Preparing to Brew
Before making coffee for the first time, we recommend operating the appliance once, using only water, to remove any dust of residue that may remain in the system from the manufacturing process.
A. Adding Water
Open the lid of the main unit and pour the desired amount of water into the
water tank, using the water level indicator. Close the reservoir lid, ensuring
not to exceed the 2L maximum.
N.B: Do not exceed 2L (12 cups) of water. Doing so could cause the carafe
to overflow.
N.B: The machine will use all of the water added, regardless of the
amount of coffee used.
B. Adding Coffee
This machine uses ground coffee. With the scoop provided, we recommend you use
1 level scoop of ground coffee per cup. The maximum capacity for ground coffee
is 12 cups. Exceeding this may cause the appliance to overflow.
N.B: Be careful to only add the amount of coffee for the number of cups
you wish to brew. The machine will use all the coffee regardless of the amount
of water used.
To add coffee, open the lid of the main unit and scoop the desired amount of
coffee into the filter basket. Then close the lid.
C. Preparing the Carafe
Rinse the carafe with hot water, before every use.
Brewing Coffee
Now the machine is ready for use, ensure the machine is plugged into the
mains.
To set the appliance, to start at a programmed time, refer to the ‘Setting the
Programme Timer’ in section 3.
Then press the ‘Brew/Off’ button to brew fresh coffee.
When the brewing cycle has completed, the machine will beep. Coffee will
continue to stream from the filter for several seconds afterwards. After
brewing, the appliance will automatically shut off. The keep warm feature will
then maintain the temperature of the coffee, for up to 40 minutes.
CAUTION: The bottom of the carafe is hot to touch for several minutes
after brewing.
