Preparing to Brew
A Inserting the Charcoal water  lter
Your appliance is supplied with two charcoal water  lters. Before using your coffeemaker, we highly recom-
mend that you insert one to remove impurities from your water, improving water quality and ultimately the
avour of your coffee.
ß Remove the  lter from its packaging and soak in cold tap water for 15 minutes.
ß Lift the lid of the coffee maker and you will  nd the charcoal water  lter holder located at the back on the
left of your appliance. To remove, simply lift it up and out from its compartment.
ß Holding the stem of the water  lter holder in one hand use your other hand to gently press the  lter holder
door down and pull outwards to  ip open.
ß Place the  lter in the holder and close the compartment cover; you will hear a snap indicating  lter is in place.
N.B. Caution must be used when inserting the charcoal  lter. Improper placement in the holder can cause
tearing of the  lter skin.
ß Hold the  lter under cold running tap water for 10 seconds to  ush. Hold the water  lter holder horizon-
tally, directly under the water stream so that the water  ows through the  lter compartment.
ß Allow the  lter to drain completely.
ß Replace the water  lter holder to its compartment in the coffeemaker, pushing it all the way down to the
base of the unit.
