Frequently Asked Questions - CM401 TEFAL

How to use the coffee maker for the first time?

Before first use, run the coffee maker without coffee with 0.5 L or 1 L of water (depending on model) to rinse the system. Fill the tank with cold water, place an empty filter, and run a full cycle. Then discard the water.

How much ground coffee per cup?

Use one tablespoon of ground coffee per cup. Adjust to taste for a stronger or weaker coffee.

How to clean the coffee maker?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool down. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. The filter holder and removable tank are dishwasher safe. Never immerse the appliance in water.

How often should I descale the coffee maker?

Descale every 40 cycles. Use a special descaling solution or white vinegar diluted in two large cups of water, then rinse by running 2 to 3 cycles of fresh water.

What to do if coffee drips too slowly or the appliance makes noise?

This usually indicates a need for descaling. Perform a complete descaling. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service center.

Can I use the carafe on a stove or in the microwave?

No. The glass carafe is not suitable for flames, electric hobs, or microwaves. Use it only on the coffee maker's heating plate.

The appliance makes noise during operation, is this normal?

A slight noise from flowing and heating is normal. If the noise becomes excessive, it may be due to limescale: descale the coffee maker.

How to avoid burns during use?

Do not remove the carafe during a cycle without caution. If you remove it, the coffee stops dripping but the plate remains hot. Wait for the appliance to cool down before cleaning. Do not let the cord hang within reach of children.

Can I leave the coffee maker on after use?

It is recommended to turn off the switch as soon as the carafe is empty or when you are not using the appliance to save energy and avoid overheating.

Where to find spare parts like the carafe or tank?

Contact an authorized Tefal service center or check the official website to order spare parts compatible with your CM401 model.

• Do not immerse the appliance, power cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
• Do not leave the power cord within reach of children.
• The power cord must never be close to or in contact with the hot parts of your appliance, near a source of heat or over a sharp edge.
• For your safety, only use the manufacturer's accessories and spare parts designed for your appliance.
• Do not pull on the cord to unplug the appliance.
• Do not use the jug over a flame or on the hob of a cooker.
• Do not pour water into the appliance if it is still hot.
  • Always close the lid (a) when running the coffee maker.
• All appliances are subject to strict quality control procedures. These include actual usage tests on randomly selected appliances, which would explain any traces of use.
• Do not use your jug in a microwave oven.
• Do not leave unattended whilst in operation.
• This appliance is intended to be used only in the household.

It is not intended to be used in the following applications, and the guarantee will not apply for:

• staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;
• farm houses;
• by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments;
• bed and breakfast type environments.

Before using for the first time.

• Run the coffee maker for the first time without coffee, rinsing the circuit with 0.5 litres or 1 litre of water (depending on model).

Making coffee

(Follow illustrations 1 to 8)

• Plug the coffee maker into a mains socket with the same voltage as that indicated on the rating plate of the appliance.
• Remove the water tank, fill it with cold water from the tap, put it back in place at the rear of the coffee maker.
• The marks on the tank show the volume of water required for the number of cups desired.
• Fit a coffee filter (filter paper n°4 or permanent filter) into the filter holder. Add one tablespoonful of ground coffee for each cup. If you prefer your coffee slightly stronger or weaker, adjust the quantity of coffee to suit your taste.
• Fit the filter holder onto its support and close the lid.
• Place the jug onto the hot plate.
• Switch on. The "ON" indicator light shows that the machine is operating.
• If you want to serve a cup of coffee before the end of the cycle, simply remove the jug from the hot plate. The coffee will stop flowing automatically. Return the jug to the plate quickly so that the coffee may continue flowing.
• At the end of a cycle, wait for around one minute until the water in the filter stops flowing into the jug. We recommend leaving the lid on the jug so that it is easier to use and so that the coffee stays at the right temperature for longer.
• To keep the coffee hot, place the jug on the hot plate after serving the coffee. The hot plate automatically stays at the ideal temperature as long as the coffee machine is switched on.
• Switch off when the jug is empty or when the appliance is not in use.
• If you want to prepare another coffee cycle, switch off the appliance and wait for 10 minutes so that the heating elements can cool down.

Important : if you do not let the appliance cool down before preparing another coffee cycle, the water in the tank may become too hot and a jet of steam may come out, causing burns.

Cleaning

• To dispose of the used coffee grounds, remove the filter holder (e) from the coffee maker.

• Unplug the appliance.

• Do not clean the appliance while hot.

• Clean with a damp cloth or sponge.
• Never put the appliance in water or under running water.
• The filter holder and removable water tank can be washed in the dishwasher.

Descaling

- Descale your coffee maker after every 40 cycles.

You can use:

• a packet of limescale remover diluted in 2 cups of water.

• or 2 cups of white vinegar (available in hardware stores).

• Pour into the tank (b) and switch the coffee maker on (without coffee).

• Let the equivalent of one cup flow into the jug (c), then stop it.
• Leave to work for one hour.
• Switch the coffee maker back on to run the rest of the descaling solution through.
• Rinse the coffee maker by running 0.5 litres or 1 litre of water (depending on model) through it 2 or 3 times.

The guarantee does not cover coffee makers that do not work properly or do not work at all because they have not been descaled.
