Setup

1. Unpacking

1. Carefully remove all packaging materials from the coffee maker.
2. Ensure all parts are present: main unit, glass carafe, permanent filter, and filter basket.
3. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.

2. Before First Use

1. Wash the carafe, permanent filter, and filter basket in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
2. Wipe the exterior of the coffee maker with a damp cloth.
3. To clean the internal components, fill the water tank with clean water to the maximum level. Run a brewing cycle without coffee grounds. Discard the water. Repeat this process 2-3 times.

3. Placement

Place the coffee maker on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface, away from the edge of the counter and out of reach of children. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the appliance.

Operating Instructions

1. Filling the Water Tank

1. Ensure the coffee maker is unplugged.
2. Remove the removable water tank.
3. Fill the water tank with fresh, cold water up to the desired level, not exceeding the "MAX" mark (560ml).
4. Place the water tank back onto the coffee maker securely.

2. Adding Coffee Grounds

1. Open the lid of the filter basket compartment.
2. Place the permanent filter into the filter basket.
3. Add the desired amount of ground coffee into the permanent filter. A general guideline is one tablespoon of coffee grounds per cup (approximately 150ml). Adjust to taste.
4. Close the lid securely.

3. Brewing Coffee

1. Place the empty glass carafe onto the warming plate.
2. Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.
3. Press the "One Touch Operation" button to start the brewing process. The indicator light will illuminate.
4. The coffee maker will automatically brew the coffee. Once brewing is complete, the indicator light may change or turn off, and the appliance will switch to the "Keep Warm" function.

4. Keep Warm Function

After brewing, the coffee maker automatically enters the "Keep Warm" mode, maintaining the coffee's temperature for a period. The warming plate will remain hot during this time. Always unplug the appliance when the warming function is no longer needed or after 30 minutes to ensure optimal coffee quality and safety.

Maintenance and Cleaning

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

1. Daily Cleaning

1. Always unplug the coffee maker and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Remove the permanent filter and discard used coffee grounds. Rinse the permanent filter and filter basket under running water.
3. Wash the glass carafe and its lid in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
4. Wipe the exterior surfaces of the coffee maker with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
5. Do not immerse the main unit, power cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.

2. Descaling (Mineral Deposit Removal)

Mineral deposits (calcium) can build up in your coffee maker over time, affecting its performance. Descale your coffee maker every 2-4 weeks, depending on water hardness and frequency of use.

1. Fill the water tank with a mixture of white vinegar and water (1 part vinegar to 2 parts water).
2. Place the carafe on the warming plate.
3. Start a brewing cycle without coffee grounds.
4. After about half the mixture has brewed through, turn off the coffee maker and let it stand for 15-20 minutes to allow the solution to work.
5. Turn the coffee maker back on and let the remaining mixture brew through.
6. Discard the vinegar solution.
7. Run 2-3 full cycles with fresh, clean water to rinse out any remaining vinegar taste or odor.
