2. Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials from the coffee maker. Ensure all components are present: main unit, glass carafe, and reusable filter basket.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the glass carafe and reusable filter basket in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Wipe the exterior of the coffee maker with a damp cloth.
3. First Brew Cycle (Cleaning):
   • Fill the water reservoir with clean water up to the 12-cup mark.

   • Place the empty carafe on the warming plate.

3. Operating Instructions

1. Filling the Water Reservoir: Open the top lid and pour fresh, cold water into the reservoir. Use the water level indicator on the side to fill to your desired number of cups (up to 12 cups / 60oz). Do not exceed the MAX fill line.

2. Adding Coffee Grounds: Place the reusable filter basket into its holder. Add the desired amount of ground coffee into the filter. A general guideline is one tablespoon of coffee grounds per cup. Adjust to your taste. Close the top lid securely.
3. Placing the Carafe: Ensure the glass carafe is properly seated on the warming plate.
4. Brewing Coffee:
   • Standard Brew: Press the ON/OFF button once. The indicator light will illuminate, and brewing will begin.
   • Strong Brew: Press the STRONG button before pressing ON/OFF. The strong brew indicator will light up, and the brewing process will be slower to extract a bolder flavor.
5. Anti-Drip Feature: The anti-drip system allows you to temporarily remove the carafe during the brewing cycle to pour a cup of coffee. The flow of coffee will pause automatically. Return the carafe to the warming plate within 20 seconds to prevent overflow.
6. Keep Warm Function: After brewing, the built-in warming plate will automatically maintain the coffee at an optimal temperature for up to 40 minutes. After 40 minutes, the coffee maker will automatically shut off for safety and energy saving. Caution: The warming plate can become hot during and after operation.

   • Press the PROG button. The display will show "PROG" and the time will flash.
   • Use the HOUR and MIN buttons to set your desired brew start time.
   • Press the PROG button again to confirm the setting. The display will return to the current time, and a small clock icon or "PROG" indicator will appear, signifying the auto-brew is set.
   • At the set time, the coffee maker will automatically begin brewing.

4. Maintenance and Cleaning

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

1. Daily Cleaning:
