using your coffee maker
Ensure that the appliance is switched off and unplugged from the supply socket
if it is left unattended and before assembling, disassembling or cleaning.
Remove any packaging and promotional material from your coffee maker and position it
on a stable, secure, dry and level work surface away from the edge. Wash all parts that
will come into contact with food. Use warm soapy water then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Before making coffee for the rst time, operate your coffee maker with plain water to ush
the system through.
• Follow steps 1 to 5 below but without adding any coffee at step 4.
• Once the brewing cycle has completed, discard the contents of the bottle.
Making Coffee
1. Open the lid and ll with cold water to the 130, 300 or MAX marking (inside the water
tank). The MAX marking is enough to completely ll the 500ml bottle. Make sure that
you pour the water into the water tank and not the lter compartment. Don’t exceed
the MAX marking.
2. Fit the lter holder.
3. Fit the lter. Alternatively, you can use a paper lter shaped to t the lter holder.
4. Add the lter coffee. For a 500mml bottle, add approximately 25g of coffee (or to
taste). Close the lid.
5. Place the bottle onto the base. Plug your coffee maker in to the mains supply outlet.
Press the on/off switch rmly until it lights up. Your coffee maker will start to brew the
coffee.
6. When the brewing cycle has nished, the on/off switch light will go out. Remove the
bottle, add milk and sugar as required then screw on the lid.
Notes
Freshly brewed coffee will be HOT! Take care when drinking.
Your coffee maker requires a rest period of three minutes between each brewing cycle.
If you try to press the on/off switch during this time, nothing will happen. You can use this
time to prepare your coffee maker by relling the water tank and emptying and cleaning
the used coffee grounds from the lter.
