Bonavita BV1800TH Operating Instructions Manual page 4

Before rst use
•
Remove packaging materials, labels and stickers from co ee maker.
•
Clean the appliance by lling the water tank with clear cold water to the maximum
level mark and turn the co ee maker on to allow the water to run through (without
co ee).
•
Leave it to cool down for 5 minutes before repeating the process. Brew hot water
through the co ee maker at least 2 times before brewing with co ee.
Using the co ee maker
1. Take thermal carafe and lter basket out of the appliance.
2. Raise lid of the water tank and pour the required amount of fresh cold water into the
tank. The required number of cups - from 2 to 8 - is determined by lling the water
tank based on the water level indicator and desired co ee brewing output. Do not
ll above 8 cups (Fig.1).
3. Fold over the seamed edges of a # 4 paper lter and place it in the lter basket. Scoop
the ground co ee into the paper lter. Recommendation would be one level scoop
of co ee per cup or vary according to taste (Fig. 2). This equates to approximately
7 to 9 grams of co ee per cup. Bonavita recommends using Melitta #4 paper lters.
4. Place the lter basket on the thermal carafe (without lid) and put both back into the
appliance (Fig. 3).
5. Switch the appliance on – the on/o switch lights up, showing that the machine is
operating(Fig. 4). Attention: Do not take out the thermal carafe and lter basket
while brewing cycle – risk of scald due to leaking hot steam!
6. After ending of the brewing process remove the carafe with brewed co ee and
the lter basket from the appliance. Dispose of the used lter, rinse the lter
basket out, and set aside to dry.
7. Tighten the thermal carafe lid on the thermal carafe (Fig. 5).
8. For pouring co ee from the thermal carafe, press the lever on carafe lid. Lid must be
tightened fully for one hand operation (Fig. 6).
9. The appliance is equipped with an automatic shut o function which switches the
machine o after approx. 15 minutes. Appliance can be switched o manual anytime
by using the on/o switch.
