before using for the first time
Fill the water reservoir to the –max– mark with water and operate the coffee maker
without using coffee. When the heating cycle has finished and all the water has passed
into the carafe, switch the coffee maker off and unplug it. Discard the hot water and
clean the coffee maker (see “care and maintenance”). This should remove any
manufacturing dust, etc.

1 Check that the light is out. If it’s not, press the [ button till it goes out (press once in
manual mode, twice if AUTO is showing).
2 If it’s just been used, let the coffee maker cool down for at least 10 minutes.
3 Open the lid, pull up the reservoir handle, and lift the reservoir up and off the coffee
maker.
4 Fill the reservoir with the required amount of water. Use at least 2 cups, but don’t fill
it above the max mark.
5 Even if you only want one cup of coffee, you’ll need to put more than one cup of
water into the coffee maker, to allow for evaporation, water absorbed by the coffee
grounds, etc.
6 Sit the reservoir on the coffee maker so that the valve in the bottom of the coffee
maker sits on the pipe sticking up from the bottom of the coffee maker, and the
hooks at the top front of the reservoir hook over the back of the coffee maker.

7 Open the lid, and put with ground coffee into the filter. The amount will vary
according to individual taste, but we suggest starting with one level tablespoonful
of filter-ground coffee per cup of water.
8 Close the lid.

9 Turn the carafe so the spout points away from the control panel, and sit it on the
hotplate. You’ll feel some resistance as the non-drip valve is pushed up by the
carafe lid.
power up

switchable).
