5. Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials from the coffee maker and its accessories.
- Clean: Before first use, wipe the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth. Wash the coffee pot and any removable filter with warm, soapy water, then rinse thoroughly and dry.
- Placement: Place the coffee maker on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from water sources and direct heat. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit.
- Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the specifications of the appliance (600W).
- First Use Rinse: It is recommended to perform a rinse cycle without coffee. Fill the pot with water to the maximum level, place it on the heating base, and run a brewing cycle. Discard this water.
6. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to brew Turkish coffee:
- Add Water: Fill the coffee pot with the desired amount of cold water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line indicated inside the pot.
- Add Coffee: For each cup of Turkish coffee, add approximately one to two teaspoons of finely ground Turkish coffee to the pot. Sugar can be added at this stage if desired.
- Stir: Gently stir the coffee, water, and sugar (if used) until well combined. Do not stir vigorously.
- Place Pot: Place the coffee pot securely onto the heating base of the machine.
- Select Program: The digital display will show options for "COFFEE WATER" or "MILK". Select the appropriate coffee brewing program. The machine is designed to detect the water level and adjust brewing time.
- Start Brewing: Press the start button (often indicated by a coffee cup icon or power symbol). The machine will begin the brewing process.
- Monitor: The digital display may show a countdown or progress indicator. The machine will automatically stop when the coffee is ready, typically indicated by an audible signal and/or light indicator.
- Serve: Carefully remove the coffee pot from the base using the handle. Pour the Turkish coffee into small cups immediately. Avoid stirring after brewing to preserve the foam.
- Power Off: Unplug the appliance from the power outlet after use.

7. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your coffee maker.
- Unplug: Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Coffee Pot: Wash the coffee pot with warm, soapy water after each use. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the surface.
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the coffee maker and the heating base with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Do Not Immerse: Never immerse the main unit or power cord in water or any other liquid.
- Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits may accumulate. If brewing time increases or performance decreases, descale the machine using a descaling solution suitable for coffee makers, following the product's instructions. Alternatively, a mixture of water and white vinegar can be used (e.g., 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water), run through a brewing cycle, then rinse with several cycles of plain water.
