to make coffee
1Lift the tank lid and fill with the
required amount of water. The
water level must be between the
top and bottom cup marks. Do not
fill above the MAX level.
●Use cold water. We recommend
using filtered water from a
Kenwood Water Filter as it
reduces limescale and prolongs
the life of your coffee maker.
Never use warm or fizzy water.
2Ensure the filter holder is
positioned correctly.
3Fit either the permanent filter
supplied or a paper filter into the
filter holder. Add the coffee, use
the spoon provided (approximately
1 level spoon per cup or to taste).
4Close the lid and put the carafe on
the hotplate.
NOTE: The lid must be fitted
to the carafe in order to
operate the anti-drip valve.
5Plug in and switch on – the neon
light will come on.
6Don’t remove the carafe until
brewing has finished.
●The separate element for the
hotplate ensure that the coffee is
maintained at the correct
temperature after brewing.
●The hotplate will keep your coffee
hot, but the sooner you drink it,
the better it will taste.
●Your coffee maker will keep the
coffee warm and then
automatically switch off after 2
hours.
●If you haven’t used the machine
for a while, run one lot of water
through it (without coffee) to clean
it out. Fill the water tank to the top
cup mark when you do this.
