DESCRIPTION OF PARTS:
HOW TO USE:
1. For initial use, wash filter basket and the carafe thoroughly.
2. Plug the unit into a convenience outlet. Always make sure that the unit is in the “OFF” position. 3. Swing
out the funnel; place the filter basket holder with the filter basket and make sure that it is properly
assembled.
3. Put the ground coffee into the filter basket using a measuring spoon, standard measurement is one
scoop of ground coffee (7 to 8 grams) for a cup of water (8oz), but you may also adjust according to
your personal taste, and then close the funnel.
4. Fill the carafe with the desired amount of water. Open the lid of the water tank, pour water and close the
water tank cover.
Note: Do not fill water tank above the maximum level as indicated on water gauge.
5. Wipe and place the carafe into the keep warm plate.
6. Switch “ON” the unit.
7. During the brewing cycle, the water will automatically drip into the carafe.
Note: The appliance is designed with a pause-and-serve feature, at any time during brewing
cycle, you can temporarily remove carafe to pour and serve a cup of hot coffee. The brewing
cycle will not be interrupted and no coffee will drip from the unit, simply return the glass carafe
onto the warming plate to restart the brewing cycle, but do not remove the glass carafe longer
than 30 seconds.
8. After the brewing cycle (coffee stops dripping out), wait for one minute before removing the carafe to
serve.
Note: The coffee you get will be less than the water you have poured, as some water is
absorbed by the coffee grounds.
Caution: When pouring coffee, make sure that the angle of the carafe does not exceed 45
degrees in reference to the vertical position; you can pour the coffee slowly until the carafe is
empty; be careful not to over tilt and spill the hot contents of the carafe. The hot contents of
the carafe burn the skin on contact.
9. After brewing, the appliance will automatically switch to the warming mode, which will continue to keep
your coffee warm until you press the button to the “O” position. It is suggested that warming time shall
be not more than 1 hour; aroma and coffee taste will decrease as long as it is exposed. For the best
coffee taste, serve it just after brewing.
10. After use, switch OFF and unplug the unit from the convenience outlet.
Note: Always turn OFF the unit if the carafe is empty.
HINTS FOR GREAT-TASTING COFFEE:
1. A clean coffee maker is essential for making great-tasting coffee. Regularly clean the coffee maker as
specified in the “CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE” section.
2. Always use fresh tap water in brewing coffee.
3. Store unused ground coffee in a cool, dry place. After opening a package of ground coffee, store it in
an airtight container to maintain its freshness.
4. For the best coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and finely grind them just before brewing.
5. Do not reuse ground coffee since this will greatly reduce the coffee flavor. Reheating coffee is not
recommended as coffee is at its peak flavor after brewing.
6. Clean the coffee maker because over-extraction may cause oiliness. Small Oil droplets on the surface
of brewed, black coffee are due to the extraction of oil from the ground coffee.
7. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffees are used.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:

1. Pour water on the water tank with one pint vinegar.
2. Put the carafe into the keep warm plate.

water according to the water quality in your area and the frequency of use, we recommend removing
mineral deposits as follows:
1. Fill the water tank with water and de-scaling solution to the max level as indicated on water gauge
(The scale of water and solution is 4:1; the detail refers to the instruction of the solution. Please
use “household solution”; you may also use the citric acid instead of the solution (the one hundred
parts of water and three parts of citric acid).
2. Insert glass carafe onto the warming plate.
3. Make sure that the filter (without ground coffee) and funnel are assembled properly.
4. Switch the unit ON and allow it to process the de-scaling solution.
5. After processing one-cup solution, switch OFF the appliance.
6. Leave the solution for 15 minutes and repeat steps 3-5.
