Manual Operation
1. Place the coffeemaker on a hard, flat surface. With the coffeemaker turned off,
plug in.
2. Fill the carafe with fresh, cold water (preferably bottled or filtered water). Open
the Top cover and pour the water into the water tank. The number of cups is
shown by the water level indicator. Do not exceed the maximum fill level. We
do not recommend making less than 4 cups.
3. Place the carafe with the lid closed in the coffee maker making sure it is fully
seated in the coffee maker to activate the pause-n-serve mechanism.
CAUTION: To avoid filter basket overflow, the carafe must fit securely into the
coffee maker with the lid on. If not properly positioned on the warming plate it
could cause hot water or hot coffee to overflow.
4. With the Top Lid in the full opened position, insert filter, into the filter basket
holder, folding the seamed edges to insure a snug fit in the basket.
5. Add coffee using the measuring scoop provided. Brew coffee with the coffee
water ratio you normally use when you prepare ground coffee. If you prefer
strong coffee, we recommend the following European method, which produces
rich, full-bodied flavour. Use one level scoop for each cup (6 fluid ounces) or 10
level scoops per full pot of coffee. Experiment with the amount of coffee used in
order to adjust the flavour to your taste. Do not exceed the Max level.
6. Close the Top Lid & make sure it is securely closed.
7. With the Top Lid firmly closed and the carafe securely in place, press the
On/Off button. The red colour LED light will light up and flashing, to indicate the
brew cycle has started.
8. When the brewing process ends and the water level indicator is empty, there
will still be hot liquid in the filter basket. Wait a few minutes for the rest of the
liquid to drip through into the carafe.
CAUTION: Never open the Top Lid during the brewing cycle; even if no water
is draining from the Funnel. Extremely hot water/coffee can spill out from the
basket and cause injury. If water/coffee is not draining from the filter basket,
IMMEDIATELY unplug the unit and wait 10 minutes before opening and
checking the filter.
