Güvenlik Bilgileri

• Always ensure the coffeemaker is placed on a stable, level surface during use.
• When using on a gas stove, adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the base of the pot to prevent damage to the handle.
• Dikkat: Never use contents other than coffee, such as teas, cacao powder, instant coffee, or fine ground coffee, as these can clog the filter plate and cause malfunction.
• Do not overfill the water chamber. Water should be filled to just below the safety valve. Overfilling can lead to boiled coffee with a bitter or burnt taste.
• The coffeemaker becomes hot during operation. Use the handle for pouring and allow it to cool before disassembling or cleaning.
• Çocukların erişemeyeceği yerde saklayınız.

2. Filtreleme Hunisi: Sits inside the water chamber and holds the ground coffee.
3. Top Section (Collection Chamber): The upper part where brewed coffee collects. It includes the filter plate and gasket.

Before first use, disassemble the coffee maker and wash all parts with warm water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly. It is recommended to brew 2-3 batches of coffee and discard them to season the pot and remove any manufacturing residues.

1. Unscrew the top section from the base.
2. Remove the filter funnel from the base.
3. Ensure the filter plate and rubber gasket are correctly seated in the top section.

Kullanım Talimatları

Follow these steps to brew a perfect cup of espresso:

1. Tabanı suyla doldurun: Fill the lower chamber (base) with cold water up to just below the safety valve. Do not exceed the safety valve level.
2. Insert the Filter Funnel: Place the filter funnel into the base.
3. Öğütülmüş Kahve Ekleyin: Loosely fill the filter funnel with espresso ground coffee. Do not press or tamp the coffee down. Ensure no coffee grounds are on the rim of the base.
4. Screw on the Top Section: Screw the top section firmly onto the base. Ensure a tight seal to prevent steam from escaping.
5. Ocağın üzerine yerleştirin: Place the coffeemaker on a low to medium heat source. If using a gas stove, ensure the flame does not extend beyond the base.
6. Demleme İşlemi: Water in the base will heat and rise through the coffee grounds into the top chamber. This process typically takes 3-6 minutes, depending on the coffeemaker size and heat intensity.
7. Sert: Once the top chamber is filled with brewed coffee, remove the coffeemaker from the heat and serve immediately.

Temizlik ve Bakım

• Günlük Temizlik: After each use, allow the coffeemaker to cool completely. Disassemble all parts and wash with warm water. For best results and to preserve the coffee flavor, avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive materials.
• Bulaşık Makinesinde Yıkanabilir: The Bialetti Kitty Espresso Coffee Maker is dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning.
• Conta ve Filtre: Periodically check the rubber gasket and filter plate for wear and tear. Replace if necessary to maintain optimal brewing performance.
• Kireç çözme: If mineral deposits build up in the water chamber, descale the pot using a mixture of water and white vinegar or a commercial descaling solution. Ensure to rinse thoroughly afterward.

Sorun giderme

• Coffee tastes bitter or burnt: This can occur if the water chamber is overfilled, causing the water to boil rather than steam through the coffee. Ensure water is filled only to just below the safety valve. Also, brewing on too high heat can burn the coffee.
• No coffee brews or very little coffee:
  • Check if the top and bottom sections are screwed on tightly. A loose seal can cause steam to escape.
  • Ensure the safety valve is not blocked.
  • The coffee grounds might be too finely ground or tamped too tightly, blocking water flow. Use a medium-fine grind and do not tamp.
• Water leaks from the side: This usually indicates that the top and bottom sections are not screwed on tightly enough, or the rubber gasket is worn and needs replacement.
