HOW TO BREW COFFEE

• Once you’ve cleaned your coffee maker and first run the cleaning process, you can begin brewing your first cup of coffee.

Use a K-Cup capsule or Ground Coffee

With your coffee maker, you can brew coffee with a K-Cup capsule, or grind your favorite coffee beans and use a filter holder. Scoop about 10-15g of medium to medium-fine ground coffee into the filter holder.

1. Fill the water tank up to the MAX line. DO NOT attempt to brew if the water level is below the MIN line.
2. Lift the top cover and place the capsule holder or filter holder into the brew chamber. Then close the top cover, ensuring it is securely latched.
3. Select the desired amount of coffee you would like to brew by pressing the cup size button.
4. For a regular cup of coffee, press the regular button. For a strong cup of coffee, press the strong button. The selected button will flash while the water heating cycle begins. You can stop the brewing process at any time by pressing the selected button again.
5. The select button will remain illuminated when the coffee maker starts the brewing cycle. The hot coffee will pour from the brew spout once the heating process is finished. The heating process will take about 80-150 seconds.
6. When the coffee stops dripping from the brew spout, lift the top cover and discard the used K-Cup capsule or ground coffee. Wash the capsule holder or filter holder under running water.
7. Now you can enjoy your freshly brewed cup of coffee.

Now your coffee maker is ready.

Note: Use K-Cup capsule only.

Caution: Brewing reaches high temperatures. Do not open the top cover or touch the brew spout during the brewing process. These may result in personal injury and/or property damage.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Clean your coffee maker regularly to ensure the best possible flavor and to prevent mineral deposits from building up in the coffee maker.
• Always unplug the coffee maker and let it cool to room temperature before cleaning. Never use metal scouring pads, abrasive powders, or harsh chemical detergents on any of the coffee maker’s parts. Let all parts dry thoroughly before use, and before storage.

Clean water tank

• Remove the tank and handwash with dish soap and warm water. Then rinse it under running water.

Clean the capsule holder or filter holder

• Remove and handwash with dish soap and warm water or place in the top rack of a dishwasher.

Clean the drip tray

• Remove and handwash with dish soap and warm water. Then rinse it under running water.

Clean the piercing needle

• The piercing needle is located on the inside top of the top cover. Should an obstruction occur because of coffee grounds, it can be cleaned using a paper clip or similar needle. Insert the paper clip to loosen the obstruction and push it out.
• Caution: The piercing needle is sharp.

Descaling

• With regular use, minerals may accumulate in the coffee maker, which can affect the temperature, volume, and strength of your brew.
• To make sure your coffee maker stays in tip-top shape, descale it regularly to keep mineral deposits from building up.
• After 150 cycles, the cup size button and the strong button will alternate flash in red to remind you to clean and descale your coffee maker.
• The ratio of descaling solution should be 1:4 for household descaler or 3:10 for citric acid.

1. Combine cleaner and water as shown above.
2. Fill the water tank to the MAX line with the cleaning mixture.
3. Place an empty mug beneath the brew spout. Ensure the brewing lid is securely latched.
4. Press and hold the cup size button and the Strong button for 3 seconds. The machine will brew approx.14 oz of the mixture, then stop automatically. Repeat this process until the water tank is empty.
5. Discard the cleaning mixture from the mug and place the emptied mug back beneath the brew spout.
6. Rinse the water tank and fill to the MAX line with cool, clean water.
7. Press and hold the cup size button and the Strong button for 3 seconds. The machine will brew approx.14 oz of water, then stop automatically. Repeat this process until the water tank is empty.
8. Discard the water produced by the coffee maker.

Caution: Hot water is used for descaling. To avoid the risk of personal injury and/or property damage, the mug must be large enough to hold the entire contents of the water tank (41 oz / ~ 1.2 L). Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
