HELPFUL TIPS

BREWING SLOWLY / NOT BREWING
If your RETRO SERIES™ 12-CUP COFFEE MAKER is brewing slowly or not
at all, the coffee maker likely needs cleaning. Following the steps under
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE to clean your coffee maker.
Check to be sure your coffee maker is plugged in and that
the Water Tank has been filled with cold water.
Lastly, to avoid the buildup of mineral deposits that slow the drip of your coffee maker, it
is recommened to use distilled water when brewing coffee. Over time, minerals,such as
calcium and limestone will leave deposits in your coffee maker and affect its performance.
COFFEE TASTES BAD
A clean coffee maker is essential for making great-tasting coffee. Regularly
clean your coffee maker as specified under CLEANING & MAINTENANCE.
For optimum coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and finely grind
them just before brewing. Pre-ground coffee grounds should
be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
GROUNDS ARE IN THE COFFEE
Be sure that you are using the correct type of coffee filter. This coffee
maker requires the use of #4 size cone-shape coffee filters.
Check that the coffee filter has not collapsed and is properly seated in the Filter
Basket. If coffee filter is not properly seated in the Filter Basket, coffee grounds
may spill over the lip of the coffee filter and into the brewed coffee.
