of lime deposits is very difficult to remove, even when strong descaling agents are used. It may also cause the brewing system to leak. To avoid damage caused by the build-up of deposits, descale the appliance after thirty to forty brewing cycles.
• Any warranty claim will be null and void if the appliance malfunctions because of insufficient descaling.
• We recommend using vinegar for descaling.
• Mix 80 ml of vinegar essence with the indicated maximum amount of cold water.
• Pour this mixture into each of the water

reservoirs. Place a paper filter into the filter holder (without ground coffee) and operate the appliance as described in section To prepare filter coffee. Repeat the descaling process if necessary. Ventilate the room during the descaling process and do not breathe in the vinegar vapours.

• Switch off after 2-3 minutes and let the descaling solution take affect for 10 minutes, then switch on again.
• To clean both sides of the appliance after descaling, operate it a further 2-3 times with cold fresh water only (without using ground coffee).
• Do not pour descaling agents into enamelled sinks.

Cleaning and care

• Remove the plug from the wall socket and allow the appliance to cool before cleaning.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock, never immerse the coffee maker in water. It may be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth, using a mild detergent. Wipe dry afterwards.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners.
• To remove the used ground coffee, swing open the swing-out filter and take it out. The coffee grounds can be composted.
• Rinse the swing-out filter in clean water.

Heat-retaining carafe:

• Do not dismantle the heat-retaining carafe, do not wash in a dishwasher and do not immerse it in water.
• Rinse the inside with water and wipe the outside with a clean damp cloth after use.
• To remove coffee deposits from the inside of the heat-retaining carafe, fill it with hot water and add a tablespoon of dishwasher detergent. Close the screw cap and leave the carafe for some hours. Rinse out thoroughly with water afterwards.
• Drip-throughlid:

To clean the drip-through lid, it must be fitted before the water (with or without detergent) is poured out, so that the water flows through the lid. If a dishwasher detergent is used, rinse thoroughly with fresh water afterwards. To clean the valve in the drip-through lid, push the valve in and flush with warm water.
