Frequently Asked Questions - TKA3A011, TKA3A014, TKA3A034 BOSCH

How to prepare coffee with this Bosch coffee maker?

Fill the water tank with cold water, insert a paper filter, add ground coffee (about 7 g per cup), place the closed carafe, then press the On/Off button. Wait until the flow ends before serving.

What to do before first use?

Remove stickers and films. Unwind the cord and plug in. Run the machine twice with clear water (without coffee) to clean it. If odor persists, use a vinegar solution (6 cups water + 2 cups vinegar) then rinse thoroughly.

How to clean the coffee maker after each use?

Unplug the appliance. Wash removable parts (lid, filter holder, carafe) in the dishwasher. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Never immerse the machine in water.

How often should I descale the machine?

Descale regularly when brewing time increases, steam is excessive, or noise intensifies. Use a commercial descaling product following the instructions in the manual.

Why does my coffee maker produce condensation on the filter holder?

This is a normal phenomenon due to steam. It does not indicate a defect in the appliance.

Can I use milk or tea in the water tank?

No, fill only with pure cold water. Milk or prepared beverages would damage the machine.

What does the 'auto off' model mean?

Models TKA3A014 and TKA3A034 automatically shut off after 2 hours of inactivity to save energy. You can also turn them off manually via the On/Off button.

Why is the coffee dripping slowly or the machine stopping mid-cycle?

This is usually due to significant scale buildup. Descale the machine according to instructions. If water is very hard, descale more often.

What type of filter to use?

Use a size 1x4 paper filter. Place it in the swing-out filter holder before adding ground coffee.

Where to find spare parts or contact customer service?

For repairs (e.g., damaged cord), contact our After-Sales Service. In France, call 0 892 698 009 for spare parts or 0 892 698 010 for consumer service.

General information

• Fill water tank 1 with clean, cold water only. Never add milk or beverages such as tea or coffee since this will damage the appliance.
• Never exceed the "10" marking when you fill the tank 1 with water.
• Use coffee with a medium grind (approx. 7 g per cup).

• Do not brew less than the minimum amount of three cups since the coffee will not have the desired strength and temperature (1 cup = approx. 125 ml).

• Never remove the glass carafe 6 while the machine is brewing coffee since this may cause the filter holder 4 to overflow.

• Make sure that glass carafe's lid is closed when you place the carafe 6 on the coffee machine.
• Do not use other carafes since the special drip protector will block the coffee from flowing into the receptacle.
• Some water accumulation on the filter holder 4 is normal; it does not indicate that the coffee machine is defective.

Before using for the first time

• Remove any stickers or film.
• Pull enough of the power cable out of the storage compartment 9 and plug in.
• Remove coffee pot handle from storage compartment and rotate forwards.
• To clean, open the lid 2 and fill the water tank 1 with nine cups of water. Close the lid 2, insert the glass carafe 6 and press the ON/OFF switch 7 to switch on and start the cleaning process.
• Repeat the cleaning process.

Note: You may notice a "new machine" smell; this is normal. If this is the case, fill with a vinegar solution (2 cups of vinegar for 6 cups of water) and run the cleaning program. Next, rinse the machine twice with 9 cups of water.

• Clean the carafe thoroughly.

Brewing coffee

• Fill the water tank 1 with water, taking note of the marking.
• Swivel out the filter holder 4.
• Insert a 1x4 paper filter in the filter holder 4 and add the desired amount of coffee.
• Swivel back the filter holder 4 and let it click into place.

• Place the glass carafe 6 with the lid closed underneath the filter holder 4.

• Press the ON/OFF switch 7 to start the brewing cycle.

Note: The "auto off" model has an auto off (energy-saving) program that switches the appliance off after approximately two hours.

Important: When the brewing process is complete, wait a moment until all the coffee has run through the filter and into the carafe.

Let the machine cool down for five minutes before brewing a fresh pot.

Coffee-making tips
