Operating Instructions

1. Fill Water Reservoir: Open the top lid and fill the water reservoir with fresh, cold water up to the desired number of cups indicated on the side.

8. Pause & Serve: During brewing, you can temporarily remove the carafe to pour a cup. The brewing will pause automatically. Return the carafe within 20 seconds to prevent overflow.
9. After Brewing: Once brewing is complete, the coffee maker will automatically switch to keep-warm mode. The warming plate will keep coffee hot for a set period before auto shut-off.

Maintenance

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, discard used coffee grounds and rinse the reusable filter and filter basket. The carafe, reusable filter, and filter basket are dishwasher-safe (top rack recommended).
• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the coffee maker with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

Press the "CLEAN" button. The "CLEAN" indicator light will illuminate, and the unit will run a descaling cycle. Repeat if necessary.
