Preparing to Brew

AInserting the Charcoal water filter

Your appliance is supplied with two charcoal water filters. Before using your coffeemaker, we highly recom- mend that you insert one to remove impurities from your water, improving water quality and ultimately the flavour of your coffee.

ßRemove the filter from its packaging and soak in cold tap water for 15 minutes.

ßLift the lid of the coffee maker and you will find the charcoal water filter holder located at the back on the left of your appliance. To remove, simply lift it up and out from its compartment.

ßHolding the stem of the water filter holder in one hand use your other hand to gently press the filter holder door down and pull outwards to flip open.

ßPlace the filter in the holder and close the compartment cover;you will hear a snap indicating filter is in place. N.B. Caution must be used when inserting the charcoal filter. Improper placement in the holder can cause tearing of the filter skin.

ßHold the filter under cold running tap water for 10 seconds to flush. Hold the water filter holder horizon- tally, directly under the water stream so that the water flows through the filter compartment.

ßAllow the filter to drain completely.

ßReplace the water filter holder to its compartment in the coffeemaker, pushing it all the way down to the base of the unit.
