Operating Instructions

Brewing Coffee

1. Open the top lid and fill the water reservoir with fresh, cold water using the glass carafe. Refer to the water level markings on the reservoir. Do not exceed the 12-cup (1.8L) maximum fill line.
2. Place the permanent filter into the filter basket. Add the desired amount of ground coffee into the permanent filter. A general guideline is one tablespoon of coffee grounds per cup, but adjust to your taste.
3. Close the top lid securely.
4. Place the empty glass carafe onto the warming plate. Ensure it is properly seated to activate the anti-drip mechanism.
5. Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.
6. Press the ON/OFF button. The indicator light will illuminate, and the brewing process will begin.
7. Once brewing is complete, the coffee maker will automatically switch to the keep-warm function.

2. Set Program Time: Press the PROG button once. The display will show "PROG" and flash. Use the HOUR and MINUTE buttons to set your desired brew start time.
3. Press the PROG button again to confirm the program time. The display will return to the current time.

5. To cancel the programmed brew, press the ON/OFF button again. The "AUTO" indicator light will turn off.

Keep Warm Function

After brewing, the coffee maker's non-stick warming plate will automatically keep your coffee warm for more than 40 minutes before automatically shutting off for safety.

Anti-Drip System

The anti-drip system allows you to temporarily remove the carafe during the brewing cycle to pour a cup of coffee. The flow of coffee will pause automatically. Replace the carafe within 30 seconds to prevent overflow from the filter basket.

Maintenance

Daily Cleaning

• Always unplug the coffee maker before cleaning and allow it to cool completely.
• Wash the glass carafe, permanent filter, and filter basket in warm, soapy water after each use. These parts are also top-rack dishwasher safe.
• Wipe the exterior of the coffee maker with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
• Do not immerse the coffee maker base in water or any other liquid.

Descaling

Mineral deposits (limescale) can build up in your coffee maker over time, affecting its performance and coffee taste. Descale your coffee maker regularly, depending on water hardness and frequency of use (e.g., every 2-4 weeks).

1. Prepare a descaling solution: Mix white vinegar and water in a 1:2 ratio (e.g., 1 cup vinegar to 2 cups water). Fill the water reservoir with this solution up to the 12-cup mark.
2. Place the empty permanent filter and filter basket into position. Place the empty glass carafe on the warming plate.
3. Press the ON/OFF button to start a brewing cycle. Allow half of the solution to brew through, then press ON/OFF to pause the cycle.
4. Let the coffee maker sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the solution to work on the deposits.
5. Press ON/OFF again to complete the brewing cycle. Discard the solution from the carafe.
6. Run 2-3 cycles with fresh, clean water only to rinse out any remaining descaling solution and odor.
