Frequently Asked Questions - CM 6964 K Arçelik

How do I descale my Arçelik CM 6964 K coffee maker?

Descaling is essential to remove mineral buildup. Use a descaling solution or a mixture of vinegar and water (ratio 1:2). Run the solution through a brewing cycle, then flush with clean water twice. Repeat every 2-3 months.

Why is my coffee maker leaking water?

Check if the water tank lid is properly sealed, the carafe is correctly placed, or the drip tray is not overfilled. Also inspect for cracks in the tank or hose connections.

How do I clean the filter basket?

Remove the filter basket and wash it with warm soapy water. For stubborn stains, use a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry before reassembly. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

What type of coffee grounds should I use?

Use medium-grind coffee for drip coffee makers. Avoid too fine a grind as it can clog the filter, and too coarse may result in weak coffee.

How do I replace the permanent filter?

The permanent filter is reusable and does not need replacement unless damaged. To replace, order a new one from Arçelik spare parts. Simply remove the old filter and snap in the new one.

Why is my coffee weak or not hot enough?

Weak coffee: use more grounds or a finer grind. Not hot: ensure the carafe is clean, the heating element is not scaled, and the machine is preheated. Also, the keep-warm plate may need time.

How do I set the auto shut-off timer?

The auto shut-off is integrated and activates after 2 hours of inactivity. It cannot be adjusted on this model. To conserve energy, turn off manually after use.

Can I use the coffee maker without a paper filter?

Yes, the included permanent filter eliminates the need for paper filters. Simply rinse after each use. However, paper filters can be used for a cleaner taste.

What do the indicator lights mean?

A red light may indicate descaling needed or power on. Check the manual: typically, solid green = ready, blinking = brewing, red = descaling alert.

How do I clean the carafe?

Wash the carafe with warm soapy water using a soft sponge. For coffee stains, fill with a mixture of baking soda and water, let sit, then rinse. Do not immerse in water.
