Before First Use
After unpacking your coffee maker, clean all the loose parts with warm water
and make yourself familiar with the different functions. After reading these
instructions, clean the internal parts of the machine by brewing a mug of only
water, without any ground coffee inside the filter.
Brewing Coffee with Loose Ground Coffee
1. Lift the coffee maker lid. Pour cold filtered water up to the MAX fill line in the
water reservoir.
NOTE:
You can add less water to the water reservoir if you will be adding milk
or creamer to the coffee after brewing.
2. Place removable filter basket into filter holder with basket handle resting in the
slot on the left side of the basket holder rim. (Fig 2.) Correct position is indicated
by a triangle on the holder rim that lines up to the filter basket placement
notch. (Fig 3.)
3. Place the permanent filter into the basket with the filter handle resting in the
slot on the right side of the basket holder.
IMPORTANT
: If the basket and
filter are not properly positioned, the coffee maker will not operate correctly.
4. Add ground coffee (3-5 tablespoons is recommended but can be adjusted to
taste. DO NOT use more than 6 tablespoons or the filter can overflow). Use a
medium grind coffee for automatic drip coffee makers. Close the lid.
5. Place travel mug with the lid in place on the mug rest directly. Ensure that the
lid of the travel mug is in the OPEN position so that the coffee can travel into
the mug and does not collect on the travel mug lid and overflow.
NOTE:
Do not tighten the lid too much as the heat during brewing can lock
the lid into place making it difficult to remove the lid to add milk or sugar.
6. Ensure the machine is powered ON using the switch on the side of the machine.
7. Press the BREW button on the front of the machine; the indicator light
illuminates and brewing will begin. The coffee maker and light turn off
automatically when brewing is finished. Allow coffee to finish dripping from
the unit before removing your travel mug.
