Setup

1. Unpacking:

Carefully remove the coffee maker and all its components from the packaging. Dispose of all packaging materials responsibly.

2. Initial Cleaning:

Before first use, clean all removable parts (carafe, filter basket, permanent filter) in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Wipe the exterior of the coffee maker with a damp cloth.

3. First Use (Cleaning Cycle):

To ensure optimal performance and remove any manufacturing residues, run a cleaning cycle without coffee.

1. Fill the water reservoir with clean water up to the 12-cup mark.
2. Place the empty permanent filter or a paper filter into the filter basket.
3. Place the carafe on the heater plate.
4. Plug the coffee maker into a standard electrical outlet.
5. Press the ON/OFF switch. The LED indicator will illuminate.
6. Allow the full cycle to complete. Discard the water from the carafe.
7. Repeat this process once or twice if desired.

Operating Instructions

Brewing Coffee:

1. Fill Water Reservoir: Open the lid and fill the water reservoir with the desired amount of fresh, cold water. Use the markings on the water window for accurate measurement. Do not exceed the 12-cup MAX line.
2. Add Coffee Grounds: Place the permanent washable filter into the filter basket. Add the desired amount of ground coffee. A general guideline is one level tablespoon of ground coffee per cup, but adjust to your personal taste.

1. Always unplug the coffee maker and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

Descaling (Mineral Deposit Removal):

2. Pour the solution into the water reservoir.

5. After about 30 seconds, turn off the coffee maker and let it soak for 15-20 minutes.
6. Turn the coffee maker back on and allow the remaining solution to brew through.
7. Discard the solution from the carafe.
8. Run 2-3 cycles with clean, cold water to rinse out any remaining vinegar smell or taste.
