BEFORE THE FIRST USE

Check that all accessories are complete and the unit is not damaged. Add clean water up to maximum level to brew several times without coffee powder according to the steps below, and then discard the water. Wash the detachable parts thoroughly with warm water.

1. Open the top lid and fill the water tank with cold drinking water. The water level should not exceed MAX level as indicated on water gauge.
2. Put the funnel into funnel holder, then place the filter in the funnel, and make sure it is assembled correctly.
3. Add coffee powder into filter. Usually a cup of

coffee needs a level spoon of coffee powder, but you may adjust according to personal taste. Close the funnel holder, a click sound will be heard when the funnel holder is closed completely.

1. Insert the carafe on warming plate horizontally.
2. Plug the power cord into the outlet.
3. Pressing the switch down, the indicator will be illuminated. The appliance will begin working.

Note: during brewing process you may remove the carafe to serve for duration of not exceeding 30 seconds, and the coffee maker can stop dripping automatically. If the serve time exceeds 30 seconds the coffee will overflow the funnel.

1. Upon completion of brewing coffee, that is one minute later after the coffee stops dripping out, you can remove the carafe, pour and serve.

Note: the brewed coffee you get will be slightly less than the water you have added as some water is absorbed by coffee powder. DO NOT touch cover, warming plate and so on when operating as they are very hot.

1. When the process is finished, if you do not want to serve immediately, keep the switch on, the coffee can be kept warm in the warming plate for 40 minutes and the appliance will be cut off automatically after 40 minutes. For an optimum coffee taste, serve it just after brewing.
2. Always turn the coffee maker off and disconnect the power supply after use.

Note: Be careful when pouring the coffee out, otherwise you would be hurt as the temperature of coffee just finished is high

REMOVING MINERAL DEPOSITS

To keep your coffee maker operating efficiently, periodically you should clean away the mineral deposits left by the water according to the water quality in your area and the use frequency. We recommend decalcifying your coffee maker as follows, using a solution of white vinegar and cold water. A solution of two tablespoons (30ml) white vinegar in one carafe of cold water works best.

1. Fill the tank with the vinegar solution to the maximum level as indicated on water gauge.
2. Insert glass carafe onto the warming plate.
3. Make ensure filter (without coffee powder) and funnel are assembled in place.
4. Switch on the appliance and allow it to "brew" de-scaling solution.
5. After “brew” one-cup solution, switch off the appliance.
6. Leave the solution stay for 15 minutes and repeat step 3-5.
7. Switch on the appliance and run off the solution until the water tank is completely empty.
8. Rinse by operating the appliance with water at least 3 times.

HINTS FOR GREAT-TASTING COFFEE

Note: a clean coffee maker is essential for making great-tasting coffee. Regularly clean the maker as specified in the “CARE AND CLEA” section. Always use fresh, cold water in the maker.

Note: store unused coffee powder in a cool, dry place. After opening a package of coffee tea, reseal it tightly and store it in a refrigerator to gain its freshness.

Note: for an optimum coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and finely grind them just before.

Note: do not reuse coffee powder since this will greatly reduce the coffee' flavor. Reheating cof-not recommended as coffee is at its peak flavor diately after brewing.

Note: clean the coffee maker when over-extraction causes oiliness. Small oil droplets on the ice of brewed, black coffee are due to the extract-oil from the coffee powder.

Note: oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffees are used.
