• If coffee grounds clog the Drip Prevention Valve, it may not seal properly and coffee may leak.
Be sure to wash it after each use.
• Be sure to fully drain water from the Filter Basket. Otherwise, this water may drip into your
coffee during brewing.
• Exercise care as pulling or forcibly twisting the Drip Prevention Valve may cause it to come off.
• Do not immerse the Filter Basket in water. Doing so may cause water to collect in spaces inside the part, resulting in
rust or causing its shape to deform.
•
Do not disassemble the Drip Prevention Valve.
If the Drip Prevention Valve Gasket comes off, insert the Drip Prevention
Valve with Spring into the Filter Basket. Attach the Drip Prevention Valve
Gasket to the Groove while pressing up on the Drip Prevention Valve to hold
in place.
• Be sure that the Drip Prevention Valve Gasket
is attached securely.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE (com.)
If hot water does not dispense smoothly, clean using citric acid.
Minerals contained in water may build up inside the pipes and other parts with use.
If m ine rals a ccum ula te, ho t w ate r may n o t dispense sm oothly, th e am ount o f
co ffe e brewed m ay be reduced, o r h o t w ate r may lea k fro m gaps in th e Main Body.
• Remove any mineral buildup by cleaning with citric acid. (See “ How to Perform Citric Acid
Cleaning” below.)
• Perform citric acid cleaning about every 4 weeks of usage.
The cleaning interval depends on your water quality. If your area has water that’s high in mineral
content or if you use mineral water, the product will be more susceptible to mineral buildup.
How to Perform Citric Acid Cleaning
© Put 1 package of the Citric Acid Cleaner CD-K03E-JU in the Glass Carafe and add a cup of
warm water to dissolve.
© Add water to the “HOT 12” Water Fill Line on the Glass Carafe, mix thoroughly, and pour the
resulting citric acid solution into the Water Tank.
® Attach the Filter Basket and Shower Head to the Main Body (without any paper filter) and place
the Glass Carafe (with Carafe Lid) onto the Warming Plate.
© Turn on the Switch (to start running the solution through the product).
© Once the citric acid solution falls to the “4” line on the Water Tank, turn off the Switch.
© Pour the citric acid solution that’s been run through the product into a different container, cool
it, and remove any white crystals or other matter in the solution.
© Allow the Main Body to cool for at least 5 minutes.
© Pour the citric acid solution from © back into the Water Tank and repeat
0
through @ until the
solution no longer contains white crystals or other matter. (Finally, turn off the Switch once the
citric acid solution is no longer coming out of the Filter Basket.)
© After allowing the Main Body and Warming Plate to cool sufficiently, rinse the Glass Carafe and
then run water through the product several times to eliminate any citric acid odor.
(When brewing more than one pot of water, wait at least 5 minutes after the Switch turns off
before starting the next brewing cycle.)
® Turn off the Switch and unplug the Power Plug from the electrical outlet.
•
In order to prevent gas bubbles and bubbling-over,
the Citric Acid Cleaner for Electric Water Boilers
(CD-K03E-JU) is recommended for cleaning.
(Available separately) -►P.15
Citric acid (100%) is used as a food additive and is
harmless from a food sanitation standpoint, but do
not consume it.
• If hot water does not dispense smoothly,
perform citric acid cleaning again.
