Frequently Asked Questions - M12FCB11E MATSUI

How do I descale the coffee maker?

Mix equal parts white vinegar and water, run a brew cycle without coffee, then run two cycles with clean water. Descaling removes mineral buildup.

Can I use ground coffee instead of pods?

Yes, the M12FCB11E uses a permanent mesh filter for ground coffee. Do not use pods.

How many cups does it brew at once?

It brews up to 10 cups (1.2 L). The carafe has cup markings.

How do I clean the permanent filter?

Rinse under running water and scrub gently with a soft brush. Avoid using soap as it may affect taste.

Why is my coffee weak?

Use a finer grind or more coffee grounds. Also check if the permanent filter is clogged.

Does the machine auto shut-off?

Yes, it shuts off automatically after 2 hours of inactivity for safety.

Can I brew a partial pot?

Yes, fill the water tank to the desired level. The anti-drip system allows pausing mid-brew.

What type of filter does it use?

It uses a reusable mesh filter (included). Paper filters are not compatible.

How to remove limescale from the heating element?

Use a descaling solution or a vinegar-water mixture. Regular descaling prolongs machine life.

Is the carafe dishwasher safe?

The glass carafe is top-rack dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to preserve markings.

!

• Switch off your coffee maker when the jug is empty or when you are not using it. Unplug the mains cable when not using the coffee maker for a long period of time.
• To avoid the risk of personal injury or damage to property as a result of overflow, be sure that the jug is squarely centred under the filter holder during the brewing cycle.
• The brewed coffee in the jug and the grounds in the filter are very hot. Handle them with care to avoid scalding.
• If the coffee fails to drain into the jug during the brewing cycle causing overflows, do not open or touch the filter holder. Unplug the coffee maker, and wait for it to cool down before handling.

Your coffee maker must be cleaned when you notice any excessive steaming or the brewing time increases considerably. This condition is caused by a build-up of lime and mineral deposits from your water. If the pumping action stops before all the water has been pumped out of the coffee maker, then it requires cleaning. The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of the water used. The following table gives suggested cleaning intervals.

Type of Water Cleaning Frequency

Soft Water Every 80 Brewing Cycles

Hard Water Every 40 Brewing Cycles

Pour one litre of undiluted white household vinegar into your coffee maker 's water tank.

1. Place the empty jug on the warming plate and switch on the coffee maker. When half of the vinegar has flowed through, switch off the coffee maker and allow it to stand for 1/2 hour.
2. After 1/2 hour, pour the vinegar inside the jug back into the coffee maker's water tank.
3. Place the empty jug on the warming plate. Switch on the coffee maker again and allow the coffee maker to complete its brewing cycle with all of the vinegar flowing through into the jug.
4. Discard the vinegar.
5. To remove all traces of vinegar, pour a jug full of tap water into the water tank of the coffee maker, then switch on the coffee maker again and allow it to cycle through.
6. Discard the water and switch off the coffee maker.

Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the jug. Coffee can discolour these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain inside the jug. To remove these stains, follow these simple steps:

1. Use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and hot water.
2. Let solution stand in jug for about 20 minutes and then discard.
3. Wash and rinse the jug thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners.

Jug and filter are dishwasher safe.

Question Answer
Why doesn’t the ON/OFF switch light up?	Check that you have plugged your coffee maker into the mains socket.
Why doesn’t the coffee brew?	Check that you have plugged the unit into the mains socket. The filter holder is not properly inserted, or there is a power outage, or the water tank is empty.
Why does the coffee maker only brew water?	There is no coffee in the filter, check that you have added the desired amount of coffee.
Why does the coffee taste bad?	Maybe you did not use the coffee grind recommended for automatic drip coffee makers. The ground coffee-to-water ratio was unbalanced. The coffee maker needs to be cleaned.
Why do grounds appear in the coffee?	The filter is not properly seated in the filter holder or the filter has collapsed.
