1.Lift the water tank lid and fill the water tank with cold water to the maximum mark.
2.Insert plug into a 230/240V power outlet and then switch on at the outlet.
3.Ensure the filter holder is firmly positioned into place. Close the water tank lid.
4.Position the empty carafe, with the lid on, onto the hot plate and switch the Coffee Maker on. The light above the on/off button will illuminate and the water will start to drip through.

The Aroma Style Electronic Coffee Maker is now ready for use.

2.Insert plug into a 230/240V power outlet and then switch on at the outlet.
3.Ensure the filter holder is firmly positioned into place. Insert the stainless steel mesh filter basket into the filter holder.
4.Spoon ground coffee into the stainless steel mesh filter basket. Allow approximately 1 heaped teaspoon of ground coffee for each cup of brewed coffee. Close the water tank lid.
5.Position the empty carafe, with the lid on, onto the hot plate.
6.Press the on/off button to switch the Coffee Maker on. The light above the on/off button will illuminate and the coffee will start to drip through.
While the non-drip feature is a convenient way to pour a cup of coffee mid-cycle, we recommend you wait until the completion of the brew cycle, as the strength and flavour of the coffee poured mid-cycle will vary from the finished brew.
While this temporarily stops the coffee from dripping into the carafe, it does not stop the brewing cycle. After pouring a cup of coffee, the carafe should immediately be returned to the hot plate for completion of the brewing cycle and to prevent the filter basket from over flowing.
Note
7.The non-drip valve feature allows you to interrupt the brewing cycle before the entire carafe has finished filling.
8.When the brewing process ends and the water tank level indicator is on empty, there will still be hot liquid in the filter basket. Wait a few minutes for the rest of the liquid to drip through into the carafe.
9.After the coffee grounds have cooled, open the water tank lid and carefully remove the mesh filter basket by grasping the handle, and lifting straight up from the filter basket holder.
10.The hot plate will keep the coffee hot for two hours as long as the Coffee Maker is switched on.
11.Always switch the Coffee Maker off when the carafe is empty or when you no longer want to keep the coffee hot.
If you wish to brew another carafe of coffee immediately, press the on/off button to off, switch off at the power outlet and unplug, clean the carafe and the stainless steel mesh filter basket, then follow the steps under ‘Brewing coffee’.
Note
into the filter holder.
Disposable paper coffee filters are not necessary and should not be used with or without the permanent stainless steel mesh filter basket.
Note
There are two drip holes on the back of the water tank to prevent exceeding the capacity of the Coffee Maker. If too much water is added it will flow from these holes down the back of the Coffee Maker.
Note
TO AVOID THE FILTER BASKET OVERFLOWING, THE CARAFE MUST FIT SECURELY INTO THE COFFEE MAKER HOT PLATE, WITH THE LID ON AT ALL TIMES. IF NOT PROPERLY POSITIONED ON THE HOT PLATE, HOT WATER OR HOT COFFEE MAY OVERFLOW.
DO NOT OPEN THE WATER TANK LID DURING THE BREWING CYCLE AS HOT STEAM COULD CAUSE INJURY. IF WATER/COFFEE IS NOT DRIPPING FROM THE COFFEE MAKER, IMMEDIATELY PRESS THE ON/OFF BUTTON, SWITCH OFF AT THE POWER OUTLET, UNPLUG AND WAIT 10 MINUTES BEFORE OPENING THE WATER TANK LID AND CHECKING THE FILTER BASKET.
THE COFFEE MAKER BECOMES VERY HOT DURING THE BREWING CYCLE. PLEASE HANDLE WITH EXTREME CARE.
