Base Grid 6 Before Your First Use Carefully unpack the coffee maker and remove all packaging materials. Wipe the heating stand with a clean, damp cloth. Do not immerse the heating stand in water or other liquid. To remove any dust that may have accumulated on the removable parts during packaging, wash the carafe, lid and filter basket with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry. We recommend that prior to brewing your first pot of coffee, you "brew" just the cold water without ground coffee or a paper filter. This will remove any dust that may have settled inside the coffee maker. Operating Instructions BREWING COFFEE 1) Open the water tank lid(1) and fill the water tank with desired amount of cold water. 2) Swing the filter basket holder(2) outward to your right. Lift out the filter basket(3). Insert a #4 cone-shaped filter into the filter basket(3). 3) Place the desired amount of ground coffee into the filter. 4) Insert the filter basket(3) with filter in the filter basket holder(2). Be sure the filter basket(3) is seated properly in the filter basket holder(2). Swing the filter basket holder close and snap into place. NOTE: Do not operate your coffee maker if the filter basket holder does not close completely. If the door does not close completely, check to see that the filter basket is properly seated and snap the door back into its place. 5) Press the right power button(4) to begin brewing. In 15 minutes the coffee maker will complete the brewing cycle and switch over to warming mode, keeping the coffee hot. 6) Press the right power button(4) again to turn the coffee maker off when the carafe is empty or when the coffee maker is not in use. MAKING ESPRESSO 1) Remove the espresso filter basket(10) by grabbing the handle and sliding 1/4 to the left. The espresso filter basket(10) will now be released. 2) Place the espresso filter(11) in the espresso filter basket(10). 3) Fill with fresh ground espresso coffee to the desired amount. Clean any excess coffee from the rim of the espresso filter basket(10). This will assure proper fit under the brew head. 4) Place the retainer clip(14) in the release position by pulling the clip back toward your hand. Place the espresso filter basket(10) underneath the brew head so that the handle is positioned to the left of the center. Lift the espresso filter basket(10) up and insert it into the brew head. Make sure the 7 espresso filter basket(10) is secure. Fill the espresso carafe(13) with cold water. Markings are provided as measures to number of serving of espresso. 6) Remove the water tank boiler cap(7) and pour water into the water tank. 7) Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet. 8) Turn the control knob(9) to " "position. Espresso will begin to flow into the carafe. 9) When brewing has completed, you can use the steam remaining in the water tank for frothing milk. First, pour 3 to 4 oz. of cold milk into a small pitcher, which should fit underneath the steam nozzle(12). Then turn the control knob to " " position for frothing. (If you find the steam is not enough for frothing milk, pour some water into water tank. (To make sure "do not remove the water tank boiler cap (7) until the steam pressure in the machine has been released completely.") In just a few seconds, as steam is injected into the milk, it will begin to froth up. To finish frothing, turn the control knob(9) back to "Off". 10) When the espresso has stopped flowing into the carafe, press the power button to turn the espresso machine off. Pour out the espresso coffee into a cup, and then add the steam milk to the espresso and spoon on the frothed milk. 11) Unplug the power cord and allow the machine to cool. 5) Auto Drip-Stop Your coffee maker is equipped with an auto drip-stop feature. If you wish to temporarily remove the glass carafe from the warming plate at any time during the brewing cycle, the auto drip-stop feature will temporarily stop the brewing, causing no coffee to drip from the filter basket to the warming plate. Replacing the glass carafe on the warming plate will restart the brewing cycle. NOTE: If the glass carafe was removed during the brewing cycle, return it within 30 seconds or the filter basket may overflow. CAUTION: The coffee maker will remain "On" until you press power button to turn it "Off". Also, do not leave empty glass carafe on the heated warming plate. 8 Cleaning and Maintenance COMPLETELY CLEAN AND DRY ALL PARTS AFTER EVERY USE. Always turn coffee maker "Off" and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning it. Remove the glass carafe from the warming plate. Discard any remaining coffee. The glass carafe, carafe lid and filter baskets may be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or on the top rack of a dishwasher. Do not place any other parts of the coffee maker in the dishwasher. Do not use scouring agents or harsh cleansers on any part of the coffee maker. During cleaning of the filter basket, the spring (located lower back of the handle) may become detached. If not reattached, it may prevent the anti-drip function from working properly. Never immerse base unit in water or any other liquid. To clean base, simply wipe with a clean damp cloth and dry before storing. Wipe the warming plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive materials or cleaners to clean the warming plate. Do not try to clean the inside of the water tank with a cloth as residue or lint might remain and clog up your coffee maker. Mineral Deposits and Decalcifying Mineral deposit build-up frequently occurs in coffee makers. This build-up is quite normal and is caused by minerals commonly found in drinking water. Periodically, your coffee maker will need cleaning to remove any mineral deposits that may form. Excessive steaming or prolonged brewing cycle is a sign that your coffee maker needs decalcifying. During decalcifying, more steaming will occur than while brewing coffee. 1) Lift carafe lid. Pour two tablespoons of white vinegar in the carafe and add cold water and fill up carafe. 2) Pour vinegar/water solution into water tank. 3) Place the glass carafe on the warming plate. 4) Open the filter basket holder and place a coffee filter into the filter basket. 5) Press power button to turn the coffee maker on. 6) Let half of the cleaning solution brew into the carafe, and then press the power button again to turn the coffee maker "Off". 7) Let the coffee maker cool for 15 minutes to soften the mineral deposits. 8) Pour the liquid that brewed into the carafe back into the water tank. 9 9) Turn the coffee maker on and let all the cleaning solution brew into the carafe. 10) Turn the coffee maker off. Discard the cleaning solution and used coffee filter. 11) Fill the coffee maker with fresh water and follow the steps in the "Before Your First Use" to flush out remaining cleaning solution. 12) Hand wash carafe and lid with hot soapy water. Do not place in dishwasher.
