BEFORE FIRST USE
Before brewing your coffee for the very first time, clean the Aroma Style
Electronic Coffee Maker thoroughly as follows:
- Lift the water tank lid and fill the water tank with cold water to the maximum mark.
- Insert plug into a 230/240V power outlet and then switch on at the outlet.
- Ensure the filter holder is firmly positioned into place. Close the water tank lid.

- When the water has dripped through, press the on/off button to switch the Coffee Maker off. Remove the carafe from the hot plate, empty and wash in hot soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
The Aroma Style Electronic Coffee Maker is now ready for use.
PERMANENT STAINLESS STEEL MESH FILTER BASKET
NOTE
This filter basket is provided to ensure optimal flavor extraction from the
finely ground coffee into the brewed coffee. The filter basket is removable
and should be washed in warm, soapy water after each use, then rinsed and
dried thoroughly. Replace back into the filter holder. Disposable paper coffee
filters are not necessary and should not be used with or without the permanent
stainless steel mesh filter basket.
SETTING THE CLOCK TO THE TIME OF DAY ON THE LCD
NOTE
The clock does not have to be set to the time of day for the manual operation
of the Coffee Maker The clock has to be set for time of day for the automatic
operation of the Coffee Maker.
To set the clock to the time of day:
- When the Coffee Maker is plugged in and switched on at the power outlet the LCD will flash 12:00 and the AM icon in the top left hand corner.
- Press the ‘HOUR
button to select the current hour time. Press and hold the ‘HOUR
button to scroll through numbers quickly. When the number displayed approaches the desired setting, press and release the button to advance one digit at a time. (AM is indicated in the upper left hand corner of the clock display and PM in the lower left hand corner). - Press the ‘MIN
button to select the current minute time. Press and hold the ‘MIN
button to scroll through numbers quickly. When the number displayed approaches the desired setting, press and release the button to advance one digit at a time
BREWING COFFEE MANUAL OPERATION
-
Lift the water tank lid and fill the water tank with cold water. The number of cups is shown by the water level indicator. Do not exceed the maximum fill level. It is recommended not to make less than 4 cups.
NOTE
There are two drip holes on the back of the water tank to prevent exceeding the capacity of the Coffee Maker. If too much water is added it will flow from these holes down the back of the Coffee Maker. -
Insert plug into a 230/240V power outlet and then switch on at the outlet.
-
Ensure the filter holder is firmly positioned into place. Insert the stainless steel mesh filter basket into the filter holder.
-
Spoon ground coffee into the stainless steel mesh filter basket. Allow approximately 1 heaped teaspoon of ground coffee for each cup of brewed coffee. Close the water tank lid.
-
Position the empty carafe, with the lid on, onto the hot plate.
-
Press the on/off button to switch the Coffee Maker on. The light above the on/off button will illuminate and the coffee will start to drip through
NOTE
While the non-drip feature is a convenient way to pour a cup of coffee mid- cycle, we recommend you wait until the completion of the brew cycle, as the strength and flavor of the coffee poured mid-cycle will vary from the finished brew. While this temporarily stops the coffee from dripping into the carafe, it does not stop the brewing cycle. After pouring a cup of coffee, the carafe should immediately be returned to the hot plate for completion of the brewing cycle and to prevent the filter basket from over flowing. -
The non-drip valve feature allows you to interrupt the brewing cycle before the entire carafe has finished filling.
-
When the brewing process ends and the water tank level indicator is on empty, there will still be hot liquid in the filter basket. Wait a few minutes for the rest of the liquid to drip through into the carafe.
-
After the coffee grounds have cooled, open the water tank lid and carefully remove the mesh filter basket by grasping the handle, and lifting straight up from the filter basket holder.
-
The hot plate will keep the coffee hot for two hours as long as the Coffee Maker is switched on.
-
Always switch the Coffee Maker off when the carafe is empty or when you no longer want to keep the coffee hot.
NOTE
There are two drip holes on the back of the water tank to prevent exceeding
the capacity of the Coffee Maker. If too much water is added it will flow from
these holes down the back of the Coffee Maker.
WARNING
To avoid the filter basket overflowing, the carafe must fit securely into the
coffee maker hot plate, with the lid on at all times. If not properly
positioned on the hot plate, hot water or hot coffee may overflow. Do not open
the water tank lid during the brewing cycle as hot steam could cause injury.
If water/coffee is not dripping from the coffee maker, immediately press the
on/off button, switch off at the power outlet, unplug and wait 10 minutes
before opening the water tank lid and checking the filter basket. The coffee
maker becomes very hot during the brewing cycle. Please handle with extreme
care.

BREWING TEA
The Coffee Maker can be used for brewing tea if desired. Simply place 4-6
teabags or teaspoons of tea in the stainless steel mesh filter basket and
follow the same procedure as for brewing coffee. It is advisable to thoroughly
clean out the coffee residue in the stainless steel mesh filter basket and
filter basket holder before brewing tea and vice versa.
WARNING
Do not immerse the drip filter coffee maker body in water or any other liquid.
Tips
- Coffee strength and flavor is an individual preference. It is suggested that you experiment with different brands, flavors and amounts of coffee.
- Always use finely ground coffee for drip filter coffee makers. If the coffee is too coarse the water will pass rapidly through the Coffee Maker resulting in poor extraction of coffee flavor.
- To maintain coffee freshness, store opened packets of coffee in an air tight container in a cool dark place.
- Brewed coffee can be kept hot for an indefinite period of time, however the flavor of the coffee will deteriorate with time.
