INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
Step 1: Plug In
Place appliance on a level surface and plug machine into a wall socket.
Step 2: Prep
Fill the tank with cold water to the maximum capacity of 8 cups and switch the
appliance to the “I” position to allow water to run through into glass CHEMEX®
carafe (no coffee).
Step 3: Prep Cooldown
Allow appliance to cool down for 5 minutes before repeating process. Do
this at least two times before brewing with coffee.
Water measurements Use either the cup
measurements on the water tank on the Ottomatic®, or the glass CHEMEX® carafe
to measure your water. Be sure not to exceed the capacity of your glass carafe
(30oz / 887ml for 6 cup, 40oz / 1.1L for 8 cup).
Step 4
Get into the grind Grind your favorite whole bean coffee to a medium coarse
ground.
Step 5
The Brew clip The brew clip provides an additional air channel to prevent slow
flow rate. Place the “brew clip” on glass CHEMEX® carafe, opposite side of the
pouring spout.
Step 6: Filter up
Open a CHEMEX® Bonded Coffee Filter into a cone shape so that one side of the
cone has three layers, and place it into the top of the brewer. The thick
three- layer portion should cover the pouring spout.
Step 7: The scoop
One rounded tablespoon of ground coffee for every 5oz/147ml cup into the filter
cone. Feel free to use more if you prefer it stronger; our CHEMEX® brewing
process eliminates bitterness.
Brewing with Hot Plate Activated
Set switch to single line “I”. A solid red light will appear below the word
“CHEMEX®” found on the base plate. It will remain on throughout the brew
process.
Upon completion of the brew process, the red light will change to a solid white light. Leave glass CHEMEX® carafe in place for another minute or two to allow for all water to filter through. Remove filter, enjoy!
Hot Plate automatically shuts off after 90 minutes, this is indicated by the white light blinking. Hot Plate can be reactivated for another 90 minutes by moving the switch to the “O” position and then back to the single line “I” position. The white light will become solid again.
Brewing with Hot Plate Deactivated
(This method can be used to make Iced beverages): Set switch to double line
“II” A solid red light will appear below the word “CHEMEX®” found on the base
plate. It will remain on throughout the brew process.
Upon completion of the brew process, the red light will change to a blinking white light. Leave glass CHEMEX® carafe in place for another minute or two to allow for all water to filter through. Remove filter, enjoy!
Final Step: Enjoy the perfect cup
Pour your freshly made coffee into your CHEMEX® mug and indulge in the flavor.
Tips
- Solid White Light = Hot Plate on
- Blinking White Light = Hot Plate off
- Solid Red Light = Brew in process
- If the unit is switched to either the “I” or
- “II” position, putting water in the tank will begin the brew process again.
- Be sure to use a medium-coarse grind.
- If the grind is too fine, the water will not filter through fast enough.
- Be sure that the appliance is on a level surface, otherwise the water may not release from all of the holes in the shower head.
- Be sure that any outlet, or “smart plugs” the appliance is plugged into are able to withstand 1100 Watts.
- When making iced beverages, use recipes that specify the amount of ice and water to be used. There will be less water put in the tank because the ice that melts during the brewing process makes up for it.
- CHEMEX® measurements for cup size is 5 ounces / 147ml.
- There may be some residual water left in the bottom of the tank or condensation which appears on the sides. Simply use a cloth to soak the water up or wipe the sides.
- We cannot guarantee the successful use of the CHEMEX® Ottomatic® if it is used with any non CHEMEX® products such as plastic, metal or cloth filters.
- The holding temperature of the coffee while the Hot Plate is activated is 165-170 degrees Fahrenheit or 73-65 degrees Celsius.
- The largest glass CHEMEX® carafe that can be used in the Ottomatic® is the 8 cup Classic or 8 cup Glass Handle series.
- The CHEMEX® Ottomatic® is BPA free and FDA-approved.
Basic Cleaning
- The glass CHEMEX® carafe should be cleaned using warm soap and water, or placing it securely in the dishwasher. Be sure to remove the wooden collar and rawhide before any cleaning.
- The appliance exterior as well as the tank interior can be wiped down with a warm wet cloth. Be sure that the appliance is unplugged before any cleaning.
Descaling
- To “descale” (remove calcium buildup in the appliance), please use the “Coffeemaker Cleaning” solution provided in the package. It is recommended to descale a minimum of every three months.
- Fill water tank to the 8 cup level and add in the solution.
- Run the brew cycle to fully flush the descaling solution from the appliance.
- Run an additional two brew cycles using only water.
