Do not let the cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of tables or counters.
This appliance can be used by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
The appliance is not a toy. Do not let children use this appliance. Close supervision is necessary when any kitchen appliance is used by or near children.

PARTS & FEATURES

USING YOUR COLD BREWO MAKER

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before first use, remove all packaging material, thoroughly clean the Rapid Cold Brew Maker, and wipe down all parts of the Cold Brew Maker with a moist cloth. Prior to first brew, fill the carafe with water and run a regular cycle. Discard this water afterward.

1. To add coffee grounds, place the Reusable Filter on a countertop or other stable surface. Fill up to the Max line, 6.5 ounces (photo A). Close the filter by attaching the Grounds Container Lid and turning the lid clockwise.

NOTE: Do NOT add coffee grounds while Filter is attached to Hopper or machine to avoid coffee grounds getting into the carafe.

2. Place the Reusable Filter inside the Hopper. Close the Hopper by attaching the Hopper Lid and turning clockwise—there will be a click when it is properly closed and locked. Place the Hopper on top of the base of the Cold Brew Maker, aligning the bottom of the Hopper with the indent on top of base (photo B). You may have to push down for the Hopper to be firmly attached to the base (listen for a click).

3. Fill the Carafe with your desired amount of cold water and close it with the Carafe Lid (photo C).

4. Slide the Carafe into the main slot of the Cold Brew Maker until you hear and feel a click. The Start/Stop button will illuminate when the Carafe is properly in place (photo D).

Note: The Hopper and Carafe must be in place in order for the Start/Stop button to illuminate. If the button won’t light up, make sure the Cold Brew Maker is plugged in and check the positioning of both the Hopper and Carafe.

5. Select the strength of your brew (Mild, Regular, or Bold) (photo E) and press Start/Stop to make your cold brew. The Indicator Light will let you know when your cold brew is ready, and the Cold Brew Maker will automatically shut off when it’s finished brewing.

TIPS & TRICKS

Depending on the strength of your brew, a brew cycle will take:

Mild:	8 minutes 20 seconds
Regular:	12 minutes
Bold:	17 minutes

For best results, we recommend using medium ground coffee.

Store your cold brew in your refrigerator in a sealed container and it will keep for up to 10 days.

If you find your cold brew to be too strong, try diluting with water at a 2:1 ratio (2 parts water, 1 part cold brew).

Your Rapid Cold Brew Maker will automatically shut off if it clogs. If this happens, clean out the filter and run a cycle (or two if necessary) with only water—this will help clean out any clogged grinds.

Chef Tip!

Use your Cold Brew Maker to make fresh tea, too!
Follow the instructions for making cold brew, but replace the medium ground coffee with your favorite loose-leaf tea.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

The Rapid Cold Brew Maker is NOT dishwasher safe. Clean all parts by hand with soap and water. Make sure all parts are dry before storing.

1. The cleaning brush that came with your unit can be used to clean the Carafe Lid’s tube (photo A).

WARNING: DO NOT use a straw brush to clean the tube that runs from the Hopper down to the Carafe. If you wish to clean this, run a regular brew cycle without any coffee grinds and just water.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM	SOLUTION
The Rapid Cold Brew Maker is making a lot of noise.	This is normal as the

machine must take in water and pressurize the Hopper to make cold brew so quickly.
While I am brewing, there doesn’t seem to be any cold brew going into the Carafe.| At the very end of the brewing process, the cold brew will rise to fill the Carafe. The machine will automatically turn off when the brewing process is complete.
At the end of the cycle there is less cold brew in the carafe than the amount of water used.| Water is absorbed by the coffee grounds, so you can expect to receive less cold brew than the amount of water used (with a full 40-ounce carafe of water, expect around 35 ounces cold brew). This is true for most brewing methods.
Coffee grounds have ended up inside the Carafe.| Check to make sure your Filter and Hopper aren’t damaged. If either is damaged, please call customer service for replacement parts.
My Dash Rapid Cold Brew System does not turn on.| Check to make sure the Filter is properly assembled and placed in the Hopper and that the Carafe is properly inserted in the machine. If both are properly in place and the Cold Brew Maker won’t turn on, contact Customer Support. Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
