Operating Instructions
- Fill Water Tank: Open the lid of the water tank and fill it with fresh, cold water up to the desired level. The carafe has markings for easy measurement. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
- Insert Filter and Coffee: Place a No. 4 paper filter into the filter basket. Add your desired amount of ground coffee (approximately 7-8 grams per cup, adjust to taste). Close the filter basket securely.
- Place Carafe: Ensure the glass carafe with its lid is correctly placed on the heating plate.
- Start Brewing: Press the power button to start the brewing process. The coffee maker features a 'bloom' function, which pre-wets the coffee grounds to extract full flavor before the main brewing cycle begins.
- Keep Warm Function: After brewing, the coffee maker will automatically switch to a keep-warm mode for up to 30 minutes. The heating plate will keep the coffee at an optimal serving temperature.
- Timer Function: To program a delayed start, refer to the detailed instructions in the full user manual for setting the timer.

Maintenance
- Daily Cleaning: After each use, discard the used coffee filter and grounds. Wash the glass carafe and filter basket with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. The exterior of the coffee maker can be wiped with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers.
- Descaling: The ZWILLING ENFINIGY Drip Coffee Maker features a smart descaling function. When the descaling indicator light illuminates, it's time to descale the appliance. Follow these steps:
- Fill the water tank with a descaling solution according to the manufacturer's instructions (e.g., a mixture of water and white vinegar or a commercial descaling agent).
- Place an empty carafe on the heating plate.
- Activate the descaling program (refer to the full manual for specific button presses).
- After the descaling cycle is complete, run two to three cycles with fresh water only to rinse the system thoroughly.
Regular descaling is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and extending the lifespan of your coffee maker.
