Setup Instructions

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Remove any stickers or promotional materials from the appliance.
2. Initial Cleaning: Wash the carafe, pod holder, reusable filter, and removable water reservoir in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Wipe the exterior of the brewer with a soft, damp cloth.
3. Positioning: Place the coffee maker on a flat, stable surface. Ensure it is away from the edge of the counter and any heat sources.
4. First Brew Cycle (Cleaning):
   • Fill the removable water reservoir with fresh, cold water up to the MAX fill line.
   • Place the empty thermal carafe on the warming plate.
   • For carafe brewing, ensure the filter basket is empty (no coffee grounds or filter paper).

   • Press the "Brew Now" button for carafe brewing or select a single-serve size and press "Brew Now" for single-serve. Allow the full water reservoir to cycle through the machine. Discard the water.
   • Repeat this process once more to ensure the machine is thoroughly cleaned.

Maintenance

1. Daily Cleaning

• After each use, discard any used coffee grounds or pods.

2. Descaling (Monthly or as needed)

Mineral deposits from water can build up in your coffee maker and affect its performance. Descale your brewer regularly:

1. Prepare Solution: Fill the water reservoir with 1 part white vinegar and 2 parts cold water.
2. Run Cycle: Place the empty carafe on the warming plate. Run a full carafe brewing cycle with the vinegar solution.
