• This product has no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to examine or repair this product yourself. Please review the Warranty Policy on Page 9.
• Do not put any stress on the power cord where it connects to the product, as the power cord could fray and break.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord is not recommended for use with this product, but if one must be used:

• The marked electrical rating must be at least as great as that of the product.
• Arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over or pulled.

WARNING: This product is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other blade) to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This is a safety feature. The plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug. If the

plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless you can fully insert the plug into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

Before First Use

IMPORTANT: Please check all packaging material carefully before discarding as there may be accessory parts contained within the packaging material.

We recommend running the appliance once full through before first use. This allows the dust or impurities to pass through.

Attention: First use may cause a slight odor or small smoking upon heating, it is normal. This is a result of the heating element chemical reaction. It quickly goes away.

Before First Use:

1 Clean the mug, mug lid, reusable mesh filter, and filter basket in warm soapy water thoroughly rinse.
2 Brew two mugs of water according to the brewing coffee section, but do not add coffee grounds.

Using Your Single Cup Coffee Maker:

WARNING: Avoid contact with hot parts.

Coffee Filter:

This coffee maker comes with a reusable mesh filter. A paper filter can't be used in place of reusable mesh filter.

Brewing Coffee:

1. Lift the top cover and fill with drinkable water to the marked level '14 oz', '10 oz', or '8 oz'. Free Cup size is 14 oz.
   CAUTION: Do not overfill the product or operate it when empty.
2. Add three tablespoons of finely ground coffee or four tablespoons of regular ground coffee into the reusable mesh filter for a full mug of coffee.
   NOTE: Regular coffee grounds require more coffee per cup to achieve the strength of finer coffee grounds.
3. Gently shake the mesh filter to distribute the coffee evenly.
4. Place the mesh filter into the filter basket and place filter basket into the brewing chamber.
5. Close the water reservoir lid.
6. Remove the lid from the mug and place the mug into the base.
7. Place Cup on the drip plate directly below the water dispenser.
8. Plug the power cord into a standard 120v AC electrical outlet.
9. Press the switch button; the indicator light will illuminate, verifying that the coffee maker is operating.
10. Coffee Maker ON. The Coffee Maker will now begin to brew.

CAUTION: Do not open the reservoir lid during the brew cycle, as scalding may occur.

1. Allow all the coffee to drop from the brewing chamber into the mug before removing the mug.
   NOTE: Since coffee grounds absorb some water during brewing, the amount of brewed coffee will be slightly less than the amount of water poured into the reservoir.
2. When the brewing cycle is complete, the indicator light will shut off and the unit will no longer heat.
3. If brewing a second mug of coffee, repeat the same brewing cycle.
4. When brewing is complete, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

NOTE: The Start Button on this product is a thermally operated activation switch for starting a brewing cycle. Pressing it again after the start of a brewing cycle will not stop the coffee machine from operating. To interrupt a brewing cycle, unplug the product from the electrical outlet. If the indicator light turns on when the product is first plugged in, wait approximately 30 seconds for it to go off before using the product.

WARNING: Always unplug the product from the electrical outlet when it is not in use or will be left unattended

Brewing a Second Mug of Coffee:

To brew another Mug of coffee, allow the coffee maker to completely cool (about three minutes) after the Indicator Light has shut off. Rinse the Mug and the Reusable Mesh Filter with water. Repeat the brewing procedure.

WARNING: If the coffee maker does not cool completely before reuse, water placed in the Water Reservoir may overheat. This can cause steam to escape, resulting in a risk of burns and/or personal injury.

NOTICE: Attempting to start another brewing cycle before the coffee maker cools may result in an incomplete cycle; the unit employs a thermal reset switch to prevent overheating and may shut down.

Suggestions for Great Tasting Coffee:

Always use fresh, cold water.
- For stronger or milder coffee, increase or decrease the amount of coffee grounds to suit your taste.
- Finer coffee grinds, such as Drip and Automatic Drip Coffee Maker (ADC) coffee grounds, promote a full extraction of flavor and a rich, full-bodied coffee.
- Store unused coffee grounds in a cool, dry place. After opening a package of coffee grounds, tightly reseal it and store it in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- For optimum coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and finely grind them just before brewing.
- Do not reuse coffee grounds; this greatly reduces the coffee's flavor.
- Reheating coffee is not recommended as coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after brewing.
- A clean coffee maker is essential for making great-tasting coffee. Clean regularly as specified in the "Care and Maintenance" section.
- Prevent an oily buildup: A small amount of oil on the surface of brewed coffee is due to the release of oil from roasted coffee beans. Heavily roasted coffee beans release more oil than others. Regularly cleaning your coffee maker will prevent an oily buildup.

Cleaning Your Single Cup Coffee Maker:

WARNING: Always unplug the product and allow it to cool before cleaning or storing.

1. Removable items such as the Filter and Cup may be washed using a soft sponge with warm soapy water.
2. The Mug, Mug Lid, and Filter Basket may be placed on the upper rack of a dishwasher for cleaning or hand washed in warm, soapy water. The Reusable Mesh Filter must be washed by hand. NOTE: When washed in a dishwasher, the parts may appear to fade. Restore by polishing them with a soft, dry cloth.
3. Wipe the exterior surface of the coffee maker with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as they may damage your appliance.
4. Dry all parts thoroughly and reassemble for next use. Store carefully.

Removing Mineral Deposits:

To keep your coffee maker operating efficiently, remove mineral deposits left by water. At least once a month, use a water and vinegar household cleaning solution as described below to prevent the buildup of mineral deposits. If the water in your area is especially high in minerals, do this every two weeks.

1. Fill the Mug with one part of white vinegar and three parts of cold water.
2. Pour the water and vinegar mixture into the Water Reservoir.
3. Place the Mug (Lid off) onto the Base.
4. Press the Start Button; the Indicator Light will illuminate. NOTE: During cleaning, more steam occurs than when brewing coffee.
5. When the water-vinegar solution stops dripping into the Mug, allow the Coffee Maker to cool for three minutes. Remove, rinse, and replace the Mesh Filter and pour the water-vinegar mixture into the Water Reservoir again.
6. Press the Start Button. Allow all of the cleaning solution to drip into the Mug.
7. Discard the cleaning solution from the Mug.
8. Allow the Coffeemaker to cool for three minutes, then remove, rinse, and replace the Filter Basket.
9. Rinse the Coffee Maker by brewing a Mug of cold water.
10. Allow the Coffee Maker to completely cool and clean it by washing the Mug, the Filter Basket, and the Reusable Mesh Filter in soapy water; rinse and let dry.
