Frequently Asked Questions - KA 5306 SEVERIN

How do I descale the SEVERIN KA 5306 coffee maker?

Descaling is recommended every 30-40 brewing cycles. Use a commercially available descaling agent or a vinegar solution (mix 2-3 tablespoons of vinegar with about 10 cups of cold water). Pour the mixture into the water reservoir, place a paper filter in the filter holder, and run a brewing cycle. After descaling, run 2-3 cycles with clean water only.

What should I do if the coffee maker does not turn on?

First, check that the plug is properly inserted into a working earthed socket. If it still doesn't work, allow the appliance to cool down for 5 minutes after a brewing cycle before switching it on again. If the problem persists, contact qualified personnel for repairs.

Why does the filter overflow during brewing?

Possible causes: the aroma protection lid is not correctly fitted on the carafe, the filter holder is not inserted correctly, the carafe is not properly placed on the hot-plate, there is too much ground coffee in the filter, or the coffee grind is too fine. Check all these items.

How do I clean the coffee maker?

Always unplug and let cool before cleaning. Do not immerse in water. Wipe the main unit with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The filter holder, glass carafe, and carafe lid are dishwasher safe. The water reservoir can be cleaned in warm soapy water.

What type of ground coffee should I use?

Use finely ground filter coffee. Recommended amount is approximately 6 g (1½ - 2 teaspoons) per medium-sized cup (125 ml). Do not use too fine a grind as it may cause overflow.

How do I replace the water reservoir?

Grip the recess on the water reservoir and lift it out. Open the reservoir, fill with fresh cold water, close the lid, and replace it in the appliance. Push down to open the valve in the bottom.

What does the restricted noise during brewing mean?

Some noise is perfectly normal as water passes through the system. However, increased noise or a longer brewing time typically indicates that the appliance needs descaling due to lime buildup.

Can I use the coffee maker without a paper filter?

No, the appliance is designed to be used with a paper filter (size 1x4 or 4). Using it without a filter may result in overflow and poor coffee quality.

Is the coffee maker safe to leave unattended while on?

No, do not leave the appliance unattended while it is switched on. The hot-plate and carafe become very hot, posing a burn hazard. Always switch off and unplug after use.

What is the capacity of the coffee maker?

The coffee maker can brew up to 10 cups, each with a capacity of 125 ml. The measuring scale on the glass carafe indicates the amount of coffee after brewing. Do not exceed the maximum water level.

Important safety instructions

Danger for children and persons with reduced capabilities to operate such appliances

- This appliance is not intended for use by any person (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Keep children well away from packaging materials, as they are a potential source of danger, e.g. from suffocation.

Danger from electric shock

Before the appliance is used, the main unit as well as any accessory fitted should be checked thoroughly for any defects. Should the appliance, for instance, have been dropped onto a hard surface, it must

not be used any longer: even invisible damage may have adverse effects on the operational safety of the appliance.

Always remove the plug from the wall ● socket

in cases of malfunction, - when removing the water reservoir, - -when it is not in use, during cleaning.

• Do not allow the power cord to hang free; the cord must be kept well away from hot parts of the appliance.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended while it is switched on.
• Use only original accessory parts; the use of any attachments other than those provided by the manufacturer may cause serious hazards to the user.
• In order to comply with safety regulations and to avoid hazards, repairs of electrical appliances must be carried out by qualified personnel, including the replacement of the power cord.

Warning - danger of burns/scalding

• The hot-plate becomes very hot during operation; it remains hot for some time even after switching off. Caution: There is a danger of burns.
• The glass carafe becomes very hot as well. Caution: There is a danger of burns. Always use the handle when handling the hot carafe.

To prevent the danger of hot water or steam being emitted, always switch the coffee maker off and allow sufficient time for it to cool down before opening the water container lid or removing any accessories.

Caution - material damage

- Do not allow the appliance or its power cord to touch hot surfaces or to come into contact with any heat sources.

- During operation, the coffee maker must be placed on a level, non-slip surface, impervious to splashes and stains.

As most of today's furniture is coated

with different kinds of lacquer or plastic materials, which are then treated with various cleaning agents, it cannot be completely ruled out that some of those materials contain substances which may react with the rubber feet of the appliance, i.e. softening them. To prevent this, a suitable non-slip mat should be placed under the appliance wherever necessary.

