COFFEE MAKER

Remove all packaging materials. Check if all accessories are complete and the unit is free from any damaged.

NOTE: The appliance is designed with a pause-and-serve feature, if you wish, at any time during brewing cycle, you can temporarily remove carafe to pour and serve a cup of hot coffee. The brewing cycle will not be interrupted and no coffee will drip from the unit, simply return the glass carafe onto the warming plate to restart the brewing cycle, but do not remove the glass carafe longer than 30 seconds.

1. Remove carafe to serve after the brewing cycle, (about one minute later after the coffee stops dripping out).

NOTE: The coffee you get will be less than the water you have poured, as some water is absorbed by coffee ground.

HINTS FOR GREAT-TASTING COFFEE

1. A clean coffee maker is essential for making great-tasting coffee. Regularly clean the coffee maker as specified in the “CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE” section.
2. Always use fresh tap water in brewing coffee.
3. Store unused ground coffee in a cool, dry place. After opening a package of ground coffee, store it in an airtight container to maintain its freshness.
4. For the best coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and finely grind them just before brewing.
5. Do not reuse ground coffee since this will greatly reduce the coffee flavor. Reheating coffee is not recommended as coffee is at its peak flavor after brewing.
6. Clean the coffee maker when over-extraction caused oiliness. Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed, black coffee are due to the extraction of oil from the ground coffee.
7. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffees are used.
