Making Coffee

Notes

1. Unlike traditional coffee brewers, this brewer does not contain a water reservoir. Water is pumped directly from the dispenser's hot tank to provide great tasting purified water to the brewing head.
2. The carafe, filter basket and filter holder provided with the brewer should be cleaned with dishwashing soap and warm water before using.
3. This brewer comes with a filter basket. It can also be used with standard paper filters and is designed to use coffee ground for drip coffee makers only.

Measure and Load Coffee into Brewer

1. Open lid.
2. This module is programmed to make 2, 4 or 12 cups of coffee at the touch of a button. Determine amount of cups to be brewed.
3. Add the appropriate amount of coffee grinds to the filter basket or paper filter.
4. Close lid.

Activate Controls

1. Touch the lit green icon (?) to unlock the controls. The green circle around the icon will light up.
2. Touch the control that matches the amount of cups you want to brew - 2 ☕, 4 ☕, or 12 ☕.

   Note: You have 3 seconds to activate the desired selection. If you fail to make a selection in 3 seconds the control will automatically relock.

3. If you activate within 3 seconds, the circle around the number you selected will begin to flash indicating brewing is underway. Water from the hot tank will automatically begin flowing to the filter basket.
