CAUTION:
When
opening the lid and handling the capsule receptacle, be mindful of
sharp objects. There are two small, sharp puncturing needles located
above and below the capsule receptacle that puncture the K-Cup
®
before use.
3. Carefully remove the capsule receptacle with K-Cup
®
or reusable coffee
filter.
NOTE:
If brewed coffee grounds sit in the InstaCoffee or reusable
coffee filter for an extended amount of time, they may begin to mold.
4. Discard K-Cup
®
or remove reusable coffee filter and discard coffee
grounds from inside. Rinse with water and allow to dry completely.
NOTE:
The reusable coffee filter is designed to be reused. Do not
throw out.
5. Rinse or wash the capsule receptacle with a sponge and warm, soapy
water. Dry completely.
6. Leave the lid in the open position so the InstaCoffee can dry completely.
7. If necessary, rinse or wash the removable rubber trivet with a sponge
and warm, soapy water.
8. If necessary, wipe down the base of the InstaCoffee with a damp
sponge, cloth, or paper towel. Dry completely. Never immerse the
InstaCoffee or its plug in water. The InstaCoffee is not dishwasher–safe.
9. Calcium buildup, caused by minerals commonly found in water, can
adversely affect brewing. To decalcify the coffee maker, use the
self-cleaning function described on page 12, as needed.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
SELF-CLEANING FEATURE
The InstaCoffee is equipped with a self-cleaning feature to prevent
mineral buildup.
TO USE
1. Fill the water tank with 14 oz of water or a combination of 13 oz of
water and 1 oz white vinegar.
2. Ensure lift is in its lower position. Place a mug or travel cup large
enough to hold at least 14 oz of water onto the rubber trivet located
on the base of the InstaCoffee.
3. If necessary, plug in the InstaCoffee.
4. Press and hold the brew button until it illuminates in red and starts
flashing. The InstaCoffee will start dispensing some hot water. When
this initial, partial dispensing of water stops, the light will continue
flashing for approximately 20 more minutes until it dispenses the
remaining water.
5. Do not remove the coffee mug from the base until the brew indicator
light stops flashing and turns off completely.
6. After the light has turned off, carefully remove the filled mug from
the base. Discard brewed water mixture.
CAUTION:
Mug and water
mixture will be very hot!
7. If using a water/vinegar combination, we suggest "brewing" two or
three 14-oz cups of water just afterwards for a clean-tasting cup
of coffee.
