Brewing Coffee

Brewing Coffee
Once you've cleaned your Instant Multi-function coffee maker and accessories, and you've run the initial cleaning program, you can begin brewing a delicious cup of coffee.

Bold
This program lets you brew a more flavorful cup of coffee by increasing brewing time, allowing the water to extract more flavor from a coffee pod or espresso pod.

Altitude Mode
If you live at higher altitudes (over 5,000 feet above sea level) be sure you follow these instructions, so your coffee maker works properly.

Coffee pods and espresso capsules
With the Instant^® Multi-function coffee maker, you can brew coffee with a K-Cup* pod, espresso capsules or brew your favorite coffee grounds using the included reusable coffee pod.

How to brew coffee
Prep

1. Fill the water tank up to the MAX fill line. DO NOT attempt to brew if the water level is below the MIN fill line.
2. Choose your favorite K-Cup* pod, espresso capsule, or fill the reusable coffee pod with two tablespoons of medium or medium-fine ground coffee.

Brew

1. Lift the latch to the brewing house.
2. Place your desired brewing pod into its appropriate inlet. Close the brewing lid and ensure it is securely latched.
3. For a stronger cup of coffee, press Bold before selecting serving size.
4. Select the desired amount of coffee you would like to brew by pressing the 8 oz, 10 oz or 12 oz buttons for coffee pods, or 4 oz, 6 oz, 8 oz for espresso capsules. The selected button will flash while water heating cycle begins. You can stop brewing at any time by pressing the selected cup size again.
5. The selected brewing button will flash and remain illuminated when the coffee maker starts brewing. Soon, hot coffee will pour from the brew spout.
6. When the coffee stops dripping from the spout, remove your cup of coffee.

Be careful: Brewing reaches high temperatures. DO NOT touch the brewing housing unit or spout during the brewing process. Touching hot surfaces may result in personal injury and/or property damage.

Care, Cleaning, Storage

Regularly clean your Instant Multi-function coffee maker and included accessories to ensure the best possible flavor and to prevent mineral deposits from building up in the coffee maker.
Always unplug the coffee maker and let it cool to room temperature before cleaning. Never use metal scouring pads, abrasive powders, or harsh chemical detergents on any of the coffee maker's parts.
Let all parts dry thoroughly before use, and before storage.

Be careful: The coffee maker contains electrical components.

To avoid fire, electric shock, or personal injury:

• Hand wash only.
• DO NOT rinse or immerse the coffee maker, power cord, or plug in water or other liquids.

Descaling / Removing Mineral Deposits
With regular use, mineral deposits may accumulate in the coffee maker, which can affect the temperature and strength of your brew.
To make sure your coffee maker stays in tip top shape, descale it regularly to keep minerals deposits from building up.
After 300 cycles, the 10 oz and 12 oz keys flash to remind you to clean and descale your coffee maker.

Descaling Solution Ratio

1. Combine cleaner and water as shown in the table above.
2. Make sure the reusable pod is in the brewing housing unit.
3. Fill the water tank to the MAX line with the cleaning mixture.
4. Place a large container beneath the drip nozzle.
5. Touch and hold the 10 oz and 12 oz keys for 3 seconds. The cleaning mixture runs through the appliance until the water tank is empty.
6. Discard the cleaning mixture from the container and place the emptied container beneath the drip nozzle.
7. Rinse the water tank and fill to the MAX line with cool, clean water.
8. Touch and hold the 10 oz and 12 oz keys for 3 seconds. The cleaning mixture runs through the appliance until the water tank is empty.
9. Discard water produced from coffee maker.

Be careful: Hot water is used for descaling. To avoid risk of personal injury and/or property damage, the container must be large enough to hold the entire contents of the water tank (68oz / 2000 mL).
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
