Operating The Appliance - Russell Hobbs 18663-56 Instructions And Warranty

OPERATING THE APPLIANCE

1. Place the coffee maker on a flat, level surface, such as a countertop.
2. Check that the switch on the appliance is set to the "0" or OFF position.
3. Put the plug into the power socket.
4. Open the top lid and insert the permanent filter or a paper filter into the filter holder.
5. Put filter-ground coffee into the filter. The amount will vary with the type of coffee and
individual taste, but we suggest two rounded teaspoons per cup of water. Note: Be
sure not to over-fill the filter with too much coffee. Tip: We recommend using fresh
top quality ground coffee specifically for an automatic filter coffee maker. Experiment
to learn how much ground coffee to use for the strength of coffee you prefer. Tastes
vary and there are no hard and fast rules.
6. Open the hinged lid to the water reservoir located on the top of the coffee maker. Fill
the glass carafe with cold water up to the marked level for the desired amount of
coffee. NOTE: We recommend using only cold water as the automatic brewing
system has been designed to work best with cold water.
7. Empty the cold water from the carafe into the water reservoir. Close the hinged lid.
Place the glass carafe with the lid in place on to the warming plate.
8. Move the switch to the "1"/ ON position. The light will glow to show that the unit is
operating. The light will stay on until the switch is turned to the "O" or OFF position.
9. Shortly afterwards, hot water will disperse slowly through the ground coffee, brewing
hot tasty coffee. Here you will see coffee starting to drip into the glass carafe.
10. Once all the water has been pumped out of the water reservoir, the heating process
will switch itself off automatically and move the power to the hotplate for the "keep
warm" mode which is designed to keep your coffee at the proper serving
temperature.
11. Move the switch to the "O" or OFF position once you have finished using the coffee
maker. The light will go off.
12. Unplug, and let the appliance and carafe cool down fully before cleaning, or for about
10 minutes before refilling.
TIP: We recommend keeping the unused coffee in a tightly sealed container in your
refrigerator.
