Frequently Asked Questions - Duo Tech OBH NORDICA

How do I use the Duo Tech coffee maker for the first time?

Remove all packaging and stickers. Fill both water tanks with water (no coffee) and run a cycle to rinse the circuits. Then you can start brewing coffee as per the instructions.

Can I use only one side of the coffee maker?

Yes, the two coffee makers are independent and can be used separately or together. Each side has its own water tank and jug.

What is the aroma function and how do I use it?

The aroma function (on the left side) provides stronger coffee when brewing only 1 to 3 cups. Set the switch to 'AROMA 1-3' position. For 4 or more cups, keep the switch in OFF position.

How do I clean the glass jug and filter holder?

The glass jugs, their lids, and the filter holder are dishwasher safe. However, thermal jugs (if included) must be hand washed with mild detergent and a soft brush, and never immersed in water or placed in the dishwasher.

How often should I descale the coffee maker?

Descale every 40 cycles if you have hard water, or every 80 cycles for soft water. Use a descaling agent or white vinegar. Follow the descaling instructions in the manual.

What should I do if the coffee maker is making too much noise or water flow is slow?

This is usually a sign that the appliance needs descaling. Perform a descaling cycle as described in the manual. If the problem persists, contact an authorized service center.

Is it safe to leave the coffee maker unattended?

The appliance has an automatic shut-off: for glass jugs it turns off after about 30 minutes, for thermal jugs after 3 minutes. However, always supervise children and keep the appliance out of reach of children under 8.

Can I use the thermal jug in the microwave or on a stove?

No, never put the thermal jug in a microwave, on a flame, or on electric cooking plates. Also, do not use it without the lid.

What does the anti-drip system do?

The anti-drip system allows you to remove the jug during coffee preparation without dripping. However, you should return the jug promptly to prevent overflow of the filter holder.

Where can I find replacement accessories?

You can obtain accessories such as a glass jug (ref 034) or spare tea filter (ref 308) from your usual retailer or any approved service center.
