2. Placement: Place the brewer on a stable, level surface away from walls and heat-sensitive materials. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
3. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the glass carafes and brew basket with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly. Wipe down the exterior of the brewer with a damp cloth.
4. Water Bottle Installation: Place a standard 3 or 5-gallon bottled water jug onto the top reservoir of the brewer. Ensure it is seated correctly to prevent leaks. The brewer is designed for use with bottled water and does not require plumbing.
