Safety Precautions
Usage and cleaning
Do not tilt the carafe excessively. Do not
tilt the carafe in the opposite direction to
its spout.
Coee may leak from the top of the carafe,
causing burns.
Do not use more than 1.8 ounces of
ground coee.
If you put too much ground coee in the lter,
the brewed coee may overow, causing
burns. In addition, ground coee may be
scattered by steam, making the surrounding
area dirty. Refer to p.
9 before adding
ground coee.
Do not move the main body during hot
water ushing or brewing, or with the
carafe in place.
You may drop the carafe, causing burns and
other injuries, electric shock, or malfunction.
Do not use the appliance without the
carafe. Do not perform hot water ushing
or brewing with the carafe lid removed.
Do not use items other than the supplied
carafe, such as a cup or carafe from other
manufacturers.
Coee may overow from the dripper or hot
water may spill from the bypass brewing spout
(p. 9), causing burns.
Do not use the appliance in an RV, boat,
ship, airplane, etc.
The appliance is intended for home use. The
appliance may fall over or be dropped due to

water, milk, alcohol, coee), mineral
water with a high hardness, ground
coee, etc. in the water tank. Do not put
anything other than ground coee (such
as sugar or milk) in the dripper.
Do not put anything other than coee or
ice (such as sugar or milk) in the carafe.
Doing so may cause burns or malfunction.

Co ee may over ow, causing burns.
Empty the carafe before use.
If hot water  ushing or brewing is performed
with co ee, milk, ice, etc. in the carafe, hot
water or co ee may over ow, causing burns or
electric shock. Be sure to add ice after brewing
when making iced co ee. In addition, pay
attention to prevent co ee from over owing.

4 inches
Leave a wide space so that walls, furniture, the
ceiling, etc. will not be exposed to steam, water, or
coee discharged from the main body. Do not place
items you want to keep clean around the appliance.
The appliance generates steam while it is brewing coee.
The steam may reach more than 12 inches around and
28 inches above the nozzle. If an item around the
appliance is exposed to the steam or coee, it may be
discolored, deformed, or otherwise damaged.
2 Flushing with hot water
When using the appliance for the rst time or when the appliance

ushing the appliance with hot water.
2Flush the appliance with hot water.
Run the appliance with water only while referring to
1- 3on p. 10 to 3on p. 11.
Fill the water up to HOT on the guide line for the
size. Select the REGULAR mode and L (Large).
3Discard the water.
Discard the hot water in the carafe and water
remaining in the water tank.
Since hot water and steam are discharged during
the hot water ushing, be careful to keep your
face and hands away from the appliance.
Failure to do so may cause burns.
Dripper Carafe
1Wash the dripper and the carafe with water.
Follow the procedure in 1- 1on p. 10 to
remove the dripper. Wash the dripper and the carafe
with water.
Three Types of Modes
A new brewing system that uses a
unique method to deliver hot water
with ne temperature control
Precise control of the temperature, timing, and
amount of hot water delivered for each size and
mode setting vibrantly brings out the intrinsic features
of coee beans while minimizing bitterness and other
unpleasant tastes. The REGULAR mode also
balances rich avor with a clear aftertaste by delivering
hot water through a bypass during brewing.
Bypass brewing spout
Three modes for extracting the
individual characteristics of beans
Adjust the amount of ground coee as desired
according to the grind sizes and the roast levels.
Refer to the following as a guide.
In addition, use ground coee prepared for paper lters.
