Operating Instructions
Brewing Coffee

- Open the top lid and fill the water reservoir with fresh, cold water up to the desired level, using the water level indicator on the side. Do not exceed the '12 Max' mark.
- Place the permanent filter into the filter basket. If using a paper filter (size 1x4), place it inside the permanent filter or directly into the filter basket.
- Add the desired amount of ground coffee to the filter. A general guideline is one scoop (approximately 7 grams) per cup. Adjust to your taste.
- Close the top lid securely.
- Place the empty glass carafe on the warming plate. Ensure it is correctly positioned to activate the drip-stop mechanism.
- Plug the coffee maker into a grounded electrical outlet. The display will show '00:00'.
- To start brewing immediately, press the Power button (U). The indicator light will illuminate, and brewing will begin.

- First, set the current time: Press the 'H' (Hour) button to set the hour and the 'M' (Minute) button to set the minutes. The clock operates in a 24-hour format.
- To set the automatic brewing time, press the 'P' (Program) button once. The display will flash.
- Use the 'H' and 'M' buttons to set the desired time for brewing to start.
- Press the 'P' button again to confirm the programmed time. The indicator light next to the 'P' button will illuminate, indicating that the timer is active.
- The coffee maker will automatically start brewing at the set time.
Keep Warm Function
After brewing is complete, the coffee maker will automatically switch to a keep-warm function. The warming plate will keep the coffee hot for approximately 40 minutes, after which the appliance will automatically shut off for safety and energy saving.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your coffee maker.
Daily Cleaning
- Always unplug the coffee maker and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Wash the glass carafe, filter basket, and permanent filter in warm, soapy water after each use. Rinse thoroughly and dry. These parts are not dishwasher safe.
- Wipe the exterior of the coffee maker with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may scratch the surface.
- Do not immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid.
Descaling
Mineral deposits from water can build up in your coffee maker over time, affecting its performance and coffee taste. Descale your coffee maker every 2-4 months, or more frequently if you have hard water.
- Fill the water reservoir with a descaling solution (e.g., white vinegar and water in a 1:2 ratio, or a commercial descaling agent) according to the descaler's instructions.
- Place an empty glass carafe on the warming plate.
- Run a brewing cycle with the descaling solution.
- After the cycle, let the solution sit in the carafe for approximately 15 minutes.
- Discard the solution and rinse the carafe thoroughly.
- Fill the water reservoir with fresh, cold water and run 2-3 full brewing cycles with water only to rinse out any remaining descaling solution.
