N.B. Caution must be used when inserting the charcoal filter. Improper placement in the

 Hold the filter under cold running tap water for 10 seconds to flush. Hold the water
filter holder vertically, directly under the water stream so that the water flows through
the filter compartment.
 Allow the filter to drain completely.
 Replace the water filter holder into its opening on the inner wall of the reservoir,
pushing it all the way down to the base of the unit.
E Preparing to Brew
Before making coffee for the first time, we recommend operating the appliance once
using only water to remove any dust or residue that may remain in the system from the
manufacturing process. Ensure the burr grinder is operated without beans for first use.
Adding Water
• Open the water reservoir lid at the back of the appliance. Pour the desired amount of
water into the reservoir using the water level indicator. Close the reservoir lid ensuring
not to exceed the 12 cup line as this may cause the carafe to overflow.
N.B. Do not exceed the 12 cup line. Doing so could cause the carafe to overflow.
N.B. Be careful to add only the amount of water for the number of cups you wish to brew.
The machine will use all of the water added regardless of the amount of coffee used.
Adding Coffee
There are 2 ways to add coffee when using this machine. You can use fresh coffee beans
and allow the machine to grind the beans before brewing the coffee, or you can simply
use pre ground coffee beans.

Using Coffee Beans

• Lift the bean hopper lid and fill with the desired quantity of beans. We recommend
keeping the bean hopper at least half full and ensuring there is a sufficient amount of
beans in the hopper for the amount of coffee that is intended for brewing.
WARNING! The maximum capacity of the hopper is 225g. Do not over
fill or you may damage the burr grinder and/or the unit may overflow.
N.B. Be careful to add only the amount of water for the number of cups you wish to
brew. The machine will use all of the water added regardless of the amount of coffee
used.
