How to Use

This appliance is intended for household use only.
GETTING STARTED

1. Remove all stickers and packing materials attached to the coffeemaker.
2. Wash all parts as instructed in the “Care and Cleaning”section.
Note: Coffeemaker works without having to set the clock.
3. Before using your coffeemaker for the first time, brew water through it as instructed

in the “BREWING” section without adding grounded coffee.

4. Once brewing is complete the coffeemaker and the brewing indicator light

automatically shut off.

5. Discard the water from the thermal carafe and rinse it.
Important: Do not place the thermal carafe on or near a gas or electric burner, in a

heated oven or in a microwave oven. Avoid rough handling and sharp blows.
BREWING

1. To fill the water reservoir, lift the cover and fill it with water up to your desired level.
Note: Maximum capacity is 8-cups of water. Do not overfill.
2. Place a filter into the brew basket. Fill the filter with the desired amount of coffee.

Note: We recommend 1-2 tablespoons (5-10 grams) of grounded

coffee for every 6 oz. (180ml.) of water. If brewed coffee is too strong

for your taste just add a little bit of hot water to your cup of brewed

coffee.
3. To insert brew-thru lid into thermal carafe, align the brew-thru lid

arrow with the “Insert and Align” arrow on the thermal carafe and

twist clockwise (B).

4. Turn the brew-thru lid clockwise until it is in the “Close” position

to brew your coffee (C).

Note: Coffee may overflow if the brew-thru lid is not properly in

place.

5. Place the thermal carafe on the carafe plate and plug in the unit.
6. Press the “ON” button to start the brewing cycle. Once the brewing

indicator light lights up, the brewing cycle begins.

9. To pour coffee, align the arrow on the brew-thru lid with the

“Pour” arrow on the handle of the thermal carafe by turning

the lid counterclockwise (D).

coffee.

10. Proceed to serve the coffee.
11. Once you finish serving the coffee, close the lid again by turning

it clockwise.

12. Put the thermal carafe back on the carafe plate.
Note: The thermal carafe keeps the coffee hot. Make sure the brew-thru lid is always in

the close position after every use. This allows the coffee to stay hot longer.

clockwise until it is in the “Close” position (F).

4. Immediately replace the thermal carafe back on the carafe plate

so that brewing can continue.

Important: To avoid possible overflow after removing the
