When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury, including the following:

1. Read all instructions carefully before use.

3. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.
4. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to an authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
5. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Not recommended for use by children.
6. Do not use this appliance for anything other than its intended use.
7. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock, or personal injury, and will void warranty.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.
11. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
12. Pod Coffee Maker must be used on a flat surface away from the edge of counter to prevent accidental tipping.
13. Do not clean the pod coffee maker with scouring powders, steel wool pads, or other abrasive materials.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazard resulting from entanglement or tripping over a long cord.
2. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, it should be positioned so that it does not drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
3. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be the same or more than the wattage of the appliance (the wattage is shown on the rating label located on the underside or back of the appliance).
4. Avoid pulling or straining the power cord at outlet or appliance connections.

POLARIZED PLUG

1. Your appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
2. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way.
3. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it does not fit, please consult a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug in any way.
   WARNING: Improper use of the power cord may result in electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if necessary.

SET UP & USE

BEFORE FIRST USE
Carefully unpack the single serve pod coffee maker and remove all packaging materials. To remove any dust that may have accumulated during packaging, wash the reusable capsule, capsule basket and cup mat with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleansers on any part of the pod coffee maker. You may wipe the main body with a clean, damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the main body of the pod coffee maker, cord or plug in water or any other liquid.

NOTE: We recommend that prior to brewing your first cup, you “brew” a mug of water only, without the capsule. This will remove any dust that may have settled inside the pod coffee maker.

IMPORTANT: Use only cold water – the automatic brewing system is designed to work only with cold water.

PARTS & FEATURES

USING YOUR SINGLE SERVE POD COFFEE MAKER

1. Place your pod coffee maker on a flat, dry surface, such as a countertop.

2. Open the hinged lid by pushing in the lid release button.
   CAUTION: The water shower head contains a sharp piercing needle. Use caution when lid is opened.

3. Insert the capsule basket into place by aligning the front of the capsule basket pointing to the front of the unit (see fig.1). The capsule basket handle will be positioned to the left of the pod coffee maker.
   CAUTION: The capsule basket has a sharp piercing blade inside. Use caution when handling.

4. Add ground coffee or tea leaves into the included reusable capsule and close the lid. Insert front end of the capsule into the capsule basket (see fig.2).
   NOTE: In your pod coffee maker, we recommend using one tablespoon of coffee grounds specifically for automatic drip coffee makers. After using your pod coffee maker a few times, you may adjust the amount to suit your own taste.

5. Fill your heat resistant mug with cold water and pour the water from the mug into the water reservoir. Close and lock down the hinged lid until it snaps into place. If using the removable cup mat, ensure cup mat is centered in place before placing mug onto cup mat (see fig.3).

IMPORTANT: Use only cold water – the automatic brewing system has been designed to work only with cold water.

CAUTION: This pod coffee maker makes one fresh beverage at a time. You will need to add fresh cold water each time you brew. This unit does not store extra water in the water reservoir. Do not overfill the water reservoir. Maximum amount of cold water is 0.45L (15 oz). While you may use any mug that fits in the pod coffee maker, ensure that the amount of cold water added into the water reservoir is no more than 0.45L (15 oz) and does not exceed the volume of the mug.

IMPORTANT: Do not operate the pod coffee maker if the lid does not close completely. If the lid does not stay locked down, check to ensure that the removable capsule basket is inserted correctly.

1. Plug the unit into a working 120-volt 60 Hz AC-only outlet.
2. Press the start button. The button will illuminate, indicating that your pod coffee maker has begun heating the water to prepare to brew. In a few minutes, your pod coffee maker will be finished brewing fresh coffee.
3. Once the brewing cycle has been completed, the pod coffee maker will automatically turn itself off. You will know that the brewing cycle is over when the illuminated start button turns off. Unplug the power cord when not using the pod coffee maker.

WARNING:

• To avoid risk of personal injury or damage to property, do not remove mug from pod coffee maker until the light turns off indicating that the brew cycle is complete.
• NEVER lift lid during brewing cycle as hot water will spray from the piercing needle and scalding may occur.

CLEANING AND CARE

Other than the care and cleaning procedures mentioned in this manual, no other servicing or maintenance of this unit is necessary.

CAUTION: Be sure to unplug the pod coffee maker and allow to cool completely before cleaning. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the cord, plug or pod coffee maker in water or any other liquid. The reusable capsule, cup mat and capsule basket may be washed with warm, soapy water, then dried thoroughly before placing back into place.

To clean the piercing needle and drain hole found at the bottom of the capsule basket, insert a paper clip, toothpick or similar tool (see fig.4). Never use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners on any part of your pod coffee maker. The main body may be wiped with a clean, damp cloth when necessary and dried thoroughly.

IMPORTANT: Never immerse the heating stand, cord or plug in water or any other liquid. Do not try to clean the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as this will leave a residue of lint and may clog your pod coffee maker. Simply rinse with cold water periodically.

CLEANING AND CARE

DECALCIFYING
Calcium build-up frequently occurs in coffee makers. This build-up is quite normal and is caused by minerals commonly found in drinking water. Your coffee maker will need to be descaled every 2-3 months to remove any calcium or mineral deposits that might have formed. We recommend decalcifying your pod coffee maker with a solution of regular white vinegar and cold water. Use a solution of 2 tablespoons (30 mL) white vinegar in one mug of cold water. Pour the vinegar solution into the water reservoir. Insert capsule basket into place and close the hinged lid and put the empty mug in place. Do not use the reusable capsule. Switch the pod coffee maker on and allow it to “BREW” the vinegar solution. When the vinegar solution has finished “brewing”, empty the mug and rinse with clean water. Refill your mug with clean, cold water and run a second “BREW” cycle. This will rinse out any remaining vinegar solution. If necessary, you may want to repeat this last step. The frequency of decalcifying will depend on the hardness of your water. In normal water conditions, we suggest decalcifying your pod coffee maker every 2-3 months. In hard water conditions, we suggest decalcifying your pod coffee maker every 1-2 months.

TROUBLESHOOTING & WARRANTY

BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
