Empty the decanter when the green light (10) is extinguished.
The machine is now ready for use
Remarks
- Some water will always remain in the machine, its hoses, element etc. This must be taken into account when:
- moving the machine;
- the machine is situated in a room where the temperature falls below zero.
- If for any reason no water is left in the machine, you must repeat the above procedure (from step 4 to 10).
WARNING Ensure the flex does not touch the heating plate.
Usage
BREWING COFFEE
- Before using the machine, check whether the spring in the filter pan (5) is positioned correctly (the spring must lie flat on the bottom of the filter pan).
- Place a paper filter (6) in the filter pan.
- Put the required amount of coffee in the filter (see § 1.4 RECOMMENDED AMOUNTS OF COFFEE.
- The enclosed measuring spoon filled with a level amount of coffee contains approx. 40 grammes.
- Slide the filter pan (5) into the machine.
- Check whether the machine is switched off. If not, switch the machine off by setting switch (1) to the off position 0.
- Empty a decanter or measuring jug (TH model) of cold water into the cold water reservoir (8).
- Then place the decanter beneath the filter pan.
- Ensure that the lid of the glass decanter is in the down position.
- The lid of the vacuum flask or airpot on the other hand must be in the up position.
- Keep the mixing tube in the flask when using an airpot.
- Set switch (1) in the on position.
- The indication lamp (10) lights up and the coffee making starts.
- When the coffee making cycle has finished, the indication lamp (10) will go out and an acoustic signal will sound three times to indicate that the coffee can be poured.
- Using the model with glass decanters and more than one heating plate, it is possible to place a decanter filled with coffee on another heating plate and immediately brew another decanter by observing the above procedure.
- Switch on the heating plate by setting the switch (2) to the on position. The heating plate will remain switched on, even if the rest of the system is switched off. Reset the switch to the off position, when the extra heating plate is no longer in use.
BREWING TEA
The machine can also be used to make tea. The system is the same as for brewing coffee except that, instead of using coffee filters and coffee, you place loose tea or tea bags in the filter pan.
- There is a special tea filter pan (with a sieve) available if you want to use loose tea.
- If you use tea bags, simply place these in the filter pan or suspend them in the decanter.
Note! Never use a filter pan that has been used for making coffee.
Remains of the coffee can give the tea an unpleasant taste.
WARNING Some parts of the equipment will become very hot during use.
Cleaning
It is important that the machine and the accessories be kept clean. It is best
to clean the machine with a damp cloth, if necessary with a non-abrasive
and/or corrosive detergent. The glass decanters and the filter pan can be
washed normally and subsequently thoroughly rinsed with water. Vacuum flasks
and airpots can be rinsed with hot water. Our Cleaner is recommended for
removing all coffee and tea deposits.
The cleaning procedure itself is simple:
PRECAUTIONS: Always wear protective gloves when using Cleaner!
CLEANING GLASS DECANTERS AND FILTER PAN
- Dissolve 1 sachet of Cleaner in 5 litres of hot water (min. 80 °C).
- Place the items to be cleaned in the solution. For a good result, the spring must be removed from the filter pan.
- Leave the parts to soak (max. 30 minutes).
- Flush the Cleaner solution away.
- Subsequently rinse the items with a large amount of hot water
- Do not forget to replace the spring in the filter pan.
CLEANING VACUUM FLASKS AND AIRPOTS
- Dissolve Cleaner in hot water (min. 80 °C), approx. 5 g/l.
- Fill the vacuum flask(s) and/or airpot(s) with this Cleaner solution.
- Leave the solution to soak for approx. 30 minutes and then flush it away.
- Rinse the decanters several times with hot water.
Descaling
In hard water areas chalk and limescale will accumulate when the machine is
used. The machine is fitted with a descale indicator that is activated if
scale deposits exceed a certain level. If this descale indicator is activated
(the signalling lamp in the red triangle (9) starts to flash), the scale must
be removed from the machine. Correct operations can otherwise not be
guaranteed. When the red light starts to flash, it is still possible to brew
coffee a couple more times. The operator can then await until a suitable time
to descale the machine.
The descaling procedure is as follows:
- First read the instructions and recommendations on the sachet of the descaling agent. We recommend using our tried and tested Renegite descaling agent.
- Dissolve 100 g Renegite in 1 litre of hot water.
- Slide the empty filter pan (5) into the machine and place an empty decanter beneath it.
- Carefully pour the Renegite solution in the cold water reservoir (8). The lid of the reservoir must be open during descaling activities!
- Switch the machine on using switch (1). The solution will drip into the decanter.
- After 1 minute switch the machine off using switch (1).
- Wait for 2 minutes. The Renegite solution is now given time to perform its task.
- After waiting for 2 minutes the machine must be switched on again to enable the rest of the Renegite solution to run through.
- When Renegite solution is no longer dripping out of the filter pan, the Renegite solution in the decanter can be flushed away.
- Subsequently, the machine must be rinsed with fresh water by running the normal coffee making process twice without using any coffee. Do not forget to empty the decanter between each rinse.
The machine is again ready for making coffee.
PRECAUTIONS
- Remain in the vicinity of the machine during all descaling activities.
- Wear gloves and face protection during all descaling activities.
