Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
2. First Use Cleaning: Before first use, clean all removable parts (carafe, filter basket) with warm soapy water. Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a damp cloth.
3. Positioning: Place the coffee machine on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface, away from water sources and direct heat.
4. Power Connection: Ensure the appliance is unplugged. Plug the power cord into a suitable 230V electrical outlet.
5. Initial Rinse Cycle: Fill the water reservoir with cold water up to the maximum level. Place an empty filter paper in the filter basket. Run a brewing cycle without coffee grounds to clean the internal components. Discard the water.

Operating Instructions

1. Fill Water Reservoir: Open the lid of the water reservoir and fill it with fresh, cold water according to the desired number of cups. The water level indicator on the side helps with accurate measurement. The maximum capacity is 1 liter, suitable for 8 to 10 cups.
2. Insert Filter: Place a standard paper filter (size 1x4 or similar, depending on model specifics) into the removable filter basket.
3. Add Coffee Grounds: Add the desired amount of ground coffee into the filter. A general guideline is one tablespoon of coffee per cup, adjust to taste.
4. Position Carafe: Ensure the insulated carafe is correctly placed on the warming plate, with its lid securely closed. The anti-drip feature prevents dripping when the carafe is removed during brewing.
5. Start Brewing: Press the ON/OFF button. The indicator light will illuminate, signifying that the brewing process has started.
6. Brewing Complete: Once all the water has passed through and the brewing cycle is complete, the appliance will automatically switch off. The insulated carafe will keep the coffee warm.
7. Serve: Carefully remove the carafe and pour the freshly brewed coffee.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your coffee machine.

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, unplug the appliance. Remove the filter basket and the carafe. Wash them with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Wipe the exterior of the coffee machine with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Descaling: Depending on water hardness, descale the appliance regularly (e.g., every 2-4 weeks).
  1. Fill the water reservoir with a descaling solution (e.g., white vinegar and water in a 1:2 ratio, or a commercial descaler).
  2. Place an empty filter paper in the filter basket.
  3. Run a brewing cycle.
  4. After the cycle, let the solution sit in the carafe for 15-30 minutes.
  5. Discard the solution and rinse the carafe and filter basket thoroughly.
  6. Run 2-3 cycles with fresh, clean water to rinse out any remaining descaling solution.
• Storage: If storing the appliance for an extended period, ensure it is clean and dry. Store it in a cool, dry place.
