BEFORE BREWING

1. Register your product at www.prodprotect.com/blackanddecker.
2. Carefully unpack your coffeemaker, removing all packaging materials, labels, stickers and the plastic band around the power plug.
3. Thoroughly clean your coffeemaker according to the basic cleaning instructions found in the Care and Cleaning section of this manual.
4. Clean the inside of your coffeemaker by running two full brewing cycles with water only, no coffee:
   a. Make sure water reservoir is seated correctly by aligning the reservoir outlet with the inlet port on the machine base, or the machine will not work properly.
   b. Pour fresh, cold water into the water reservoir up to the 20 oz. mark.
   c. Plug cord into standard electrical outlet.
   d. Push the ON-OFF / Power Button to immediately brew water through the coffeemaker without adding coffee.

   f. Turn off appliance, unplug and allow to cool down for 15 minutes before repeating.

BREWING SINGLE SERVE—PODS

1. One coffee pod generally brews 6 to 10 ounces. For stronger coffee or when filling higher capacity mugs, select the 6, 8, or 10 ounce setting and brew twice using two separate pods. To customize strength, see Brewing Single Serve–Ground Coffee.

2. Make sure your coffee maker is in ready mode and the red power button LED is lit. (See Before Brewing.)

3. Ensure the water reservoir is filled with a minimum of 20 ounces of water. Do not fill reservoir past the MAX fill line.
   IMPORTANT : If you attempt to brew any single serve selection with less than 6 ounces of water in the reservoir, the brew selection buttons will flash several times to alert you to add more water.
   NOTE : Use spring water or filtered water. Distilled water lacks the minerals necessary to bind to elements of coffee. Filtered water will limit impurities and excessive minerals that can detrimentally impact coffee flavor and machine performance.

4. To open, lift the lock handle and pull out the pod/filter holder (A).

5. Insert a coffee pod of your choice into the pod/filter holder. (B)
   NOTE : Do not remove the foil lid or puncture the coffee pod before inserting.

To avoid risk of injury, do not put your fingers inside the brewing area.

6. Push the pod/filter holder into the machine and lower the lock handle (C). This will puncture the coffee pod.
   NOTE: A great deal of pressure is required for pressurized pod brewing. For your safety, the amount of force needed to close the lock handle with a pod in place is greater than that of the other brewing options.

7. Use the hinged cup rest when brewing smaller size cups (6oz.). Fold the cup rest up when using larger size cups or mugs (8 or 10 oz.) and place on the drip tray (D).

8. To start the brew cycle, press your choice of brew size.
   NOTE : The green LED brew selection light turns off when brewing is complete.
