Operating Instructions

Brewing Coffee (Hot or Iced)

1. Prepare Water: Open the water reservoir lid and fill with fresh, cold water. For iced coffee, you may fill with less water to account for ice, or use the recommended amount for a stronger brew over ice. Do not exceed the MAX fill line (350ml).
2. Add Coffee Grounds: Place the nylon filter into the brew basket. Add your desired amount of ground coffee (typically 1-2 scoops using the provided coffee scoop) into the filter. Close the brew basket lid securely.
3. Position Tumbler: Place the included 600ml tumbler (or your preferred travel mug) on the drip tray, ensuring it is centered under the coffee dispenser. For iced coffee, add ice to the tumbler before brewing.
4. Start Brewing: Plug the coffee maker into a standard electrical outlet. Press the brewing switch/button to start the brewing cycle. The indicator light will illuminate.
5. Automatic Shut-off: The coffee maker will automatically shut off once the brewing cycle is complete. The indicator light will turn off.
6. Serve: Carefully remove the tumbler. If brewing iced coffee, stir gently. Enjoy your freshly brewed coffee.

Note: The coffee maker is designed for single-serve use. Do not attempt to brew multiple cups consecutively without allowing the unit to cool down for a few minutes.

Maintenance and Cleaning

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

1. Unplug: Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Wash Removable Parts: The tumbler, lid, straw, and brew basket with nylon filter can be washed in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. These parts are generally top-rack dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended for longevity.
3. Clean Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the coffee maker with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
4. Descaling (Monthly or Bi-Monthly): Depending on water hardness, mineral deposits can build up. To descale, fill the water reservoir with a mixture of white vinegar and water (1:2 ratio). Run a brew cycle without coffee grounds. Repeat with clean water to rinse.
5. Storage: Ensure all parts are clean and dry before storing the coffee maker in a cool, dry place.

Caution: Never immerse the main coffee maker unit in water or any other liquid.
