ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS
Sneak-A-Cup®
The Sneak-A-Cup® feature allows you to pour a cup of coffee
when the brewing is still in progress. When you remove the
jug from the appliance, coffee stops dripping from the spout.
To continue brewing, simply replace the pot on the hotplate
within 30 seconds.

BREWING TIPS
Stir the coffee in the jug to get the full avour.
●
If you sneak a cup of coffee when brewing is still in
●
progress, it may have different intensity of avour than
the coffee available after the entire process has been
completed.
If you are not sure how much coffee you should add,
●
start with one spoon of medium ground coffee.
Never reuse paper lters. Paper may absorb the smell
●
of coffee and cause your coffee to smell musty in
subsequent brewing. Paper lters may become damaged
during use, letting coffee grounds pass into the freshly
brewed coffee.
Once opened, store your coffee bag in an airtight
●
container away from direct sunlight. It is best to grind the
coffee right before brewing.
If you leave the jug containing coffee on the hotplate,
●
remove coffee grounds from the lter holder as soon as
they have cooled to avoid bitter aftertaste.
If you want your coffee to have a special avour, avoid
●
using avoured or packed coffee. It is recommended to
buy avouring syrup and add it directly to freshly ground
coffee right before adding milk, cream or sugar.
Rinse the jug and lter holder with warm water
●
immediately after use. This will help to preserve good
taste of your coffee in subsequent brewings.
Keep the appliance clean at all times. Failure to clean
●
your appliance may affect the taste of coffee.
When making ice coffee, brew double-strength coffee
●
using twice the amount of ground coffee you normally
use. Adding ice to the coffee will reduce its strength.
Cleaning and maintenance

After each brewing, discard the paper lter together with
●
the grounds or clean the permanent lter.

DESCALING
Build-up of mineral deposits is a natural process occuring in
all appliances which heat water. Therefore, the coffee maker
will need periodic descaling. It is recommended to descale
the appliance every 4 6 months, depending on how often you
use it.
DESCALING SOLUTIONS
The following agents are normally used for removing mineral
deposits from the coffee maker:
Vinegar solution
●
Fill the water tank with the following solution: 1/3 of vinegar,
2/3 of water.
Citric acid solution.
●
Dissolve one sachet of citric acid in 0.5 litre of water.
Special liquids or tablets.
