Before Using Your
Momentum Coffee Maker
Before using your Momentum Coffee Maker for the first time, we
suggest you become familiar with all of its parts. Read all
instructions and cautions carefully.
This initial set-up procedure prepares the coffee maker for use by
filling the Water Chamber completely full of water and allowing
time for the water to reach proper brewing temperature. This
procedure is only required the first time the coffee maker has not
been used, if your coffee maker has not been used for several
days and has been emptied, or after the coffee maker has been
drained for transport or long term storage (see “Draining Your
Coffee Maker For Transport or Storage,” page 10.)
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the coffee maker, do not connect
the power cord to a power outlet until the following steps have
been completed.
NOTE: The coffee maker will be heavy after the initial set-up steps
are completed. For that reason it is recommended you place your
coffee maker where you intend to use it before following the initial
set-up procedure.
1. Make sure the coffee maker is unplugged. Wash the Carafe,
Carafe Lid and the Removable Filter in warm water and mild
detergent. Rinse thoroughly then dry with a clean cloth. Place
the Removable Filter in the Swing-Out Filter Holder.
2. For this initial set-up, set the Control Dial to “Brew.”
3. Fill the Carafe with fresh, cold water to the “10 cup” line.
4. Slowly empty the water into the Water Fill Area on top of the
coffee maker. Allow a few minutes for the water to drain into
the Water Chamber.
5. Fill the Carafe a second time with fresh, cold water to the “10
cup” line.
6. Slowly empty the water into the Water Fill Area on the top of
the coffee maker. Allow a few minutes for the water to drain
into the Water Chamber.
7. Fill the Carafe a third (final) time with fresh, cold water to the
“2 cup” line corresponding to the top of the metal band.
8. Slowly empty the water into the Water Fill Area on top of the
coffee maker and close the Water Chamber Lid.
