4.2 Adding Coffee (Whole Beans)

If using whole coffee beans, open the bean hopper lid. Adjust the grinder knob to your desired grind size (fine, medium, coarse). Pour whole coffee beans into the hopper. The machine can hold enough beans for 2-5 cups. Close the bean hopper lid.

4.3 Adding Coffee (Pre-Ground)

If using pre-ground coffee, open the filter basket compartment. Place the reusable mesh filter into the filter basket holder. Use the provided plastic spoon to add your desired amount of pre-ground coffee to the filter. Close the filter basket compartment securely.

4.4 Brewing Coffee

1. Place the glass carafe with its lid on the warming plate.
2. Plug the coffee maker into a power outlet.
3. Use the control panel to select your desired settings:
• Mode: Select 'Bean' for whole beans (grind & brew) or 'Powder' for pre-ground coffee (brew only).
• Aroma: Choose 'Mild', 'Medium', or 'Strong' for coffee strength.
• Temp: Select 'Ice', 'Normal', or 'High' for brewing temperature.
• Cups: Select the number of cups (X2-X5 for small cups, M1-M2 for larger mugs).
4. Press the 'Drip' button to start the brewing process. The machine will automatically grind (if 'Bean' mode is selected) and then brew your coffee.

4.5 Programmable Brewing (Timer Function)

To enjoy fresh coffee at a specific time, use the programmable timer:

1. Prepare the coffee maker with water and coffee (beans or ground) as described above.
2. Press the 'Time' button on the control panel.
3. Use the 'Hour' and 'Min' buttons to set your desired brew time (up to 24 hours in advance).
4. Once the time is set, the machine will display a clock icon, indicating the timer is active. It will automatically start brewing at the programmed time.

4.6 Keep Warm Function

After brewing, the warming plate will automatically activate to keep your coffee at an optimal temperature. This function will typically last for a set period (e.g., 30 minutes) before automatically shutting off to save energy.

5. Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your coffee maker.

5.1 Daily Cleaning

5.2 Descaling

Descaling is recommended every 2 months to remove mineral deposits and maintain brewing efficiency.

1. Add descaling agent (e.g., white vinegar or a commercial descaling solution) and water to the water tank. The water level should not exceed the maximum scale mark.
2. Place the empty glass carafe on the warming plate.
3. Plug in the machine and turn it on.

5. Once the cycle is complete, clean any limescale residue from the filter and carafe.
6. Refill the water tank with the maximum amount of clean water. Select the 'C2' cleaning mode again and brew to remove any remaining descaling solution. Repeat this step if necessary.
7. Finally, turn off the machine and unplug it.
