Frequently Asked Questions - CG-812 FAGOR

How to prepare coffee for the first time?

Before first use, clean the filter holder, permanent filter, carafe and its lid with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry. Run the coffee maker twice with only water (no ground coffee) to rinse the inside. Then you can brew coffee normally.

How much ground coffee to use?

We recommend one level tablespoon of ground coffee per cup. For the CG-812 model, which brews 2 cups of 150 ml, use 2 tablespoons. Adjust to taste after a few uses.

Can I use disposable paper filters?

Yes, the coffee maker comes with a permanent filter, but you can use disposable cone filters. For the CG-812, use size 1x4 (or standard 1x4).

Why is water not flowing into the carafe?

Check that the carafe lid is properly engaged: it must open the anti-drip valve located under the filter holder. If the lid is not well placed, the valve stays closed and water cannot flow, which may cause the filter to overflow.

Can I remove the carafe during brewing?

Yes, the anti-drip valve allows you to remove the carafe to serve a cup before the brewing ends. However, wait until at least two cups have flowed through, and return the carafe immediately after serving to prevent the filter from overflowing.

How to clean the coffee maker?

Turn off and unplug the appliance, let it cool. Wash the filter holder, filter, carafe and lid with warm soapy water, rinse and dry. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive detergents and never immerse the appliance in water.

How often should I descale the coffee maker?

It is recommended to descale every 4 weeks, especially if water is hard. To descale, fill the tank with a mixture of 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water, brew, repeat 2 to 3 times, then rinse by brewing 2 to 3 tanks of clear water.

What to do if the coffee maker no longer heats or does not work?

First check that the appliance is properly plugged in and the switch is on. If the problem persists, do not attempt to repair it yourself. Contact an authorized technical assistance center for diagnosis and repair with original parts.

Can I use hot water or a liquid other than water?

No, always use cold, clean water. Never use warm or hot water or any other liquid (milk, juice, etc.) as this could damage the appliance or cause burns.

How to prevent the glass carafe from breaking?

Do not let the carafe heat while empty, do not place it on a hot or cold surface, avoid shocks and rough handling. Replace the carafe as soon as it shows a crack or weakened handle.

3. IMPORTANT WARNINGS

• After removing the packaging, check that the appliance is in perfect condition. If in doubt, do not use and contact an authorised Technical Assistance Centre.
• The packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene foam etc.) should be kept out of the reach of children, as they could constitute a safety hazard.
• In the event of the socket and plug being incompatible, have a qualified electrician replace the socket.
• The use of adapters and/or extension leads is not advised. In the event of their use being absolutely necessary, always ensure that they conform to current safety standards, and take care not to exceed the indicated maximum voltage level.
• If the appliance fails to work, contact an authorised Technical Assistance Centre.

- The appliance is designed for domestic use only. It should be used as described in this manual. Any other use is considered unsuitable and therefore dangerous. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for damage resulting from improper or irresponsible use, and/or from repairs carried out by unqualified personnel.

Certain fundamental rules must be respected in the use of any electric appliance in order to reduce the risk of fire, electric shocks and/or physical harm:

In particular

• Read all instructions carefully and keep them for future reference.
• The electrical safety of your appliance is only guaranteed if it is connected to an efficient earth installation, as stipulated in current electrical safety regulations. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any damage resulting from the appliance not being connected to an earth installation. If in doubt, contact a qualified professional.
• Before using the appliance for the first time, make sure that the mains voltage in your home corresponds to that indicated for the coffeemaker.
• In order to avoid electric shocks, do not submerge the appliance, cable or plug in water or any other liquid.
• Do not let children or the handicapped use the appliance without supervision.
• Unplug the appliance when not in use and before cleaning. Leave to cool before handling parts and before cleaning.
• Do not leave the appliance open to the elements (rain, sun, frost, etc.).
• Do not use or place any part of this appliance on or near hot surfaces (gas or electric hobs, ovens, etc.)
• Do not let the cable hang over the edge of the surface on which the appliance is placed. Select the minimum cable length

required to plug the appliance into your mains supply.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handles or grips provided.
• If the cable becomes damaged, have it replaced by an authorised Technical Assistance Service.
• Do not use any electrical appliance if the cable or plug are damaged, if it is not working properly or if it is damaged in any way. Take it to an authorised Technical Assistance Service to be examined, repaired or modified.
• In the event of technical failure or improper working, switch the machine off and do not try to repair it. Repairs should only be carried out by an authorised Technical Assistance Service. Always demand the use of original spare parts.
• If you decide never to use the appliance again, it is a good idea to cut the cable, first ensuring that the appliance is unplugged.

