Before First Use

yourself familiar with the dierent functions. After reading these instructions, clean the
internal parts of the machine by making two carafes using only water, without any ground
coee inside the lter.

Using Your Coee Maker
Coee makers produce very hot water. If you follow the sequence as described below
you will avoid possible accidents which might cause severe injuries and burns.
1. Remove carafe from machine and ll carafe with desired amount of water.
Note: Water will be absorbed during brewing process. The brewed coee will be
slightly less than markings on carafe.
2. Open the lid (Fig. 1, A) and ll the water tank (Fig. 1, E) with water
Caution: The water level should not exceed MAX level marked on the water level
indicator on the side of the machine. If you ll too much water into the water tank the
carafe may overow with hot coee.
3. Make sure the lter holder (Fig. 1, D) sits rmly into the lter holder housing. Then place
lter (Fig. 1, C) into the lter holder and ensure it ts correctly.
Note: A size #4 paper lter can also be used instead of the lter. Do not use a paper
lter inside of the lter.
Caution: If the lter holder is not engaged correctly into the housing, the drip stop in
the lter holder might not open during brewing. Hot water and grinds could overow
and leak from the machine.
Caution: When you push against the drip stop from the bottom, and the lter holder
lifts up, re-insert the lter holder. Otherwise the drip stop will not open during brewing.
Hot water could overow from the lter causing injuries.
4. Add medium coarse ground coee into the lter. Use approximately 1 level tablespoon
of ground coee per cup of coee according to the personal taste. Then close the top
lid. DO NOT exceed 14 level tablespoons of coee in the lter.
5. Make sure the carafe lid sits properly on the glass carafe. Insert the carafe into the
machine. The inner part of the lid will push the drip stop up to let the coee brew
through.
6. Plug the power cord into the outlet.
7. Follow the “function setting” to set the function, and nally press the BREW icon to
start making coee.
8. The brewing process can be interrupted by pressing the BREW icon once at any time
during operation. The appliance will continue brewing once the BREW icon is pressed
again. Note: You can remove the carafe from the platform during the brewing process
for approximately 30 seconds to pour a cup before brewing is nished.
9. Immediately after brewing is nished there could still be hot water in the lter passing
through the ground coee. This can take 1 to 3 minutes to pass through depending
on how much coee you used and how ne the coee was ground. Wait until all
brewed coee is in the carafe before serving.
10. If you want to make another carafe of coee immediately after the rst pot, make sure
the machine is o and allow it to cool down for three minutes before relling the water
tank. Important: Make sure the carafe is empty before brewing.

Tips for great Iced Coee:
• We reccommend using a medium
roast coee ground at a medium
coarse setting
• Use strong coee strength setting on

over-extraction and increased bitterness
of your coee, while too coarse a grind
can leave your coee tasting weak or
under-extracted.

3. Once the cup size is set, it will remain as the default until the next
setting change.
Keep warm setting
1. The initial default setting is M (medium) which keeps the coee at
approximately 170°F.
2. Other available temperature options are L (low) which keeps the coee at
approximately 165º F and H (high) which keeps the coee at
approximately 175°F.

Hints for Great Tasting Coee
1. A clean coee maker is essential for making great tasting coee. Regularly clean the
coee maker as specied in the “Cleaning & Maintenance” section. Always use fresh,
cold water in the coee maker.
2. Store unused ground coee in a cool, dry place. After opening a package of ground
coee, reseal it tightly or place into an airtight container. DO NOT store ground coee
in the refrigerator or freezer.
3. For optimum coee taste, buy whole coee beans and grind them just before brewing.
Keep unused whole beans in an airtight container in a cool dry place.
4. DO NOT reuse ground coee since this will greatly reduce the coee’s avor.
Reheating coee is not recommended as coee is at its peak avor immediately
after brewing.
Troubleshooting
What to do if...
...Coee drips from the lter, when the carafe is removed.
• Ground coee sits in the drip stop and does not allow the drip stop to close properly.
Immediately replace the carafe and wait until all the coee has been ltered in the
carafe. Now remove carafe and remove the lter holder. Clean lter holder under running
water. Push the drip stop several times to remove coee particles. Over the sink ll
some water into the lter holder and check if the drip stop closes properly.
...Ground coee is owing over the lter.
• Coee is ground too nely. Use a coarser ground.
• Too much ground coee was placed in lter. Use less ground coee next time.
• Use a size #4 paper lter instead of the lter.
