Additional Safeguards

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE, IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS DAMAGE OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from it being grabbed by children, becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord.

Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If an extension cord is used:

• The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding 3-wire cord; and
• The longer cord should be arranged so that it does not drape over the countertop or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Polarized plug

• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
• Do not let children handle or put the electrical cord into their mouths.

Hints and Tips

• As a general rule, one measuring scoop of ground coffee equals one cup.
• It is recommended to avoid placing the appliance under cabinets, as rising steam can cause damage to wooden furniture.
• Empty the Drip Tray after each use to prevent it from overflowing.
• Use a suitable thermal cup/mug to keep your coffee hot for longer.
• Regularly clean the appliance. Always use fresh, cold water in the coffee maker.
• Store unused ground coffee in a cool, dry place. After opening a container of ground coffee, reseal it tightly and store it in a refrigerator to maintain its freshness.
• For an optimum coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and finely grind them just before brewing.
• Do not reuse ground coffee since this will greatly reduce the coffee flavor. Reheating coffee is not recommended as coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after brewing.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper maintenance will ensure many years of service from your appliance. Clean the appliance after every use. The appliance contains no user serviceable parts and requires little maintenance. Leave any servicing or repairs to qualified personnel.

WARNING: Always disconnect the Plug from the wall outlet before cleaning. Allow all parts of the appliance to cool down completely. The underside of the Single Serve Lid and the Capsule Holder both contain sharp needles. Use caution when handling and during cleaning. Do not touch the needles.

NOTE:

• Do not immerse the power cord with Plug and appliance into water or any other liquids.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool or scouring pads. Dry all parts thoroughly after cleaning, before using or storing the appliance. Ensure that no water enters the appliance.
• Remove the Drip Tray with Cup Holder, Ground Coffee Holder, Capsule Holder and Brew Basket from the appliance. These parts can be washed in hot soapy water.
• Wipe the seal on the needle on the underside of the Lid with a damp cloth. Do not attempt to remove the seal.
• Clean the appliance and Keep Warm Plate with a clean, slightly damp cloth.
• Clean the Carafe, Brew Basket in hot, soapy water.
• To remove stains from the Carafe, fill with hot water and add baking soda or mild cleaning agent. For stubborn stains, leave to soak overnight.
• Clean all accessories after each use.
• Clean the appliance Housing, Lids, Brew Basket Housing and Brew Chamber with a damp sponge or cloth.

NOTE: Always clean all parts that have come into contact with food in soapy water immediately after use and before storage. Dry all parts and surfaces thoroughly before use. Make sure that all parts and surfaces are completely dry before connecting the appliance to a wall outlet. Do not dry the inside of the Water Reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.

Descaling

To keep your appliance operating effectively, periodically descale your appliance to remove any build-up of lime scale. When the water system has excessive scale build-up, the appliance is still going to run until the Water Reservoir is emptied, but due to the scaling, the flow rate will be slowed and the brewing cycle time will increase.

We recommend removing lime scale deposits as follows:

• Please use a household descaler. Fill the Brewer Water Reservoir with fresh water and descaler up to the 12 MAX marking. Fill the Water Reservoir with fresh water and descaler up to the 14 oz marking. For details refer to the instructions of descaler.
• Alternatively, you can use white vinegar instead of household descaler. The ratio of water and white vinegar is 2:1.
• Ensure the Brew Basket is inserted into the Brew Basket Housing without filter and the Brewer Lid is properly closed.
• Ensure the Ground Coffee Holder or Capsule Holder is placed in the Brew Chamber without coffee/capsule and the Release Lever is placed in the lock position.
• Place the Carafe on the Keep Warm Plate.
• Place the Drip Tray with Cup Holder onto the appliance.
• Place a large mug onto the Cup Holder.
• Insert the Plug into a wall outlet.
• For the brewer side: Press the BREW Button to start the brewing process. The BREW Button is steady on. When the Carafe contains 1 cup of solution, press the ON/OFF Button to cancel the process.
