OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
•Unpack the coffee maker from the box, and remove all packaging. Wash the unit
before using for the first time.
•Place the unit on a firm and stable surface. Ensure the on/off switch is in the “O” off
position. Place the plug in a wall socket and switch the wall socket on.
•Lift the lid and pour water into the water tank. Ensure that the water level is always
below the “12” mark, which is the maximum amount of water allowed. The numbers
on the water level indicator correspond with the number of cups of coffee or tea being
made.
•Gently pull the lip on the filter to swing the filter out from underneath the lid. Place
coffee or tea in the filter, to correspond with the amount of water in the water tank.
•Swing the filter and filter holder back underneath the lid, and push the filter lip gently
backwards until the filter clips into place. The coffee maker is now ready for use.
•Switch on the coffee maker using the power switch. The power switch will light up to
indicate that the unit is on, and the unit will start filtering hot water through the coffee
or tea.
•The heating plate will automatically switch on when the coffee maker is switched on.
This will assist in keeping the coffee or tea warm. Please note: The heating plate will
become hot. Do not touch the heating plate if the coffee maker is on.
•Once all the water from the water tank has filtered through into the carafe, switch the
coffee maker off using the power switch. Do not allow the unit to remain on if there is
no water in the water tank.
•To heat the carafe briefly, switch the unit on with no water in the water tank, but for
short periods of time only.

•Do not swing the filter out of place while the unit is in use. This may cause burning
due to escaping steam and hot water. It is advisable to wait for a while for the unit to
cool before removing the used ground coffee.
NOTE: Paper filters can be used in this unit, but must be used once only and discarded.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: To extend the life of your coffee maker, decalcify the unit once every two months.
You will know the unit needs to be decalcified when it takes more time to brew coffee, or
it makes a lot of noise while in use.

before cleaning. Ensure that the On/Off switch is set to “0”.
•The filter is removable, and can be washed and reused repeatedly.
•It is much easier to clean the accessories directly after they have been used. Wash
them in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry well.
•The body of the appliance should be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not let water
enter the appliance or the stand.
•Do not use bleach or other abrasive substance or solvents to clean your appliance
as it can be damaging to the finish.
•Do not immerse the coffee maker in water or any other liquid, or hold it under a
running tap to clean.

soapy water or mild non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse and dry a clean, dry, soft cloth.
