Operation; Coffee Filters; Coffee; Milk - Russell Hobbs 10968S Instructions Manual

Carefully unpack the coffee maker and remove all protective packing materials. You may wipe the
outside of the machine using a clean damp cloth. Do not immerse the stand or carafe in water or
other liquid. To remove any dust that may have accumulated in the removable parts during
packing, wash the carafe, lid and filter holder with warm, soapy water. Thereafter rinse with clean
water and allow drying. Do not use any type of harsh abrasive cleaners.
NOTE: We recommend that prior to brewing your first pot of coffee, to rinse the machine by
running water through the machine without using any coffee in the filter holder. This will remove
any dust that may have settled inside the coffee maker. Follow brewing instructions without using
ground coffee in the coffee holder.
IMPORTANT: Use only cold water. The automatic brewing system has been designed to work
only with cold water.

COFFEE FILTERS

Cone-shaped paper filters are available at your local convenient stores and where coffee makers
are sold. Standard #4 filter should be used. Permanent nylon filters may also be purchased,
eliminating the need of disposable paper filters.
The use of basket-styled paper filters is not recommended, since they do not confirm to the shape
of the Removable Filter Basket and may cause coffee to back up and spill over during the brewing
process.

COFFEE

Use medium-ground filter coffee. The amount will vary with the type of coffee and individual
taste. We suggest starting with two rounded teaspoons per cup.

MILK

If you take milk, use warm milk to avoid overcooling the coffee. For maximum flavour, coffee
should be cool enough not to scald or burn, but hot enough for the flavour to fill the mouth,
sinuses and nose.
USING BOTTLED WATER
Check it has no added ingredients or flavourings. Use flat water, not sparkling. The carbon dioxide
which gives the sparkle will adversely affect the flavour.
TASTE
Don't be tempted to pass old coffee through the machine. You'll damage the machine and the
coffee will be undrinkable
Clean the filter, filter holder, basket and carafe after each use; any taint from a previous brewing
will spoil the taste of a freshly brewed pot of coffee.
