4.Select the Brew Strength or ‘PRE-GROUND’ Coffee Setting

Press the STRENGTH FLAVOR button. The LCD screen will flash the current strength setting and the and buttons will illuminate and flash. Use these buttons to cycle through 7 strength settings from ‘MILD’, ‘STRONG’ to ‘INTENSE’ or for the ‘PRE-GROUND’ coffee setting.

Press the STRENGTH FLAVOR button to select. The LCD screen will flash the current flavor setting.

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 filter or a paper filter (8-12 cup, flat 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 overflow.

5. Select the Flavor Setting

Press the STRENGTH FLAVOR button until the LCD screen flashes the current flavor setting and the and buttons illuminate and flash. Use these buttons to cycle through 5 flavor settings from ‘LITE’ to ‘BOLD’. These settings vary the steeping time of the coffee and water. The ‘LITE’ setting steeps for less time to produce

a light-flavored cup. The ‘BOLD’ setting steeps for more time for a bolder, more full-flavored coffee.

Press the STRENGTH FLAVOR button to select. The LCD screen will cease to flash once selected.

6. Start the Brew Cycle

Press the START CANCEL button. The grinder will commence grinding the correct amount of coffee for the selected brew size and strength. If the ‘PRE-GROUND’ coffee setting has been selected, the grinder will be disabled.

NOTE

Steam may emit from the rear steam vent during grinding and brewing. This is normal.

The count-down timer will then begin. The time displayed is an estimate only and will depend on the amount, strength and flavor settings you have selected. The LCD screen will display:

a)‘PRE-HEATING’ as the water is heated to the optimal temperature. The pre-heating time will depend on the starting temperature of the water in the water tank.

b)‘STEEPING’ as coffee and water are steeped together.

c)‘BREWING’ as the coffee is dispensed into the cup.

To stop the cycle at any time, press the START CANCEL button. You will hear a winding sound. This is normal.

CAUTION

Never open the swing-out door and remove the coffee basket while brewing. Hot water and coffee can cause injury.

7. Empty the Coffee Basket

Once the brewing cycle is complete, the ready signal will sound and a winding sound will be heard. This is normal. The coffee machine will automatically shut-off, however the LCD screen will flash ‘EMPTY COFFEE FILTER’ as a reminder to remove the coffee basket and discard the used grinds. Wash the coffee basket, taking particular care to rinse the chute area. Then dry the coffee basket and chute area thoroughly.

We also recommend checking the coffee grinds chute disc for any build-up of coffee grinds. This is the stainless steel disc that is visible when the swing-out door is opened. A build-up of grinds on this disc can affect the performance of the machine. Wipe the disc clean then dry thoroughly.

CAUTION

The coffee basket, gold tone or paper filter may still be very hot after brewing. Use caution and allow to cool before removing.

NOTE

If using the gold tone filter, you may notice the brewing cycle finish before the ready signal sounds. This is normal. The total brewing time displayed on the LCD screen is calculated using paper filters as coffee passes through paper filters slower.

8. Warming Plate

The warming plate will automatically turn on during the brewing process then automatically turn off after brewing is complete. Use caution as the warming plate will be hot during brewing and for approximately 5 minutes after brewing.

CAUTION

Use caution when removing the cup from the warming plate as both the cup and warming plate will be hot.
