Operating Instructions

Brewing a Full Carafe (12 Cups):

8. Keep Warm: The warming plate will keep coffee warm for 4 hours, then automatically shut off.

Brewing a Single Serve (6-14 oz):

1. Prepare Mesh Scoop: Open the single-serve brew basket cover. Place the included mesh scoop into the holder.
2. Add Coffee Grounds: Add your desired amount of ground coffee to the mesh scoop. Do not overfill.

Maintenance and Cleaning

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

Daily Cleaning:

• Carafe and Lid: Wash the glass carafe and lid in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher (top rack only).
• Brew Baskets & Mesh Scoop: Remove and rinse the carafe brew basket and single-serve mesh scoop after each use. Wash in hot, soapy water.
• Wipe Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the coffee maker, warming plate, and control panel with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

Descaling (Monthly or as needed):

Mineral deposits from water can build up over time, affecting performance. Descale your coffee maker regularly.

1. Prepare Solution: Fill the carafe water reservoir with 1 cup of white vinegar and 2 cups of cold water.
2. Run Cycle: Place an empty paper filter in the carafe brew basket and the empty carafe on the warming plate. Run a full brew cycle.
3. Soak: After the cycle, let the coffee maker sit for 20-30 minutes with the vinegar solution inside.
4. Rinse Cycles: Discard the vinegar solution. Run 2-3 full brew cycles with only fresh, cold water to rinse thoroughly.
