Frequently Asked Questions - KM25 Salton

How much water can the tank hold?

The water tank holds up to 1.2 liters, which allows brewing about 10 cups of coffee.

What type of filter does the KM25 use?

It uses #4 cone paper filters or the included permanent basket. Always use the correct size.

Can I make coffee without a paper filter?

Yes, the coffee maker includes a reusable permanent filter basket. Simply rinse it after use.

How do I descale the coffee maker?

Mix equal parts water and white vinegar, fill the tank, and run a brew cycle without coffee grounds. Then run two cycles with fresh water to rinse.

Why does the coffee maker turn off by itself?

The auto shut-off function turns off the heating plate after 2 hours for safety. This is normal.

Can I pour coffee while it is brewing?

Yes, the pause & serve feature allows you to remove the carafe for up to 30 seconds without major drips. Return it quickly.

What should I do if the coffee tastes bitter?

Possible causes: over-extraction (too fine grind or too much coffee), or a dirty machine. Try a coarser grind and clean the carafe and basket.

How often should I clean the coffee maker?

Clean the carafe and filter basket after each use. Descale every 40 brew cycles or monthly, depending on water hardness.

Is the carafe dishwasher safe?

The glass carafe is top-rack dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to preserve clarity. The lid is not dishwasher safe.

Where can I find replacement parts?

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

INTRODUCTION

The Salton Pro-Mixer is an advanced mixing system that uses twin motor, 3-way beating action. One motor is located in the Hand Mixer and powers the individual beaters, turning each in the opposite direction. One of 10 speeds can be used.

The other motor, located in the Base, drives the bowl at High or Low speed. Together this 3-way action provides more powerful and uniform mixing results.

Important: Please read these instructions before using your Salton Pro-Mixer and keep in a safe place for future reference.

Bowl Speed Dial: For optimum mixing, adjust the speed of the Bowl rotation by selecting either LO (low speed) or HI (high speed) as required. In position '0' (Off), the bowl does not rotate. NOTE: It is best to begin with the Bowl speed set at LO to ensure that light ingredients stay inside the Bowl.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Unpack and remove all parts and packaging materials from the carton.
2. DO NOT plug the power cord into any outlet before reading these instructions and ensuring that the 5-Speed Switch and Bowl Speed Dial are both set to '0' (Off).

HOW TO ASSEMBLE/DISASSEMBLE

The Salton Pro-Mixer can be used as a stand mixer (Ill. 1) or hand mixer (Ill.2). Before assembling or disassembling make sure the power cord is unplugged and the speed control is at '0' on the Mixer and Bowl Speed is on 'Off'.

To connect the Hand Mixer to the Mixer Head

Position the rectangular holes in the back of the Hand Mixer over the 2 retaining prongs in the Mixer Head. Press down on the Hand Mixer until it clicks (locks) into place (Ill. 4). The Mixer Head is still in the raised position. To lower, press and hold the Tilt Button while gently lowering the Hand Mixer down fully until it clicks into position (Ill. 5).

To disconnect the Hand Mixer from the Mixer Head

Raise the Mixer Head into the tilt position as described above. Once the Mixer Head is in the tilt position you can remove the Hand Mixer by pressing the Hand Mixer Release Button and sliding the Hand Mixer up and away from the Mixer Head.

To install the Bowl

Place the bottom of the Bowl on the turntable in the Base. Turn the Bowl clockwise until it locks into position with a click.

To remove the Bowl

Turn the Bowl counter-clockwise and lift away from the Base.

Inserting the Beaters

Insert the notched end of either beater into either Attachment Socket. Twist in a counter-clockwise direction while pushing to position the beater notch properly in the socket. The beater should locate firmly in the socket with a noticeable click. Repeat with the other beater.

Inserting the Dough Hooks

The Dough Hook with the red plastic spacer should be positioned in the socket on the right side of the Mixer. (NOTE: The inside of the socket has a red plastic insert.) Insert the other Dough Hook into the left socket. Twist counter-clock-wise until it clicks into position.

Removing the Beaters or Dough Hooks

With the Power Cord unplugged, tilt the Mixer Head back and loosely grasp the spindles of the attachments. Press the Eject Button and the attachments will be released into your hand.
