3. Configurazione e primo utilizzo

Before using your Gevi GECMD008-U coffee maker for the first time, it is essential to clean all removable parts and run a brewing cycle with only water to remove any manufacturing residues.

Pulizia iniziale:

1. Remove the carafe, filter basket, and reusable filter. Wash them in warm, soapy water, then rinse thoroughly.
2. Pulisci l'esterno della caffettiera con un panno damp stoffa. Non immergere l'unità in acqua.

Primo ciclo di infusione (solo acqua):

2. Pour the water into the water tank, ensuring not to exceed the MAX line.
3. Place the empty carafe back on the warming plate.
4. Premere l'interruttore ON/OFF per avviare il ciclo di erogazione.

4. Istruzioni per l'uso

Follow these steps to brew a perfect cup of coffee with your Gevi GECMD008-U coffee maker:

1. Riempire l'acqua: Use the carafe to measure the desired amount of clean water (up to 4 cups). Pour the water into the water tank. Do not exceed the MAX line indicated on the side of the tank.
2. Aggiungi fondi di caffè: Place the reusable filter into the filter basket. For optimal flavor, use medium-ground coffee. A general recommendation is 10g of coffee powder (around 2 flat spoons) per 1-cup serving. Do not exceed 40g total.

Mineral deposits from water can build up over time, affecting performance. Descale your coffee maker regularly.

3. Posizionare la caraffa vuota sulla piastra riscaldante.
4. Run a full brewing cycle with the descaling solution.

7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

If you encounter issues with your Gevi GECMD008-U coffee maker, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Coffee Brews Less Than Water Added: It is normal for the final coffee volume to be slightly less than the water added to the tank. This is because some water is absorbed by the coffee grounds during the brewing process. To achieve a full 3 cups of coffee, you may need to add slightly more water (e.g., 3.5 cups) to compensate for absorption. However, never exceed the 4-cup MAX line.
• Water Leaks from the Back: If you add water beyond the 4-cup MAX line, excess water will exit through a safety overflow hole located at the back of the water tank. This is a safety feature, not a defect. Always adhere to the MAX fill line.
• Funzionamento rumoroso: Some noise during brewing is normal, especially as the water tank empties. This is due to the movement of water and steam within the system.
• Coffee Tastes Weak or Bitter: Ensure you are using the recommended medium-ground coffee and the correct coffee-to-water ratio (10g powder per 150-160ml water). Also, avoid keeping coffee on the warming plate for extended periods, as this can alter its flavor.
