Programming the Brewing Time
Programming your Beautiful coffee maker for automatic brewing is simple and convenient. Access the programming menu via the touch-activated display. Use the intuitive controls to select your desired brew time, setting it to start at your preferred time of day. The display clearly shows the selected time, allowing for easy verification before confirmation. The coffee maker utilizes a 24-hour clock format for precise scheduling, ensuring your coffee is ready exactly when you want it. Once programmed, the machine will automatically begin brewing at the designated time, delivering a fresh pot of coffee without requiring manual intervention.

Utilizing the Keep Warm Function
The Beautiful coffee maker includes a convenient keep-warm function to maintain your brewed coffee at the ideal temperature for an extended period. Activate this feature using the designated button on the control panel; the keep-warm indicator light will illuminate, confirming activation. The default keep-warm duration is two hours, but this can be customized to your preference. To adjust the keep-warm time, press the designated button repeatedly; the duration increases in 30-minute increments, ranging from zero to four hours. Once your desired time is selected, press the program button to confirm the setting; a beep will sound, indicating confirmation. The coffee maker will maintain the coffee’s temperature within this set timeframe, ensuring your coffee remains enjoyable even after the initial brewing cycle is complete. Note that keeping coffee warm for extended periods may subtly alter its taste; for optimal flavor, consume your coffee as soon as possible after brewing. While the keep-warm function is useful, it’s advisable to avoid excessively long durations to maintain the best possible taste and aroma.
Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions
Regular cleaning is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of your Beautiful coffee maker. After each use, allow the coffee maker to cool completely before cleaning. Unplug the appliance from the power outlet. Rinse the carafe and lid with warm, soapy water; ensure thorough rinsing to remove any coffee residue. The filter basket should be cleaned similarly. For the coffee maker’s exterior, use a damp cloth to wipe away any spills or stains. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface. Periodically, perform a more thorough cleaning by using a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar. Fill the reservoir with this solution, run a brewing cycle, and then run a second cycle with just plain water to rinse. This helps remove mineral deposits and prevent build-up. Always refer to the specific cleaning instructions in your user manual. Regular maintenance, including these cleaning steps, ensures your Beautiful coffee maker continues to provide delicious coffee for years to come. Remember to always unplug the appliance before cleaning for safety.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Should your Beautiful coffee maker malfunction, consult this troubleshooting guide. If the coffee maker fails to power on, check the power cord connection and ensure the outlet is functioning. A weak brew might indicate insufficient coffee grounds or incorrect water-to-grounds ratio; adjust accordingly. If the coffee is too hot, consider reducing the brewing time or allowing it to cool slightly before serving. For inconsistent brewing temperatures, ensure the water reservoir is adequately filled and the machine is not overheating. If the coffee maker leaks, check the carafe and filter basket for any cracks or damage and ensure they are properly seated; If the display is unresponsive, try resetting the machine by unplugging it for a few minutes. Persistent issues that are not resolved with these simple steps should prompt contacting customer support. Remember to consult your user manual for more detailed troubleshooting information. Proper maintenance and careful operation significantly reduce the likelihood of encountering problems. If you need assistance beyond this guide, contact customer support for further help.
Using Different Coffee Grounds and Filters
Experiment with various coffee grounds to personalize your brewing experience. The Beautiful coffee maker accommodates both fine and coarse grinds, but for optimal extraction, a medium grind is generally recommended. Using a finer grind might result in over-extraction and a bitter taste, while a coarser grind may lead to under-extraction and a weak brew. The ideal grind size often depends on personal preference and the type of coffee beans used. Regarding filters, the coffee maker includes a permanent gold-tone filter basket, offering a sustainable and cost-effective option. However, paper filters are also compatible and provide a convenient alternative for those who prefer them. When using paper filters, ensure they are properly fitted to prevent coffee grounds from escaping into the carafe. Remember that different filter types might subtly affect the taste and clarity of your brewed coffee. Experimentation will help you discover your preferred combination of coffee grounds and filter for the most delightful cup.
