USING YOUR COFFEE MAKER

When using for the first time:

1. Inspect the appliance and all accessories to ensure that they are intact and there is no product damage. In the event of damage, contact us immediately.
2. Rotate the funnel support to the left and remove all detachable components.
3. Clean them using warm water and soap, and then place them back inside.
4. Fill the water reservoir to the maximum line using cold water.
5. Plug the machine in and press the start/stop button to boil the water.
6. Repeat the process 2-3 times to ensure that the machine is sterile and ready for use.

USING COFFEE BEANS

1. Fill the water reservoir using cold water. Fill the water to the 2, 4, or 6 cup mark depending on the amount of coffee you want to brew. All of the water in the water reservoir will despense during brewing. Do not fill past the 6 cup mark on the water reservoir.
   Note: since some of the water gets absorbed into the coffee grinds, the quantity in the carafe will be slightly less than the amount of water originally in the reservoir.
2. Rotate the funnel support to the left and ensure that the filter, filter cover and funnel are properly placed within it.
3. Rotate the funnel support back to the right until it is locked in place.
   
4. Place up to 100g of coffee beans into the hopper, and cover with the lid. We recommend not placing too many beans inside in order to maintain freshness.
   Note: to avoid blockage and damage to the unit, do not use damp or unroasted coffee beans.
5. Plug the power cord into the outlet. The filled in coffee bean icon and the 6 icon will be lit.
6. Turn the selection knob clockwise to select the amount of beans to grind. The options are grinds for 2, 4, or 6 cups of coffee. Grinds for 6 cups is the default setting and will automatically grind if you do not rotate the knob.
7. Rotate the coffee grinder knob, located at the top of the hopper, to select the size of the grounds.
   
8. Turn the selection knob counterclockwise to select the desired coffee strength. The two options are regular (outlined coffee bean icon) and strong (filled in coffee bean icon).
9. Press the start/stop button once. The indicator in the center will flash and after approximately 3 seconds the grinding will commence. The brewing process begins immediately following the grinding. The buzzer will sound 3 times to indicate the brewing is complete.
10. The coffee in the carafe will stay warm for up to 35 minutes after brewing. After this time, the power will shut off.

Note: The control panel goes into sleep mode if there is no activity for 1 minute after it is plugged in. To reactivate it, simply rotate the dial or press the start/stop button.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR GROUND COFFEE:

• Avoid using finely ground coffee as it may block the filter.
• Only use medium to coarse ground coffee
• Do not overfill the ground coffee filter.

USING COFFEE GRINDS

1. Fill the water reservoir using cold water. Fill the water reservoir to the 2, 4, or 6 cup mark depending on the the amount of coffee you want to brew. All of the water in the tank will dispense during brewing.
   Do not fill past the 6 cup mark on the water reservoir.
   
   Note: since some of the water gets absorbed into the grinds, the quantity in the carafe will be slightly less than the amount of water originally in the reservoir.
2. Rotate the funnel support to the left and ensure that the funnel is properly in place.
3. Fill the ground coffee filter with coffee grinds. Place the ground coffee filter in the funnel and place the lid on top.
4. Rotate the funnel support back to the right until it is locked in place

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Always remove the plug from the outlet and allow the appliance to cool before cleaning.
• Do not immerse the coffee maker or base into water or any other liquid.

1. Clean the funnel, filter, filter cover and carafe after each use using warm water and soap.
2. Wipe down the hopper, warming plate and product's exterior using a soft, damp cloth to remove any stains.

NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleansers.

Removing mineral deposits:

1. Fill the water tank to the "max" line with a household descale solution and water using a 1:4 ratio. Citric acid can be used in place of the descale solution with the water: acid ratio being 100:3.
2. Rotate the selection knob counterclockwise to the dispensing icon. Press the start/stop button. The indicator in the center will flash and the descaling will commence.
3. After the water tank is emptied, repeat the process 3 times using clean water to ensure the machine is thoroughly rinsed out.
