The compact Nano Brewer is perfect for leaving on the countertop, having a personal brewer at the office, coffee in the dorm, or even taking along while traveling. The Nano Brewer brews your single-serve coffee at an ideal 95°-97°C/203°-207°F in as little as 2 1/2 minutes.

CONTROL LID

OFF
When the Control Knob(A) is in the Off position, there is no power to the Nano Brewer and it will not operate.

BREW SETTINGS

SMALL CUP SETTING 4oz – 6oz of water
When the Small Cup position is selected and the Brew button is pressed, the brewing process will begin. Once the water reaches the proper temperature, the Circle Flow Technology will activate and run for 20 seconds.

MEDIUM CUP SETTING 6oz – 8oz of water
When the Medium Cup position is selected and the Brew button is pressed, the brewing process will begin. Once the water reaches the proper temperature, the Circle Flow Technology will activate and run for 40 seconds.

LARGE CUP SETTING 8oz – 12oz of water
When the Large Cup position is selected and the Brew button is pressed, the brewing process will begin. Once the water reaches the proper temperature, the Circle Flow Technology will activate and run for 60 seconds.

4oz – 20oz of water
When the Boil position is selected, the brewer will bring the water in the Carafe(E) to a boil when the Brew button is pressed. The time it takes to bring water to a boil depends upon the amount of liquid in the Carafe(E) . When the Clean position is selected and the Brew button is pressed, the brewer will cycle water from the Carafe(E) through the pump system then blow air through the system leaving the Nano Brewer clean and ready for its next use. See full cleaning instructions.

Brew Button
The Brew button starts the brewing process. It will also stop the brewing process if it is pressed during a brew cycle. The Brew button is illuminated blue when the brewer is in standby mode and it is illuminated red when in a brew cycle, boil cycle, or clean cycle. If there is no power to the Power Base(I) or if the brewer is not placed on the

Power Base(I) or
if the Control Knob(A) is set to OFF, the Brew button will not be illuminated.

Bold Button
The Bold button is used to extend the amount of time the Circle Flow Technology is activated by 30 seconds thus providing a bolder cup of coffee. When the Bold function is activated, the Bold button is illuminated red. Pressing the button toggles its state between Off and On.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE USE

IMPORTANT: Before first use wash the interior of the Carafe(E) and K-Cup® Holder(G) with warm soapy water. NEVER submerge Carafe(E) or Power Base(I) in water. See full cleaning instructions.

IMPORTANT

• Never use the Vinci Nano Brewer without water in the carafe. Operating without water can cause the temperature to exceed
• the preset limit; as a safety feature, your brewer will switch off automatically, and the Brew Button will be illuminated purple. This is an indication of overheating due to no water. Once the brewer’s temperature returns to its desired range, it can be used again – indicated by a blue “Brew Button.”
• This safety shut-off function will be activated within 20-60 seconds of exceeding the temperature and should reset within 30 minutes once the temperature has reduced.
• To avoid potential malfunction, ensure the carafe contains at least 4oz of water before powering up your brewer.
• If you have removed and reattached your brewer to its power base while it is still too hot, the Brew Button will instantly turn purple when you begin a new brew cycle, preventing it from starting.
• WARNING: Even with this safety feature, it is possible that overheating will cause a permanent failure of the brewer. It is critical to never activate a brew cycle without water in the carafe.
• CAUTION: DO NOT add cold water to the carafe to attempt to cool it, as this could lead to a malfunction or breakage.

HOW TO USE YOUR NANO BREWER
