USING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME
When first using this brewer, please carry out
a cleaning proceedure before it is pre-heated:
fill the container with water to the level marked
MAX, tighten the filter in place of brewer; turn
the switch to brewing mode . At the same
time, place an adequate container under the
filter holder and make sure the two brewing
spouts are over the container. Now, you can
hear the motor of the pump rumbeling. Water
may take a while to come out of the spout if
you are using it for the first time, or if it has
not been used for some time. The cleaning
procedure is completed when half the water is
left in the container. now you can proceed to
the pre-heat proceedure.
PRE-HEATING THE COFFEE MACHINE
For the proper function as well as longer life in
using the coffee brewer, remember to fill with
water before the heater mode of the boiler
is turned on: by turning the selector switch to
brewing mode , and wait until water drips
out from the spout.
For optimum pre-heating the selector switch
can be left in the heater mode for
approximately half-an-hour before making
any coffee, as long as the filter holder is firmly
attached to the appliance (make sure the
steam release knob is closed).
To install the filter properly, simply hold the filter
handle, flip handle clip backward and place it
level under the heater. Align the filter holder so
that the handle is pointing directly in fornt of
the heater. Now rotate the handle from left to
right until it is tight.
NOTE:
* Although the optimum pre-heating time for the
machine is 10 minutes when the selector is
in the heater mode , the machine can be
operated after two minutes once the OK light
is lit.
* Fix the filter as tight as possible in the
installation to avoid water leaking from the filter.
