Polarized Plug

• This machine has a polarized plug(one blade wider than the other).
• As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
• If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
• Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature or modify the plug in any way.
• If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm, do not use that outlet.

Power Cord

A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) may be provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:

• The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the machine.
• If the machine is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding type cord.
• The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or table top, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally

The Quest For Perfect Coffee

Filling Water

Every time to use water and ensure that the water has removed chlorine, bad tastes, and odors, for the purest coffee flavor, every time you brew.

1. Coffee is 98% water. The quality of that water is as important as the quality of your coffee.
2. If water doesn’t taste good from the tap, it won’t taste good in your coffee.
3. Do not pour hot water, milk, ground coffee, or tea into the water tank.
4. Do not let foreign objects enter the water tank.
5. We recommend using pure water.
6. The numbers(cup quantity) marked on the carafe correspond to those on the water tank.
7. You can add water to the carafe and then fill it in the water tank.
8. Do not add more than a maximum of 4 cups of water into the water ta; otherwise, the water will leak from the overflow hole of the water tank.

Roast Degree of Coffee Beans

1. We recommend using light or medium roasted coffee beans or pre-ground coffee for making drip coffee.
2. There are many types of beans on the market. To ensure the best grinding results, high-quality beans are recommended.
3. Buildup of oils may occur more frequently if dark-roasted coffee beans are used.
4. Clean the coffee machine and filter more often when using oily beans.
5. Buy in small batches to reduce the storage time by using freshly roasted coffee beans with a roasted on date to maximize flavor, not a use-by or best before date.
6. Store coffee beans in a dark, cool, and dry place. Vacuum seal if possible.

Grind Size

• We recommend medium-sized coffee grinds.
• If the coffee grinds are too fine, overextraction and bitterness will result.
• Too fine coffee grinds may also clog the filter and even flow into the carafe to affect the taste.
• If the coffee grinds are too coarse, under extraction will occur, and the flavor will be weak.

Grind Dose

1. We recommend 10g of coffee grinds for one cup, but do not add more than 40g of grinds to the filter.
2. Use the supplied measuring spoon for measuring coffee amounts.
3. Refer to the following table for your required amounts:

Choosing Filter

1. You can use either the permanent filter we provided or a disposable paper filter for making coffee, but do not use them together to avoid blockage.
2. After choosing the filter, assemble it closely with the filter insert, and ensure they are installed into the filter basket properly.

Water Volume

The amount of water added to the water tank should correspond to the cup quantity of coffee grinds. For example, if you add 20g of coffee grinds and you should add 2 cups of water; otherwise, the machine will finish boiling all the water in the water tank, which will make the coffee weak. If you want a bold coffee, you can add 1.5 cups of water.

Closing the Cover

• Firmly close the one-piece cover to prevent steam from escaping to avoid scalding.

Placing Carafe

• Close the lid of the carafe and make sure the lid is up against the filter insert’s drip stop.

3. In this case, immediately place the carafe back into the machine and let all the coffee flow into the carafe.
