- CARAFE MODE
First Time Use Only
We recommend fl ushing the machine
to remove any dust particles or residues
from the manufacturing process. Follow
the proceeding instructions, ensuring to
completely fi ll the water tank (Step 1), select
‘12 CUPS’ (Step 3) and the ‘PRE-GROUND’
coffee setting (Step 4). However do not add
any coffee to the coffee basket. Once the
cycle is complete, discard the water from the
carafe and repeat the cycle again for best
results. The machine is now ready to use.
CAUTION
We recommend using cold, fi ltered
water. We do not recommend the use of
de-mineralized or distilled water as this
may affect the taste of brewed coffee
and how the coffee machine is designed
to function.
1. Fill the Water Tank
Press open the fl ip-top lid. Pour the desired
amount of cold, preferably fi ltered water into
the tank using a jug or the provided carafe.
If using the carafe, ensure the carafe lid is
securely locked in place. The LCD screen
will indicate the amount of water in the tank
as it is fi lled. The machine will beep when
full and the water level fl oat will rise to
indicate the maximum level. Do not exceed
the 12 cup maximum. Doing so may cause
the carafe to overfl ow or water spillage at the
back of the machine. Close the fl ip-top lid.
NOTE
Check the water level on the LCD
screen before use. We recommend
always keeping the water tank full.
The water tank should be refi lled with
cold, preferably fi ltered water. Do not
fi ll with any other liquid.
NOTE
Never pour water into the bean
hopper or grinding chamber area.
Doing so can cause the grinder to
clog. Only re-commence use when
the grinding chamber and grinding
burrs are completely dry. Refer to
Troubleshooting, ‘Moisture clogging
grinder’, page 29.
NOTE
Never fi ll the water tank once the
coffee machine has started a brewing
cycle. This will affect the volume
dispensed into the carafe.
2. Pre-Warm the Carafe
A warm carafe will help maintain the coffee’s
optimal temperature and keep coffee hotter
for longer. Remove the carafe lid by turning
counter-clockwise then lifting upwards.
Fill the carafe with hot water for about
30 seconds then discard the water. To lock
the carafe lid back into position, align the
arrow on the carafe lid with the ALIGN
arrow on the carafe. Turn clockwise until the
arrow on the carafe lid aligns with the LOCK
arrow on the carafe. This ensures that the
lid is closed and in the proper position for
brewing and pouring. Place the carafe into
position under the drip stop outlet.
ALIGN
ARROWS
THEN TURN TO LOCK
NOTE
Ensure the carafe is completely empty
and the lid is securely locked in place
before placing under the drip stop
outlet. Starting a brew cycle with
water or coffee in the carafe will cause
the carafe to over fl ow.
3. Select ‘Carafe’ Mode
Press the CARAFE button. The LCD screen
will display a carafe symbol and the current
number of cups selected. Continue pressing
the CARAFE button to select the desired
number of cups. You can choose less than
the current tank level (2 cup minimum),
while the maximum is the amount of water
in the tank, up to 12 cups. Each cup is
approximately 5 fl .oz.
4. Select the Brew Strength or
‘PRE-GROUND’ Coffee Setting
Press the STRENGTH button. The LCD
screen will fl ash the current strength setting
and the
and buttons will illuminate
and fl ash. Use these buttons to cycle through
7 strength settings from ‘MILD’, ‘STRONG’
to ‘INTENSE’ or for the ‘PRE-GROUND’
coffee setting. When the ‘INTENSE’ strength
setting is selected, the maximum number
of cups that can be brewed is 9 cups. This
ensures the maximum coffee to water ratio.
Press the STRENGTH button to select. The
LCD screen will cease to fl ash once selected.
NOTE
If using pre-ground coffee, select the
‘PRE-GROUND’ coffee setting. This
will disable the burr grinder. Add pre-
ground coffee to the gold tone fi lter
or a paper fi lter (8-12 cup, fl at base
basket style with ~ 3¼"/8.25cm base).
We recommend 1 level tablespoon of
pre-ground coffee per 5oz/150ml cup
of water. Adjust the amount according
to your individual taste. The maximum
capacity for pre-ground coffee is
16 level tablespoons. Exceeding this
amount may cause overfl ow.
When using the machine for the fi rst
time, we recommend selecting the
‘PRE-GROUND’ coffee setting, however
omitting the addition of pre-ground
coffee. This will fl ush the machine and
remove any dust particles or residues
from the manufacturing process.
