6. Use Guide
Before First Use
- Remove all packaging materials and stickers.
- Wash the glass carafe, lid, filter basket, and drip funnel with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse it in water.
- Perform a cleaning cycle by brewing a full carafe of water only (without coffee) to remove any residual manufacturing dust.
Brewing Coffee
Note: A video guide is available showing product setup and use.
- Fill with Water: Open the lid of the water reservoir. Using the glass carafe, pour cold water up to the desired number of cups (max 0.6L/5 cups). The water level marks on the carafe can be used for measurement. Pour the water into the reservoir.
- Insert Filter & Coffee: Place the detachable filter basket into the brew basket. Add medium-ground coffee to the filter. A general guideline is one tablespoon (approx. 7-8 grams) of coffee per cup (150ml) of water.
- Place Carafe: Ensure the carafe lid is in place. Position the empty glass carafe on the keep-warm plate, centered under the drip funnel.
- Start Brewing: Plug in the appliance. Press the power switch. The indicator light will turn on, and the brewing process will begin. Brewing time is approximately 5-10 minutes.
- Anti-Drip Function: You can remove the carafe during the brew cycle to pour a cup. The anti-drip function will stop the flow of coffee to prevent spills. Replace the carafe to continue brewing.
- Keep Warm: After brewing is complete, the appliance will automatically switch to keep-warm mode, maintaining the temperature of the coffee for a period. The power indicator light remains on.
- Turn Off: Once you have finished serving coffee, press the power switch to the "OFF" position. The indicator light will turn off. Unplug the appliance.
Cleaning and Maintenance
- After Each Use: Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool. Discard the used coffee grounds. Wash the carafe, lid, filter basket, and drip funnel with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry.
- Exterior: Wipe the main unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
- Descaling: Mineral deposits from water can build up inside the machine. Periodically (approximately once a month, depending on water hardness), run a brewing cycle with a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water. Follow this with 1-2 cycles of clean water only to rinse away any vinegar taste.
- Storage: Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing. Store in a cool, dry place. Wrap the cord loosely around the base if applicable.
