How to Boil Water
1. Remove the lid and pour fresh water
to the “max” level, which is one liter
(approximately one quart). (Figure 1)
2. Replace the brewing lid and lift the plunger
up and turn clockwise to have the axle of
the plunger clipped and hold underside
the lid.
3. Place the French Press on its base station
by positioning it so the stud on the base
fits into the hole on the underside of the
appliance. (Figure 2)
4. Plug the unit in by inserting the plug
into the socket. Extension cords are not
recommended.
5. Press the On/Off button ( ).
6. The temperature indicator lights up by the
195°F mark and the unit begins to heat the
water.
7. Once the water reaches boiling 212°F,
the indicator begins to flash and the unit
switches off. Note: Once the water has
cooled slightly, the unit will turn on and off
to maintain the temperature at a constant
195°F. The unit will automatically switch off
after 25 minutes. (Figure 3)
8. If you want to keep the water warm at
a temperature below 195°F, you can
choose to directly heat the cold water up to the lower
temperature of 112°F or 160°F and keep the warm water
maintained at the set temperature by pressing the On/
Off button one or more times at the beginning of the
appliance being switched on. You can also choose to
heat up the cold water to 212°F first, and then set a
lower temperature of 112°F or 160°F to maintain the
warm water at the set temperature. The difference is that
for the second option, you have to wait until the water is
heated up to 212°F first. When the temperature indicator
for 195°F starts to flash, press the “On/Off” button again
one or more times to set the lower temperature to 112°F
or 160°F that you want the warm water to be maintained
at. At this mode the water will be kept warm at a lower
temperature, and the appliance will not switched off
itself.
How to Make Coffee
Selecting and Measuring Ground Coffee
For best results, use a level tablespoon for ground coffee
measurements. Make sure you use coarsely ground coffee
for a perfect brew.
