how to use
Using the machine for the first time

- Clean the coffee machine with a damp cloth or sponge. (fig. 2)
- Plug to the socket. (fig. 3)
Note:
Before using your coffee maker for the first time, run a brew cycle without
coffee to rinse.
BREWING COFFEE
-
Fill the water tank with cold water to desired water level (Max 12fl oz). (fig. 4)
Note: Do not exceed the Max line (12fl oz) when brewing into travel mug. Doing so could cause coffee maker to overflow. -
Insert the permanent filter. (fig. 5)
-
Add the desired amount of ground coffee directly into the filter, then close the top cover.
-
Remove the lid of the travel mug and place the travel mug in the mug rest of the coffee maker. Switch on the power button. (fig. 7 & 8)
-
Press the “Start” button on the front of the machine; the indicator light illuminates and brewing will begin. (fig. 9) The coffee maker and light turn off automatically when brewing is finished.
Once the cycle ends, switch off the power button. Allow coffee to finish
dripping from the unit before removing your travel mug and securing the lid.
(fig. 10)
Wait a few minutes before making a second mug of coffee. Please allow the
brewing chamber to fully cool down and remember to empty the used coffee
grinds prior to making your next cup.
NOTE: There will be slightly less coffee in your travel mug than the
amount of water added, as the ground coffee will absorb some of the water.
IMPORTANT: Once the “Start” button is pushed, the unit must run its
cycle. In case the brew cycle needs to be promptly stopped, you may use the
power switch on the side of the machine to turn the unit OFF, but the unit
will remain in the BREW position until the internal switch is reset. Take note
to fill the water tank prior to turning the machine back ON and place the
travel mug on mug rest as the unit will start brewing if turned off before
internal switch is reset. Allow the unit to reset (indicator light turns off)
before turning off or unplugging.
CAUTION: Be careful when opening the coffee maker lid after brewing as this
area will be hot and steam built up in the machine can cause burns. Use the
lift tab located on the front of the lid and be careful with hands and face so
it does not come in contact with any steam or hot water.
