2. Neteja inicial: Before first use, wash the thermal carafe, its lid, and the filter holder in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Wipe the exterior of the coffeemaker with a damp tela.
3. Primer cicle d'elaboració (netja):
   • Ompliu el dipòsit d'aigua amb aigua fresca i freda fins a la marca de 10 tasses.
   • Place the empty thermal carafe with its lid on the warming plate.
   • No afegiu cafè mòlt per a aquest cicle.
   • Turn on the coffeemaker and allow it to complete a full brewing cycle.
   • Discard the hot water from the carafe. This process cleans the internal components and removes any manufacturing residues.
4. Setting the Clock (Optional): If your model includes a programmable clock, refer to the operating section for instructions on setting the time.

Instruccions de funcionament

1. Omplir el dipòsit d'aigua: Open the lid of the water reservoir and fill it with the desired amount of fresh, cold water. The water level indicator on the side will guide you. Close the lid securely.
2. Afegeix el marc de cafè: Swing out the filter holder. Place a standard basket-style paper filter or the reusable filter (if included) into the filter holder. Add the desired amount of ground coffee. A general guideline is one tablespoon of coffee per cup, but adjust to your taste. Swing the filter holder back into place until it clicks.
3. Posició de la garrafa: Ensure the thermal carafe, with its lid properly attached, is placed firmly on the warming plate.
4. Comença a fer cervesa:
   • Immediate Brew: Press the ON/OFF switch to start the brewing process. The indicator light will illuminate.
   • Programmable Brew (24-hour clock/timer): Set the desired brew time using the programmable clock/timer. Refer to the specific buttons on your control panel for "Program" or "Timer" settings. Once set, activate the timer function. The coffeemaker will automatically start brewing at the programmed time.
5. Procés d'elaboració: The coffeemaker will begin brewing. The unique Aroma Control system steeps the ground coffee for nearly 2 minutes at the beginning of the cycle to extract maximum flavor.
6. Pausa i serveix: The drip-free pour spout allows you to remove the carafe for a quick pour during the brewing cycle (for up to 20 seconds) without drips. Replace the carafe promptly to avoid overflow.
7. Després de la cervesa: Once the brewing cycle is complete, the coffeemaker will automatically shut off. For best results and to keep coffee hot for hours, remove the thermal carafe from the base immediately after brewing is finished. This seals the carafe and locks in heat and flavor.

Manteniment i Neteja

Una neteja regular garanteix un rendiment òptim i allarga la vida útil de la teva cafetera.

Neteja diària:

• Desendolla sempre la cafetera abans de netejar-la.
• Wash the thermal carafe, its lid, and the filter holder in warm, soapy water after each use. Rinse thoroughly and dry. These parts are generally top-rack dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended for longevity.

Descalcificació (eliminació de dipòsits minerals):

Mineral deposits (calcium) can build up in your coffeemaker over time, affecting its performance. Descale regularly, depending on the hardness of your water and frequency of use (e.g., every 2-4 weeks).

1. Prepare a descaling solution: Mix 2-4 tablespoons of white vinegar with a full carafe of cold water, or use a commercial descaling agent designed for coffeemakers following its instructions.
2. Aboqueu la solució al dipòsit d'aigua.
3. Place the empty thermal carafe with its lid on the warming plate.

5. Turn the coffeemaker back on and allow the remaining solution to brew through.
6. Discard the solution from the carafe.
7. Rinse Cycle: Fill the water reservoir with fresh, cold water and run at least two full brewing cycles with only water to rinse out any remaining descaling solution. Discard the water after each cycle.