The liquid that drips into the jug is hot and may cause burns if the jug is accidentally broken. To avoid breakage, take the following safety precautions:

• Do not allow all the liquid to evaporate. Do not heat the jug when empty.
• Do not use a broken jug or a jug whose handle is loose or weak. Replace if any signs of damage are detected. A tiny crack or breakage of a small piece of the glass may cause the jug to shatter and to contaminate the liquid with splinters of glass.
• Do not clean the jug with an abrasive scourer or any cleaning products that may scratch or otherwise weaken the glass.
• The jug is designed for use with this appliance. Do not place it on or near hot surfaces (heaters, burners, hobs, hot ovens, microwaves, etc.).
• Do not place the jug on wet or cold surfaces.
• Handle gently and avoid knocking.

4. BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Before using for the first time, familiarise yourself with all the components. Read all instructions carefully.

Remove the filter-holder (4) (fig. 2) and the jug lid (7) (fig. 3) and clean along with the jug itself and the permanent filter (3) in warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly and replace, fitting the filter-holder into its place and the lid onto the jug.

To clean the inside of the appliance, run a coffee-making cycle twice without adding ground coffee to the filter. To do this, follow the instructions given in the section entitled "Making coffee".

5. MAKING COFFEE

With the appliance unplugged:

• Place the coffeemaker on a flat, stable surface.
• Open the deposit lid (1) and make sure that the deposit is empty. Fill with clean, cold water to the required level. Do not exceed the indicated maximum level mark.
• Fill the filter (3) with the required quantity of ground coffee and close the lid. We recommend one dessertspoon of coffee per cup. After using the coffeemaker a few times, you may wish to adjust the amount of coffee used according to individual taste.
• Make sure the lid of the jug (7) is properly fitted, and place the jug (8) on the heater plate (9). Ensure that the jug lid opens the anti-drip value (6), otherwise the filtered coffee will not drip down into the jug and will overflow from the filter.
• Plug the appliance into the mains and press the start/stop switch (10). The switch pilot light will indicate that the appliance is ON.
  • Water will begin to filter down through

the coffee into the jug. When the filtering process is completed, the heater plate will keep the coffee warm.

• If you wish to pour a cup of coffee before the filtering process has finished, remove the jug from the heater plate, pour and then replace immediately.
• When the jug is empty, turn the start/stop switch off (the pilot light will go out), unplug the appliance leave to cool for 10 minutes before repeating the coffee-making operation or cleaning.

Precautions to be taken while using the appliance

• Do not use warm or hot water. Always use cold water. Do not use any other liquid except water.
• To prevent the water in the filter from overflowing the jug lid should be correctly fitted in order to ensure that the anti-drip value is opened, enabling the water to pass through to the jug.
• Leave the coffeemaker to cool before refilling the deposit. If the deposit is filled while hot, steam may be generated that could cause burns.

Do not move the coffeemaker while in use.

Anti-drip valve

The anti-drip value is located underneath the filter-holder and is activated when the jug is removed from the heater plate. It enables the jug to be removed to pour a cup of coffee during the filtering process. Make sure that the equivalent of at least two cups of coffee has filtered into the jug before removing during the filtering process.

Warning: replace the jug immediately after pouring the cup of coffee to enable the filtering process to continue. If the jug is not returned immediately, the filter may overflow.

Filters

The coffeemaker is supplied with a permanent filter. However, if you prefer disposable filters, use cone filters:

• 1x2 mod CG-806.
• 1x4 mod CG-810, CG-810V, CG-812, CG-1100.

6. HOW TO MAKE A PERFECT CUP OF COFFEE

For an even more delicious taste and aroma, use freshly ground coffee. Use medium, not fine ground coffee. Store coffee in a dry place. Once the packet has been opened, close firmly and store in the refrigerator in order to conserve its aroma. The heater plate will keep the freshly made coffee warm, but it tastes better if drunk immediately after filtering.

7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always leave the appliance to cool before cleaning and make sure that the start/stop switch has been turned off and the coffeemaker unplugged from the mains.

Clean the filter-holder, jug and jug lid in warm soapy water. Rinse well and dry thoroughly before replacing. Clean the outside of the coffeemaker with a damp cloth. Do not use detergent or abrasive cleaning products.

Do not submerge the appliance in water or place under an open tap.

8. DECALCIFICATION

Depending on the hardness of the water in your area and the frequency of use, the appliance's tubes may become obstructed by lime. You will know that this has occurred when the filtering process starts taking longer than normal. To prevent this, you should decalcify your coffeemaker by either using a commercial decalcifying agent specially designed for coffeemakers, or by following the instructions given below:

Fill the jug with a 1/4 vinegar 3/4 water solution.

Pour the solution into the deposit and switch the coffeemaker on. Allow the solution to drip down into the jug.

Repeat this process 2 or 3 times, depending on the extent of calcification.

After the lime has been removed, run an empty filtering process (with water but no coffee) 2 or 3 times to remove any remains of the water/vinegar solution.

We recommend that you decalcify your coffeemaker once every 4 weeks.
