Frequently Asked Questions - C30 Avantco

How do I descale my Avantco C30 coffee maker?

Mix equal parts white vinegar and water and fill the reservoir. Run a brew cycle, then let it sit for 30 minutes. Run two more cycles with fresh water to rinse. Repeat every 3 months.

Why does my coffee taste bitter?

Bitter coffee can result from over-extraction (too fine grind, too much coffee, or water too hot), dirty machine, or old coffee grounds. Use a medium grind, clean regularly, and store coffee in an airtight container.

How do I clean the coffee maker?

Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Remove and wash the carafe and filter basket with warm soapy water. Run a cycle with vinegar water monthly and a fresh water cycle after.

Can I use tap water?

Yes, but for best taste and to reduce mineral buildup, use filtered or bottled water. Hard water may cause scaling; descale more frequently.

Why does my coffee maker stop brewing mid-cycle?

This may be due to mineral buildup blocking the water flow, overfilled reservoir, or a malfunction. Descale the machine and ensure the reservoir is not overfilled. If persists, contact support.

How do I set the programmable timer?

Press the Program button, then use the hour and minute buttons to set the desired brew time. Press Set to confirm. Ensure the clock is set to the correct time. Then press Timer to activate.

Why does my coffee maker leak water?

Leaks can occur if the water reservoir is not seated properly, the carafe is not placed correctly, or the valve is clogged. Check alignments and clean the area. If the carafe is cracked, replace it.

How do I replace the charcoal filter?

The Avantco C30 uses a #4 cone paper filter or a permanent basket. For charcoal filters (if applicable), replace every 60 uses or 2 months. Remove old filter, rinse new one under cold water for 15 seconds, and place in holder.

Can I make less than a full pot?

Yes, you can brew any amount between 2 and 12 cups. For smaller batches, use the 1-4 cup setting if available, which slows the brewing process for optimal extraction.

What is the warranty on the Avantco C30?

The Avantco C30 comes with a 1-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Proof of purchase is required. Warranty does not cover damage from misuse or normal wear.

• This appliance must be placed on a level surface able to adequately support its weight.
• Users should not leave the appliance unattended while it is in operation.
• Never immerse the appliance in water.
• Never pour hot water, coffee, or coffee powder into the water reservoir.
• Do not overfill the water reservoir.
• Do not unplug the appliance if your hands are wet.
• Do not unplug the appliance by pulling the cord.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace the power cord if it becomes damaged. Contact a qualified service agent.
• Be careful not to touch any hot surfaces.

- While the appliance is in use, some parts will become very hot. Ensure that the cord does not come in contact with any hot parts.

Installation

Carefully unpack the coffee brewer and inspect for damage and missing parts.

1. Position the brewer on a sturdy, level surface. Allow enough room above it for safe and easy filling of the water reservoir.
2. Place an empty glass decanter under the funnel.
3. Fill the water reservoir with the appropriate amount of water. Wait 2 minutes for any air trapped in the machine to be released before proceeding to step 4.
4. Turn the power switch to "ON". The Readiness Indicator should light.
5. After 4-5 minutes, the Readiness Indicator should turn off, indicating that the brewing process has ended.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 twice to clean the machine's internal parts before brewing coffee for the first time.

NOTE: It is normal to hear some brewing and pumping sounds and to see water vapor coming out of the machine during this procedure.

In case of overflow, turn the power switch "OFF" immediately to stop the process.

Operation

1. Remove the funnel, and insert a paper coffee filter. Add the appropriate amount of coffee grounds. Return the funnel to its correct position.
2. Make sure the empty decanter is positioned correctly under the funnel.
3. Fill the water reservoir, and turn the brewer "ON".

a. Note: Do not add more than 1 decanter (64 oz.) of water to C30 to prevent overflow.

b. The Readiness Indicator should light up and brewed coffee will start flowing into the decanter. When the Readiness Indicator light turns off, the brewing cycle is complete.

CAUTION: To prevent spills or burns, wait until coffee has stopped dripping from the funnel before removing it.

1. Dispose of the used coffee grounds and coffee filter and rinse the funnel with clean water. The unit is now ready to brew another batch.

CAUTION: Do not leave empty decanters on the hot plates as this can damage the unit as well as the decanters.

NOTE: After the first use, a small amount of water will always remain in the machine. If it will not be used for an extended period, you should always pour out the remaining water and clean the machine to prepare it for storage or transport.

Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures long life. For dirt or smudges on the brewer's exterior, a damp cloth will suffice. If necessary, a non-corrosive, non-abrasive detergent or cleaner may be used. Be sure to unplug the appliance before cleaning.

Clearly Koffee is a simple, easy-to-use product that should be used daily to remove or prevent oil residue and mineral build-up, which turns rancid, causing bitter tasting coffee or tea.

Directions for Cleaning Glass Decanters

Use daily for best results.

1) Shake bottle. Apply 3-4 squirts (approx. 1/4 oz. Per 1 gal. of liquid) Klearly Koffee into the decanters (not included). Add very hot water (not boiling).

2) Use a carafe brush for best results on tough stains.

3) Empty solution and rinse vessel thoroughly with clean, warm water. Air dry or wipe clean before next use.

The Importance of Deliming

To prolong your coffee brewer's life and maintain a consistent, quality product, regular deliming is recommended. When hard water is heated, minerals are left behind which can inhibit optimum performance. You should perform the following deliming process at least every 6 months. If your water is extremely hard, monthly deliming is recommended.

Deliming Procedure

• Mix 10 oz. of fresh or condensed lemon juice with 32 oz. of water and pour it into the water reservoir.
• Make sure an empty decanter is underneath the funnel, and turn the unit "ON" as if you are brewing a pot of coffee.
• If the brewer has stopped working, the use of a delimming spring (sold separately) may be necessary to loosen lime deposits in the spray head.
• After the brewer has completed its cycle, turn it "OFF" and empty the decanter.
• Run two or three brewing cycles of plain water through the machine to rinse out all traces of the lemon water solution before brewing more coffee.

If the brewer suddenly stops working during a normal brewing cycle, deliming may be necessary.
