CONTROLS AND DISPLAY
![Russell Hobbs - 25610-56 - CONTROLS AND DISPLAY DESCRIPTION CONTROLS AND DISPLAY DESCRIPTION]()
OPERATING MODES
Your coffee maker has two operating modes.
GRIND & BREW MODE
This mode uses fresh coffee beans to make the coffee.
PRE-GROUND COFFEE MODE
This mode uses pre-ground coffee added directly to the filter to make the coffee.
USING GRIND & BREW MODE
The quality and flavour of your coffee is determined by the type of beans, the grind size and the brewing time. We recommend experimenting with the grind size and coffee strength button until you find the settings that work best for you.
- To select Grind & Brew mode, press the
button until the
icon shows on the display. - Fill the reservoir with the required amount of water. Note that during the brewing cycle, ALL of water you put in the reservoir will be used.
- Open the filter compartment and place a #4 paper filter into the filter holder. Close the compartment.
- Open the coffee bean hopper lid and fill it with fresh coffee beans. Don't overfill the hopper so that you can't refit the lid. The lid seal will help to keep the coffee beans fresh between uses.
- Turn the grind control to the required setting (
fine,
medium and
coarse). - Press the
button to select the number of cups you are brewing. The setting you choose will depend on how much water you have added to the reservoir. For example, if you have filled the reservoir to the 6 cups mark, set the number of cups to 6 as well. The default setting is 8. - Select the desired coffee strength using the
button. The default setting is
. - Press the
button to start brewing. After a short time, the grinder will operate and the light around the button will flash while the coffee is brewing. - Once the coffee is brewed, the light will stop flashing and remain lit.
USING PRE-GROUND COFFEE MODE
- To select pre-ground coffee mode, press the
button until the
icon shows on the display. - Fill the reservoir with the required amount of water. Note that during the brewing cycle, ALL of water you put in the reservoir will be used.
- Open the filter compartment and place a #4 paper filter into the filter holder.
- For each large cup, add 6g of ground filter coffee to the filter. The amount of ground coffee you add will depend on how much water you have added to the reservoir. For example, if you have filled the reservoir to the 6 cups mark, add 6 measures of ground coffee.
- Close the filter compartment.
- Select the desired coffee strength using the
button. The default setting is OFF. Setting coffee strength to ON will give a stronger brew by slowing down the rate that water passes through the pre-ground coffee. - Press the
button to start brewing. After a short time, the light around the button will flash while the coffee is brewing. - Once the coffee is brewed, the light will stop flashing and remain lit
KEEP WARM
- Once brewed, the hotplate will keep the coffee warm for 40 minutes after brewing. The keep warm mode is indicated by the light around the
button coming on. After 40 minutes, the light will go out.
USING THE TIMER
Note: Make sure the clock is set to the correct time. Use the hr and min buttons.
- Prepare the coffee maker according to which mode you are using but do not press the
button to start brewing. - Press the
button. The button will flash and the
icon will flash on the display. - Within 10 seconds of pressing the
button, use the hr and min buttons to enter the time you want your coffee maker to start brewing. - If a time has previously been programmed, it will flash on the display otherwise the display will show the default setting of 8:00.
- 10 seconds after you have finished entering the time, the
button will stop flashing and remain lit. The
icon on the display will also stop flashing and remain lit. Your coffee maker is now programmed to brew at the time you have entered.
- If you want to check the program time press the
button. The programmed time will show for 3 seconds and then return to the time of day. - If you want to cancel the timer before brewing has started, press and hold the
button for 5 seconds until the
light goes out and the
icon disappears from the display. - If you want to stop the coffee maker while it's brewing, press the
button.
A QUICK CUP
If you want a quick cup of coffee before the brewing cycle has finished:
- You can remove the carafe at any time. The non-drip valve will prevent coffee dripping on to the hotplate.
- To prevent the filter holder overflowing, replace the carafe on the hotplate within about 20 seconds.
- When you replace the carafe on the hotplate the non-drip valve opens to let any remaining coffee through.
