Care and Maintenance

Before attempting any cleaning or maintenance, unplug the coffee maker from the mains power supply and allow it to cool fully.

STEP 1: Wipe the coffee maker main body with a soft, damp cloth and allow to dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the coffee maker main body in water or any other liquid. Never use harsh or abrasive cleaning detergents or scourers to clean the coffee maker as this could cause damage.
STEP 2: Wash the reusable coffee filter, filter basket and filter support in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly before replacing inside the coffee maker.
STEP 3: Clean the glass coffee jug in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly before storing.

Removing Limescale

Limescale can develop over time and may affect the performance and lifespan of the coffee maker.
It is recommended to descale the coffee maker regularly, at least once every three months, especially if the coffee maker is used in a hard water area. Frequent descaling will improve the performance and lifespan of the coffee maker.

STEP 1: Fill the coffee maker reservoir to the max. fill mark with cold water.
STEP 2: Add a commercial descaling agent to the coffee maker side water reservoir, adhering to the manufacturer’s instructions. It is not recommended to use vinegar to descale the coffee maker.
STEP 3: Run the coffee maker until it has cycled around 2 cups’ worth of water. Switch off, leave to soak for approx. 15 minutes, and then switch on again. Repeat until all the water has been cycled.
STEP 4: Empty the glass coffee jug. Refill the coffee maker side reservoir to the max. fill mark with clean water. Run the coffee maker at least twice more and pour the water away once it has cooled. The coffee maker should now be descaled, clean, and ready for use. If any traces of descaling product residue remains, run more clean water through the coffee maker until it is completely clean.
If the coffee maker switches off before it has boiled or a white deposit is noticed on the inside of the coffee maker, it needs to be descaled.

Getting Started

• Remove the coffee maker from the box.
• Remove any packaging from the coffee maker.
• Place the packaging inside the box and either store or dispose of safely.

Instructions for Use

Before First Use

STEP 1: Before using the coffee maker for the first time, remove the glass coffee jug and accessories and wash them in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
STEP 2: Wipe the coffee maker main body with a soft, damp cloth and allow to dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the coffee maker main body in water or any other liquid. Never use harsh or abrasive cleaning detergents or scourers to clean the coffee maker, as this could cause damage.
STEP 3: Fill the coffee side water reservoir and run a brewing cycle without coffee several times using clean water, following the instructions in the section entitled ‘Using the Coffee Maker and Hot Water Dispenser’. This will remove any residue from the internal components.
STEP 4: Fill the hot water reservoir and run a heating cycle several times using clean water, following the instructions in the section entitled ‘Using the Coffee Maker and Hot Water Dispenser’. This will remove any residue from the internal components.

Note: When using the coffee maker for the first time, a slight odour may be emitted. This is normal and will soon subside. Allow for sufficient ventilation around the coffee maker.

Preparing Coffee

STEP 1: Remove the reusable coffee filter from the filter basket by gently pulling it upwards.
STEP 2: Pour cold water into the coffee side water reservoir until the desired level is reached. The volume fill line can be used as reference to the amount of cups of coffee that can be produced.
STEP 3: Add the desired amount of finely ground or regular ground coffee to the reusable coffee filter. One level spoonful should make one cup of coffee. More or less coffee can be used, to taste. Close the filter basket lid.
STEP 4: Secure the reusable coffee filter onto the filter basket by aligning the tabs and clicking into position. Place the glass coffee jug onto the keep warm plate, then rotate in an anticlockwise direction to secure. The hole in the glass coffee jug lid and the hole in the bottom of the filter basket need to be level with each other before use.

Preparing Hot Water

STEP 1: Attach the drip tray cover onto the drip tray.
STEP 2: Pour cold water into the hot water side reservoir until the desired level is reached. Close the hot water side reservoir lid.

Using the Coffee Maker and Hot Water Dispenser

STEP 1: Plug in and switch on the coffee maker at the mains power supply.
Set the brewing option to the preferred setting and then press the power button; the indicator light will illuminate blue to signal that the coffee maker is in operation. Press the power button on the hot water control panel and allow the water to heat up; hot water will be ready for use when the ready indicator light illuminates green. The brewing and heating process can take several minutes and will depend upon the volume of water added to each respective water reservoir.
STEP 2: Once all of the coffee has dripped from the filter basket into the glass coffee jug and the brewing cycle is complete, remove the glass coffee jug from the keep warm plate. It is recommended to wait 1-2 minutes before doing this to allow the coffee maker to cool and let any excess water drip into the glass coffee jug. Take care when handling, as the glass coffee jug is likely to have become hot during operation.
STEP 3: Carefully serve the coffee, as desired; grip the glass coffee jug by the handle only. For hot water, secure the glass coffee jug or an appropriate container onto the drip tray and press down the hot water release lever until the desired amount has been dispensed.

Tip: Both the coffee and hot water functions can be used simultaneously.
Note: The anti-drip feature will prevent water from dripping onto the keep warm plate when the glass coffee jug is removed. Make sure that the glass coffee jug is replaced within 30 seconds to avoid water dripping onto the keep warm plate.
The amount of coffee produced will be slightly less than the amount of cold water poured into the coffee side water reservoir, as the coffee grounds will retain some water. Gently shake the reusable coffee filter to evenly distribute the coffee. Do not overfill the coffee filter.

Caution: Before connecting to the mains power supply, position the coffee maker onto a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface at a height that is comfortable for the user.
Check that all of the accessories are in place.
Do not switch on the coffee maker without any water in the water reservoirs.

Do not open either of the water reservoir lids during the brewing cycle, as this will allow steam to escape and could cause scalding or burns.
Warning: Allow the coffee maker to cool for approx. 3 minutes before using again. If the coffee maker does not cool completely before reuse, water placed in the water reservoir may overheat. This will allow hot steam to escape, which could injure the user.
Keep hands well away of hot water when using hot water dispenser.

Using the Set Time Function

To set the current time: Press the ‘H’ (hour) button until the current hour (AM/PM) is displayed. Press ‘M’ (Minute) button until the current minute is displayed.

Using the Programme Time Function

STEP 1: Whilst holding the ‘PROG’ (PROGRAMME) button, press down ‘H’ and ‘M’ until the desired brewing time is reached.
STEP 2: Once the desired brewing time has been set, release the ‘PROG’ button. The set time will then be displayed.
STEP 3: Press down the ‘PROG’ button for coffee or hot water to come on automatically at the set time. The ‘PROG’ button will illuminate green when the programme time has been set. If required, press down ‘PROG’ to cancel the set time.

Note: Both coffee and hot water program times can be set either independently or at the same time, if preferred.

Hints and Tips

1. Always use fresh, cold water to fill the water reservoirs.
2. The quantity of ground coffee can be adapted to suit taste. For stronger coffee, increase the amount of coffee and set to the BOLD strength option. Alternatively, use less coffee grounds for weaker coffee.
3. If using regular ground coffee, more is needed per cup to achieve the same strength as finer ground coffee.
4. After using packaged ground coffee, tightly reseal it and store the unused ground coffee in a cool, dry place.
5. To achieve optimum coffee taste, use whole coffee beans and finely grind them before brewing.
6. Do not reuse ground coffee or loose tea that has already been used in the coffee maker, as this will greatly reduce the flavour of the coffee.
7. Reheating coffee is not recommended, as it interferes with the taste.

Storage

The coffee maker must be cool, clean and dry before storing in a cool, dry place. Never wrap the cord tightly around the coffee maker; wrap it loosely to avoid causing damage.
