USING THE COFFEEMAKER
First let the water circulate through the PRINCESS ROYAL TWIN COMPACT coffeemaker without
adding any coffee, in order to cleanse the system. Afterwards, rinse the pot and the filter holder.
Fill the reservoir with water, put in a filter (size 1x2) and ground coffee in the filter holder. Place the pot
on the hotplate and switch the PRINCESS ROYAL TWIN COMPACT on. Use approx. three full
measures of coffee for a full pot of water. This will produce a medium coffee.
NOTE: After making coffee, wait at least 5 minutes before making another pot, in order to let the
appliance cool off.
KEEPING WARM
The coffee stays warm as long as the PRINCESS ROYAL TWIN COMPACT coffeemaker is switched on.
CLEANING
FIRST UNPLUG THE CORD FROM THE SOCKET
Rinse the glass pot and the filter holder. These parts are not dishwasher-safe. The outside of the
PRINCESS ROYAL TWIN COMPACT can be wiped down with a damp cloth.
DESCALING
Regular descaling will help prolong the life of the PRINCESS ROYAL TWIN COMPACT. It is a good
idea to descale around once a month. If the local water supply is especially hard, twice a month is
recommended. Hard water is more than 20* DH (a German scale used to measure water hardness). Your
water company can tell you the degree of hardness. You should immediately descale when the appliance:
- Makes gurgling noises;
- Takes longer than usual to brew;
- Still has water in the reservoir after brewing.
Nearly all commercially available descaling products are appropriate for use. The instructions on most
products indicate whether they are suitable. Never use any product containing hydrochloric or sulphuric
acid. These are not suitable for descaling.
To descale, proceed as follows:
- First allow the appliance to cool down sufficiently.
- Fill the reservoir with cold water.
- Add the amount of descaling agent indicated on the package.
- Place a filter paper in the permanent filter, not forgetting to put the pot in place.
- Switch on the appliance.
- Once about 2 cups have flowed through, switch off the appliance and let it stand for half
an hour to allow the descaling agent to work.
- Switch on the appliance again. After all of the water with descaling agent has flowed
through, brew clean water through it three times to rinse away any remaining traces of
descaling agent.
