Using the Programmable Timer

The 24-hour programmable timer allows you to set a specific time for the coffee machine to start brewing automatically.

2. To program the brew time: Press the 'PROG' button. The display will show 'PROG'.
3. Use the 'HOUR' and 'MIN' buttons to set your desired start time for brewing.
4. Press the 'PROG' button again to confirm the programmed time. The 'PROG' indicator light will illuminate.
5. To activate the programmed brew, press the 'ON/OFF' button. The 'ON' light will flash, indicating that the machine is set to start at the programmed time.
6. The machine will automatically start brewing at the set time.

Anti-Drip Function

The anti-drip feature allows you to temporarily remove the carafe during the brewing cycle to pour a cup of coffee. The flow of coffee will pause automatically. Replace the carafe within 20 seconds to prevent overflow from the filter basket.

Automatic Shut-Off

For safety and energy conservation, the coffee machine is equipped with an automatic shut-off function. After the brewing cycle is complete, the warming plate will keep the coffee warm for approximately 120 minutes (2 hours) and then automatically shut off.

Strong Brew Function

For a bolder coffee flavor, press the 'STRONG' button before starting the brew cycle. The 'STRONG' indicator light will illuminate, and the machine will adjust the brewing process for a more intense extraction.

Maintenance

Daily Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and taste.

1. Always unplug the coffee machine before cleaning and allow it to cool completely.
2. Remove the filter basket and reusable filter. Discard used coffee grounds.
3. Wash the glass carafe, filter basket, and reusable filter in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. These parts are generally top-rack dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended for longevity.
4. Wipe the exterior of the coffee machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
5. Do not immerse the main unit, cord, or plug in water or any other liquid.

Descaling (Cleaning Function)

Mineral deposits (limescale) can build up in your coffee machine over time, affecting performance and coffee taste. Descale your machine every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you have hard water.

1. Fill the water reservoir to the '5 CUP' mark with a mixture of white vinegar and water (e.g., 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water).
2. Place the empty reusable filter into the filter basket and close the lid.
3. Place the empty glass carafe on the warming plate.
4. Press the 'CLEAN' button. The 'CLEAN' indicator light will illuminate, and the machine will begin a special descaling cycle.
5. Allow the cycle to complete. The machine may pause during the cycle to allow the descaling solution to work.
6. Once the 'CLEAN' light turns off, discard the vinegar solution from the carafe.
7. Run 2-3 full cycles with fresh, cold water only to rinse out any remaining vinegar taste.
