Frequently Asked Questions - TC60101GB SIEMENS

How do I descale the Siemens TC60101GB coffee maker?

Mix descaling agent according to manufacturer's instructions and pour into tank. Let stand for 5 minutes, then switch on. After 1 minute, switch off and let stand for 10 minutes. Repeat at least 3 times. Then flush twice with 9 cups of clean water. If your model has cup selection, set it to 3-6 cups during descaling. Regular descaling every 3-6 weeks is recommended.

Can I prepare tea with this coffee maker?

Yes, you can prepare tea using the coffee maker. Simply add tea leaves or a tea bag to the filter and proceed as with coffee. However, note that flavours may transfer to subsequent brews, so thorough cleaning is advised after use.

Why does my coffee not taste good?

Possible reasons include: using old or incorrectly ground coffee, not cleaning the appliance regularly, or mineral buildup from hard water. Descaling and cleaning all removable parts after each use can improve taste. Also ensure you use medium-ground coffee and the correct amount (approx. 7g per cup).

How many cups can the TC60101GB make?

The maximum capacity is 10 cups (approximately 85 ml per cup for small cups, 125 ml for large cups). For best results, brew at least 3 large cups to ensure proper temperature and strength.

How do I clean the coffee maker?

Always unplug before cleaning. Do not immerse the appliance. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. All removable parts (jug, filter holder, lid) are dishwasher-safe, but do not place them on the heater element or wedge them in the dishwasher. Clean all coffee-contact parts after each use.

Does the coffee maker turn off automatically?

Yes, the appliance has an automatic shut-off feature that switches it off after approximately 40 minutes to save energy. This cannot be adjusted.

What type of coffee should I use?

Use medium ground coffee with a 1x4 filter bag. Recommended dose is about 7 grams per cup. Use slightly more per cup when brewing fewer cups to maintain strength.

Can I put milk or instant drinks in the water tank?

No, only fill the tank with fresh water. Adding milk, instant tea, or coffee will affect the taste of subsequent brews and may damage the appliance.

How do I use the cup selection switch?

If your model has the additional switch, set it to position '6' for 3-6 cups or position '10' for 7-10 cups. This adjusts the brewing time and coffee strength accordingly. Always set before brewing.

What should I do if the brewing time becomes longer than usual?

This is a sign that descaling is needed. Mineral deposits can clog the system. Follow the descaling procedure in the manual. Also check that the filter is not clogged.