- Caution: There is a danger of scalding from hot water or steam escaping through the fi lter insert lid during use. Ensure that the steam is allowed to escape freely. Do not, therefore., place the appliance underneath a shelf and keep well away from hot steam.

Before using for the first time

Before making coffee for the first time, let the appliance go through two or three cycles using the indicated maximum amount of cold water, but without using ground coffee or a paper filter. This should also be done if the appliance has not been used for an extended period of time, and after descaling.

General information

A measuring scale on the glass carafe - facilitates filling the container with the correct amount of clean water. The scale shows the amount of coffee available after brewing. The scale refers to normal-sized cups with a capacity of about 125 ml. Make sure that the indicated maximum amount of water is not exceeded.

- If several consecutive brewing cycles are required, switch off the coffee maker after each cycle and let it cool down for approx. 5 minutes.

Caution: When filling the appliance with fresh water shortly after a brewing cycle is completed, there is a danger of scalding from hot water or steam escaping through the water outlet.

Making coff ee

-Filling with water:

Grip the recess on the water reservoir and lift it out. Open the reservoir, fill it with the required amount of fresh cold water and close the lid. Replace the reservoir in the appliance and push it down to open the valve in the bottom of the reservoir.

You may also use the glass carafe to fill the water reservoir.

- Inserting the paper filter:

Pull out the filter holder by its handle and insert a size 4 paper filter, first folding down its perforated sides.

- Adding ground coffee:

We recommend using fi nely ground fi lter coffee, approximately 6 g = 1½ - 2 tsp. per medium-sized cup (125 ml). Take the fi lter by its handle and replace it into the appliance.

-Preparing the carafe:

Fit the aroma protection lid on the carafe, and then place the carafe into the appliance. Only if correctly inserted will the lid disable the drip-stop mechanism in the filter holder during the brewing cycle.

- Starting the filtering process:

Plug in the appliance and use the On/Off switch to turn the appliance on. The filtration cycle starts and the water passes through the filter.

Note: While the water is passing through the system, certain noises can be heard. This is perfectly normal and no sign of any malfunction.

-Removing the carafe:

Wait until all the water has passed through the fi lter before the carafe is removed from the appliance.

- Switching the coffee maker off:

Th e coff ee may be kept warm inside the carafe by leaving it standing on the hot-plate. Th e plate is kept warm until the appliance is turned off using the On/Off switch. After the appliance has been switched off, it takes several more minutes for the hot-plate to cool down. Always switch off after use and remove the plug from the wall socket.

Descaling

- Like all thermal household appliances using hot water, the coffee maker needs

descaling (i.e. removal of lime deposits) on a regular basis to ensure proper functioning. A lengthening of the brewing time and increased noise during brewing indicate that descaling of the coffee maker has become necessary. The build-up of lime deposits also causes an increase in energy consumption.

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. We therefore strongly recommend descaling the appliance after each thirty to forty brewing cycles. For descaling, a commercially available descaling agent for coffee makers or a vinegar solution may be used.

Mix 2-3 tablespoons of vinegar with about - 10 cups of cold water

Pour this mixture into the water reservoir. – Place a paper filter into the filter holder and fit the filter holder into the appliance. Place the carafe with the aroma protection lid into the appliance.

Operate the appliance as described in the - section Making coff ee.

Repeat the procedure if necessary. For a - second descaling cycle, the same descaling solution may be used again; ensure, however, that it has cooled down completely.

To clean the appliance aft er descaling, let it run through 2-3 filtration cycles using clean water only.

- Thoroughly clean the filter holder after descaling. The carafe should be properly rinsed before the appliance is used again to make coffee.

- Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has cooled down completely.

To avoid the risk of electric shock do not immerse the coff ee maker in water. It may be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth, using a mild detergent. Wipe dry aft erwards.

- Do not use abrasives or aggressive cleaning solutions.

Remove the paper fi lter with the used-coffe grounds and clean the fi lter holder. The filter holder is dishwasher safe. The coff ee grounds as well as the paper fi lter may be composted.

- If necessary, the water reservoir can be cleaned in warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water aft erwards.

Glass carafe:

–Clean the glass carafe in warm soapy water and thoroughly dry aft erwards.

- The glass carafe and lid are dishwasher safe.

- Every time the coffee maker is used, ensure that the handle of the glass carafe is properly and securely fitted. If necessary, the metal ring may be tightened by means of the screw in the handle.

Disposal

Do not dispose of old or defective appliances in domestic garbage; this should only be done through public collection points.
