Frequently Asked Questions - C15 Avantco

How do I clean the Avantco C15 coffee brewer?

Unplug the appliance. Use a damp cloth for exterior. For interior, run a cycle of water with Klearly Koffee or similar daily. For decanters, use hot water and a brush.

How often should I descale the coffee maker?

At least every 6 months. If water is hard, monthly. Use a mixture of 10 oz lemon juice and 32 oz water, then rinse with plain water cycles.

What type of coffee filter should I use?

Standard paper coffee filter suitable for commercial brewers.

Can I use the brewer for tea?

Yes, but ensure to clean thoroughly after each use to avoid flavor transfer.

What should I do if the brewer overflows?

Immediately turn off the power switch and allow the unit to cool. Check for overfilling or blockages in the funnel.

How much coffee grounds should I use?

The manual does not specify the amount; adjust to taste and brew strength. Typically 2 tablespoons per 6 oz of water.

Is the Avantco C15 suitable for home use?

It is designed for commercial use only, but can be used at home if space and electrical compatibility allow.

What is the power cord length?

The replacement power cord is 51 inches long.

Why does the indicator light turn off before brewing is complete?

The readiness indicator turns off when the brew cycle ends. If it turns off prematurely, deliming may be necessary to remove mineral buildup.

Can I leave water in the reservoir?

For short periods yes, but for extended non-use, empty and clean the machine to prevent buildup. Always pour out remaining water before storage.

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 or airport under the funnel.
3. Fill the brewer's reservoir with water (approximately 75 ounces).
4. Turn the power switch to "ON". The Readiness Indicator should light. After approximately 2 minutes, the machine will begin brewing.
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 airport or 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 177C10 to prevent overflow.

b. The Readiness Indicator should light up and brewed coffee will start flowing into the airport or 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 decanter.

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.

User Manual

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.

Klearly 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 deliming 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.
