IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precauons should always be followed
including the following:
• Read all instrucons.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons, do not immerse cord,
plugs, base or kele in water or other liquid.
• Never leave the appliance unaended when in use. Close supervision is necessary
when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use, no water in kele, filling water, moving kele
and before cleaning. Allow to cool before pung on or taking o parts, and before
cleaning the appliance.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or aer the appliance
malfuncons, or has been damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free Customer
Assistance Number for examinaon, repair or adjustment.
• Do not use a base unit other than the one supplied. The use of accessory aachments
not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock
or injury to persons.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces. Always
store excess poron of the power cord in the compartment of the base unit.
• Electric kele must be operated on a flat surface. Do not place on or near a hot gas
or electric burner, or in a heated oven, or on the top of other electric appliances.
• Always aach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To
disconnect, turn control to o, then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Do not use appliance for any purpose other than intended use.
• To avoid circuit overload, do not operate another high waage appliance on the
same circuit.
• Do not fill kele when posioned on base. Remove all moisture on the boom of
the body before placing it onto the power base.
• Be aware of steam being emied from spout or lid especially during refilling. Do not
remove lid during boiling cycle.
• Do not use the kele to heat anything other than water. Do not fill above the ‘’max’’
indicaon. Do not operate kele if water is below minimum marking. If the kele is
overfilled, boiling water may be ejected. The kele is only to use with the base unit
provided.
• Do not insert any object into slots or holes of the kele.
• Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during the boiling cycles.

ADDITIONAL SAFEGUARDS
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF APPLIANCE
WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
EXTENSION CORDS
A short power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulng from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or
extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer
detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1) The marked electrical rang of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rang of the appliance, and
2) The extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on unintenonally
(especially by children).
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded while in use.
CAUTION: To ensure connued protecon against risk of electric shock, connect to
properly grounded outlets only.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
In North American markets the appliance has a plug that looks like Figure A. Keles sold
outside of North America include removable power cords for use with electrical outlets
in those markets. DO NOT aempt to insert a power cord into an incompable outlet.
Appliance damage, electrical system damage or physical harm may result. An adaptor,
as shown in Figure B, should be used for connecng a 3-prong grounding plug to a 2-wire
receptacle. The grounding tab, which extends from the adaptor, must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded receptacle as shown in Figure C, using
a metal screw.
Warning: This appliance ulizes a high waage relay for arriving at the desired water
temperature. In some instances, this relay may cause slight flickering of lights on the
same circuit. It is best to use this appliance on a dedicated circuit or with all other
appliances o during this appliance’s use. It will not damage electrical systems but
cauon should be used to not overload this circuit with other appliances running at the
same me.

⓬ Decalcifying:
• When mineral scale builds up in the kele, it can aect temperature
consistency and slow down heang me.
• To ensure opmum performance, Brewista recommends descaling the kele
when mineral build-up is visible inside the kele.
Note: Vinegar may not eecvely descale the kele and can be dicult to
thoroughly rinse. Vinegar may also leave behind an odor that could aect
future use.
Brewista recommends using Cafeo™ Descaler.
How to use Cafeo™ Descaler:
1) Mix 1/2 packet Cafeo™ Descaler with
20 oz (600 ml) of lukewarm water.
2) Pour the soluon into the kele.
3) Bring the soluon to a boil.
4) Let the vessel cool for 15 minutes, then
discard the soluon.
5) Rinse thoroughly with fresh water.

Preparing Coee
Pour Over Manual Brew Coee
This is the simplest coee brewing approach. It allows the individual the most control
of saturaon of the coee grounds, also the most parcipaon by the user. It requires
more me than hing the ON switch of a drip coee maker but for many, its higher
involvement is part of the pleasure of coee overall.
A. Grinder
B. Scale (Brewista Smart Scale™ recommended)
C. Paper filter, cloth or permanent filter
D. Pour over filter basket (Brewista Smart
Dripper™ recommended)
E. Drinking cup or carafe
F. Method for boiling water (Brewista kele
recommended)
Brewing Manual Pour Over Method
• Measure about 6 ounces of water for each cup you intend to brew. Place
measured water in kele and turn on kele to bring water to desired
temperature.
• Grind two tablespoons of beans per cup of coee.
• Rinse the filter, dripper, and glass server (or whatever you are brewing into)
in hot water to preheat them.
• Assemble the filter, dripper and vessel and dump the ground coee into the
filter.
• When the water reaches the programmed temperature, remove the kele
from the base. The desired coee brewing temperature is 205oF, slightly
lower than boiling temperature.
• Now pour the water into the filter. Sr the coee just a bit to be sure it all
gets saturated with water. A slow, steady pour allows for the best extracon
from the grounds.
Tips:
• You may have to pour two or three mes depending in the grind, filter size,
and amount of coee being made.
• Pre-weng the coee grounds a minute before start pour over helps
extracon.
• A narrower spout allows beer water flow control.
• Pour-over coee is usually ground finer than drip coee maker, but not as fine
as espresso.
