SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord is not recommended for use
with this product, but if one must be used:
−The marked electrical rating must be at least as great as that of the product .
−Arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be tripped over or pulled.
WARNING: This product is equipped with a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other blade) to reduce the risk of
electrical shock. This is a safety feature. The plug will fit into
a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the
plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug. If the
plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an
extension cord unless you can fully insert the plug into the extension cord. Do
not alter the plug. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug.
Before First Use
IMPORTANT: Please check all packaging material carefully before discarding as there
may be accessory parts contained within the packaging material.
1. Clean the water reservoir, top cover, pod holder, and coffee filter in warm soapy
water thoroughly.
2. We recommend running the appliance twice through before first use without
coffee. This allows the dust or impurities to pass through.
WARNING: Do not immerse or place any part of the product in a dishwasher.

water.
CAUTION: Do not overfill the product or operate it when empty.

chamber.
Coffee Pod Holder:

and put the pod into the holder.

NOTE: The coffee grounds should not exceed the maximum ‘MAX’amount
indicated by the strainer.
Tips for brewing Coffee:
•You can adjust the ratio of coffee grounds to water according to your
personal taste.
•If fine coffee grounds are used with less water, the taste will be strong.
•If course coffee grounds are used with more water the taste will be light.
3. Once basket is chosen and coffee is in the basket, close the ‘Top Cover’.
4. Place the machine on a stable counter, plug the power cord into a standard
120volt AC electrical outlet. You will hear a buzz, which indicates the machine is
powered on.
5. Place a cup on base directly below the water dispenser.
6. Press the ‘Start’ button to turn on the machine.
a. After pressing the ‘Start’button, the red light will light up.
b. A buzz will sound indicating the machine has started to brew.
c. Another buzz will sound indicating the brewing process is complete.
d. The machine will automatically reset itself for the next brew.
WARNING: Do not open the top cover of the machine to avoid scalding or other
hazards while in operation mode.
7. The whole brewing process takes approximately 3 minutes if using 14 oz of water.
Once the brewing process is complete, the machine will beep five (5) times.
NOTE: Since the coffee will absorb a certain amount of water in the brewing
process, the coffee amount will be slightly less than the water that was placed in
the ‘Water Reservoir’.
8. After the first cup has finished brewing, press the ‘Start’ button again to brew a
second cup immediately after.
WARNING:If the Single Cup Coffee Maker is not completely cooled when you
place cold water in for the second cup, steam may be ejected which may cause
scalding.
9. For optimal coffee taste, it is best to drink your cup immediately after brewing.
10. Always unplug the product from the electrical outlet when it is not in use or will
be left unattended.
Tips for Great Tasting Coffee:
•Always use fresh cold water.
•For stronger or milder coffee, increase or decrease the amount of coffee
grounds to suite your taste.
•Finer coffee grounds, such as Drip and Automatic Drip Coffeemaker coffee
grounds, promote a full extraction of flavor and a rich full-bodied coffee
experience.
