BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Before using the appliance for the first time, remove the thermos jar and filter assembly, wash in warm, soapy water, and rinse and dry thoroughly.
2. Wipe the main body of the appliance with a soft, damp cloth and allow it to dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the main body in water or any other liquid. Never use harsh or abrasive cleaning detergents or scouring pads to clean the appliance as these can damage it.
3. Clean your appliance before using it by running two brewing cycles (as described below) without coffee or a coffee filter.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the appliance on a hard, flat sur face and connect it to the electricity supply.

2. Open the top cover and pour cold water (preferably bottled or filtered water) into the water chamber. The water level indicator shows the number of cups of coffee. Do not exceed the maximum fill level (10 cups). We recommend filling water 4 cups.

3. Place the thermos jar with the lid closed in the coffee maker, making sure it is fully in place to activate the PAUSE & SERVE function.
   CAUTION: Hot water or hot coffee can spill if the thermos jar is not positioned properly on the warming plate.

4. With the top cover fully open, insert the filter or coffee filtering paper into the funnel (place only one filter paper and ensure that the paper filter isn’t bent or folded).

5. Add coffee using the measuring scoop provided.

6. Close the top cover and ensure it is closed securely.

   To make coffee immediately

8. Press the ON/OFF button to immediately begin brewing coffee. The red LED light will flash to indicate the brewing cycle is taking place. The LCD display will show “ON” in the top right-hand corner alongside the coffee cup icon.

9. If you want to stop the appliance during the brewing cycle, press the ON/OFF button again.
   To pre-set the auto-brew time
   

10. You can pre-set the auto-brew time using the PRO function. First, set the current time. When plu ed in, the coffee maker will show “12:00” by default. Use the HOUR and MIN s to set the current time.

11. Set the desired auto-brew time. Press the PRO button once. The display will show “PROGRAM” . Set the desired start time using the HOUR and MIN buttons.

12. The appliance will now be in auto-brew mode. The green indicator light will flash and the display will show “AUTO” and the current time. Your coffee maker will automatically begin brewing at the pre-set time. When the brewing cycle begins, the red indicator light will flash to indicate that the coffee maker is in operation and the green light will turn off.

13. Press the PRO button for about three seconds to cancel the auto-brew setting.
    CAUTION: Never open the top cover during the brewing cycle, even if no water is draining from the funnel. Extremely hot water/coffee can spill out from the filter basket and cause injury. If water/coffee is not draining from the filter basket, IMMEDIATELY unplug the appliance and wait 10 minutes before opening the top cover to check the filter.
    NOTE: This appliance has a PAUSE & SERVE function that allows you to pour a cup of coffee at any time before the brewing cycle is complete. While this will temporarily stop the coffee from dripping into the thermos jar, it does not stop the brewing cycle. After serving, the thermos jar should be immediately returned to the plate to prevent the filter from overflowing. Make sure the thermos jar is positioned firmly against the back of the coffee maker.

14. When the brewing cycle ends, the red indicator light switches off and the water level indicates that the water chamber is empty, although there will still be hot liquid in the filter basket. Wait a few minutes for the remaining liquid to drip into the thermos jar.

15. Once the coffee grounds have cooled, open the top cover and carefully remove the filter by grasping the handle and lifting it straight up from the funnel compartment. Discard the used coffee grounds.

Note: If two or more pots of coffee are needed, it is recommended that the appliance be allowed to cool for 10 minutes between each pot. The filter should be rinsed after each brewing cycle.

COFFEE-MAKING TIPS

1. Always use fresh, cold water to fill the water chamber.
2. The quantity of ground coffee used can be adapted according to taste. Use more or less coffee for a stronger or weaker flavour.
3. If using regular ground coffee, more grounds are needed per cup to achieve the same strength of flavour as finer ground coffee.
4. After using packaged ground coffee, tightly reseal and store the package in a cool, dry place.
5. To achieve the best-tasting coffee, use whole coffee beans and finely grind them in a coffee grinder.
6. Do not reuse ground beans as this will greatly reduce the flavour of the coffee.
7. Reheating the resulting coffee is not recommended as this will affect the taste.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Always unplug the coffee maker and allow it to cool before cleaning.

2. Wash the vacuum cup lid and removable filter basket holder in hot, soapy water, or place them in the top rack of the dishwasher.
   DO NOT place any other parts of your coffee maker in the dishwasher.

3. Never use harsh or abrasive cleaners on any part of your coffee maker. To clean it, simply wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For hard-to-remove stains, use a plastic mesh pad or cloth damped in vinegar.

IMPORTANT: Never immerse the coffee maker plate or main housing in water or any other liquid. Do not try to clean the inside of the water chamber with a cloth as this will leave a residue of lint that may clog your coffee maker. Periodically rinsing with cold water is enough.

DECALCIFYING YOUR COFFEE MAKER
Calcium build-up frequently occurs in drip coffee makers. This build-up is normal and is caused by minerals commonly found in drinking water. Your coffeemaker will need to be cleaned periodically to remove any calcium or mineral deposits that may have formed.
You will know when your unit needs decalcifying when you notice an obvious slow down in the brew· time. We recommend decalcifying your unit with a solution consisting of two tablespoons of white vinegar in one jar of cold water. Pour this solution into the water reservoir and follow your normal operating instructions, although without placing a filter in the funnel. When the brewing cycle is finished, empty the thermos jar and rinse it with water. Refill the water reservoir with cold water only and repeat the brewing cycle twice more with water only. This will rinse out any remaining vinegar solution. We recommend doing this 4 times a year.
