2. Preparing the Coffee Maker
2a. 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 making two
carafes using only water, without any
ground coffee inside the filter.
2b. The Display / Setting the Clock
and Timer
When you plug in the coffee maker the
unit will beep, the display (Fig. 2, H.)
will illuminate and show "12:00 AM".
All indicator lights will be off.
2c. To Set the Current Time (Fig. 2)
Push and hold the hour button. The
hours will advance. The left side of the
display will show AM and PM. When
the correct hour shows up release the
button and push and hold the minute
button to set the minutes.
Attention:
You must change the clock
when the time changes (Standard
Time, Daylight Savings Time).
2d. To Set an Auto-On Time:
If you want the coffee maker to start
brewing at a preset time automatically,
first push the program button (Fig. 2, M).
The display shows "6:00 AM".
Immediately start pushing the hour
and minute buttons as described
above until the desired time shows
up. Within a few seconds the display
will revert to the actual time.
To check the programmed time
just push the program button. The
display shows the programmed time
and will switch back to the actual
time.
To change the programmed time,
push the program button and repeat
as described above.
Attention:
Flashing Display!
• If the machine is unplugged or
power is interrupted all settings
described in chapters 2b. and 2c.
must be reset.
• If the machine was set to Auto-On
and power was interrupted, the
machine will not brew coffee at the
programmed time.
3. The Proper Sequence for Making
Coffee
Coffee makers produce very hot water.
If you follow the sequence as described
below you will avoid possible accidents
which might cause severe injuries and
burns.
1. Remove carafe from machine and fill
carafe with desired amount of water.
NOTE:
Water will be absorbed during
brewing process. The carafe level
markings indicate where the water
should be filled and how much coffee
will be produced. (Fig 3)
2. Open water container lid (Fig. 1, A)
and pour water into the water tank.
Caution:
Make sure the water level
does not exceed the MAX setting
(Fig 4) If you fill too much water into
the water tank the carafe may
overflow with hot coffee.
3. Make sure the filter holder (Fig. 1,D)
sits firmly in the filter holder housing.
Push the filter holder down (Fig. 6)
to make sure the filter holder sits
firmly in the filter holder housing.
If the filter holder is not snapped
into the housing, the drip stop in the
filter holder might not open during
brewing. Hot water and grinds could
overflow and leak from the machine.
Caution
: When you push against
the drip stop from the bottom, and
the filter holder lifts up, re-insert the
filter holder. Otherwise the drip stop
will not open during brewing. Hot
water could overflow from the filter
causing injuries.
