Setup

1. Unboxing and Initial Cleaning

Upon receiving your avigator coffee maker, carefully remove all packaging materials. Before first use, it is recommended to perform a cleaning cycle without coffee.

1. Remove the glass carafe, reusable filter, and filter basket. Wash them with warm, soapy water, then rinse thoroughly.
2. Wipe the exterior of the coffee maker with a damp cloth.
3. Place the reusable filter and filter basket back into the machine.
4. Fill the water tank with clean water up to the MAX line.
5. Place the empty glass carafe on the warming plate.
6. Turn the knob to the 'Single Brew Mode' (usually indicated by a coffee cup icon or a low number like '1' or '2' for a small amount of water) and press the power button to start a brewing cycle with just water.
7. Once the cycle is complete, discard the water and rinse the carafe. Your coffee maker is now ready for use.

2. 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 unit.

Operating Instructions

1. Adding Water

1. Open the water tank lid located at the back of the machine.
2. Fill the glass carafe with the desired amount of fresh, cold water (refer to the cup markings on the carafe).
3. Pour the water from the carafe into the water tank. The visible water level indicator will show the amount of water added. Do not exceed the MAX fill line.
4. Close the water tank lid securely.

2. Adding Coffee

Your avigator coffee maker offers two options for coffee preparation:

Option A: Using Whole Coffee Beans (Grind & Brew)

1. Open the lid of the bean tank located on top of the machine.
2. Pour the desired amount of whole coffee beans into the bean tank. The tank has a capacity of 120g.
3. Adjust the grind adjustment dial (located inside the bean tank) to select your preferred coarseness (Coarse, Medium, Fine).
4. Close the bean tank lid.

Figure 4: The ceramic burr grinder allows for adjustment of grind coarseness to Coarse, Medium, or Fine.

Option B: Using Pre-Ground Coffee

1. Open the filter basket compartment.
2. Using the provided measuring spoon, add the desired amount of pre-ground coffee directly into the reusable filter. Do not overfill.
3. Close the filter basket compartment.

Figure 5: The coffee maker supports both whole bean and pre-ground coffee input.

3. Starting the Brew Cycle

1. Ensure the glass carafe is correctly placed on the warming plate.
2. Turn the intuitive knob on the front panel to select the desired number of cups (1-10). This also determines the grinding amount if using whole beans.
3. Press the power/brew button. The indicator light will illuminate, and the machine will begin the grind (if applicable) and brew process.
4. Once brewing is complete, the machine will automatically switch to the warming plate function, keeping your coffee warm for up to 30 minutes before auto-shutoff.

Maintenance and Cleaning

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

1. Daily Cleaning

1. Unplug the machine: Always ensure the coffee maker is unplugged and cooled down before cleaning.
2. Clean the filter and carafe: Remove the reusable filter and glass carafe. Discard used coffee grounds. Wash both with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. They are not dishwasher safe.
3. Wipe exterior: Wipe the exterior surfaces of the coffee maker with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

2. Cleaning the Powder Path (Auto & Manual)

The coffee maker features an auto powder path self-cleaning function after each use. For deeper cleaning:

1. Turn the knob to the 'Clean Powder Path' option (indicated by a brush icon).
2. Press the power button. The machine will run a short cycle to clear any remaining powder.
3. For thorough cleaning, open the filter compartment and use the provided cleaning brush to swipe out any remaining powder inside the chute.

3. Descaling (Monthly or as needed)

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

1. Fill the water tank with a mixture of white vinegar and water (1:2 ratio) up to the MAX line.
2. Place the empty carafe on the warming plate.
3. Run a full brew cycle.
4. After the cycle, let the machine sit for 15-20 minutes.
5. Run two full cycles with fresh, clean water to rinse out any vinegar residue.
