4. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

Brewing Coffee

1. Fill Water Reservoir: Open the lid and pour fresh, cold water into the water reservoir. Do not exceed the MAX fill line (420ml / 14oz). The reservoir has markings for 8, 10, 12, and 14 oz.
2. Add Coffee: Place the reusable filter basket into its designated slot. Add your desired amount of ground coffee into the filter. For best results, use medium-ground coffee. This machine is optimized for ground coffee and coffee pads, but not compatible with K-cup capsules.
3. Place Mug: Place the included stainless steel travel mug or your preferred coffee mug (up to 14oz capacity) under the coffee outlet. Ensure it is centered to prevent spills.
4. Start Brewing: Press the "ON/OFF" button to start the brewing process. The indicator light will illuminate. Brewing typically takes 3-4 minutes.
5. Enjoy: Once brewing is complete, the machine will automatically switch off. Carefully remove your mug and enjoy your fresh coffee.

Descaling (Self-Cleaning Function)

• Press and hold the "HOUR" + "MIN" buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds to activate the self-cleaning cycle.
