Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and ensure all parts are present.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the thermal carafe, permanent filter, and filter holder in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Wipe the exterior of the coffee maker with a damp cloth.
3. First Brew Cycle (without coffee):
   • Fill the water tank to the MAX level with fresh, cold water.
   • Place the empty permanent filter into the filter holder, and ensure the thermal carafe is correctly positioned on the warming plate.
   • Plug the coffee maker into a suitable power outlet.
   • Press the power button to start a brewing cycle. Allow the full cycle to complete.
   • Discard the water from the carafe. This process cleans the internal components and removes any manufacturing residues.

Operating Instructions

1. Fill Water Tank: Open the lid and fill the water tank with fresh, cold water up to the desired number of cups, using the water level indicator. Do not exceed the MAX line.
2. Add Coffee Grounds: Place the permanent filter into the filter holder. Add the desired amount of ground coffee. A general guideline is one tablespoon of coffee per cup, but adjust to your taste. Close the lid securely.

4. Start Brewing Immediately: Press the power button (⏻) to begin brewing. The indicator light will illuminate. The optimal brewing temperature of 92-96°C ensures excellent aroma.
5. Using the Timer Function:

   • To set a delayed brew time, press the TIMER button. The display will show "TIMER". Use the dial to set the desired start time for brewing. Press the TIMER button again to activate. The timer indicator will light up. The coffee maker will start brewing automatically at the set time.

Maintenance and Cleaning

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

1. Daily Cleaning:
   • Unplug the coffee maker and allow it to cool completely.
   • Remove the permanent filter and filter holder. Discard used coffee grounds. Wash the filter, filter holder, and thermal carafe in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. The filter can be easily removed using its handle.
   • Wipe the exterior of the coffee maker with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
2. Descaling: Mineral deposits from water can build up over time and affect performance. Descale your coffee maker every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you have hard water.
   • Prepare a descaling solution according to the manufacturer's instructions (e.g., white vinegar and water, or a commercial descaling agent).
   • Pour the solution into the water tank.
   • Place the empty carafe on the base.
   • Run a brewing cycle.
   • After the cycle, let the solution sit in the carafe for 15-30 minutes.
   • Discard the solution and rinse the carafe and water tank thoroughly with fresh water.
   • Run 2-3 cycles with fresh water only to rinse out any remaining descaling solution.
