Using your coffee maker

Ensure that the appliance is switched off and unplugged from the supply socket if it is left unattended and before assembling, disassembling or cleaning.
Remove any packaging and promotional material from your coffee maker and position it on a stable, secure, dry and level work surface away from the edge. Wash all parts that will come into contact with food. Use warm soapy water then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Before making coffee for the first time, operate your coffee maker with plain water to flush the system through.

• Follow steps 1 to 5 below but without adding any coffee at step 4.
• Once the brewing cycle has completed, discard the contents of the bottle.

Making Coffee

1. Open the lid and fill with cold water to the 130, 300 or MAX marking (inside the water tank). The MAX marking is enough to completely fill the 500ml bottle. Make sure that you pour the water into the water tank and not the filter compartment. Don't exceed the MAX marking.
   
2. Fit the filter holder.
   
3. Fit the filter. Alternatively, you can use a paper filter shaped to fit the filter holder.
   
4. Add the filter coffee. For a 500mml bottle, add approximately 25g of coffee (or to taste). Close the lid.
   
5. Place the bottle onto the base. Plug your coffee maker in to the mains supply outlet. Press the on/off switch firmly until it lights up. Your coffee maker will start to brew the coffee.
   
6. When the brewing cycle has finished, the on/off switch light will go out. Remove the bottle, add milk and sugar as required then screw on the lid.
   

Notes

Freshly brewed coffee will be HOT! Take care when drinking.
Your coffee maker requires a rest period of three minutes between each brewing cycle. If you try to press the on/off switch during this time, nothing will happen. You can use this time to prepare your coffee maker by refilling the water tank and emptying and cleaning the used coffee grounds from the filter.

Cleaning
