Preparing to Brew A Inserting the Charcoal water filter Your appliance is supplied with two charcoal water filters. Before using your coffeemaker, we highly recommend that you insert one to remove impurities from your water, improving water quality and ultimately the flavour of your coffee. ß Remove the filter from its packaging and soak in cold tap water for 15 minutes. ß Lift 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.
N.B. We strongly recommended that the water filter is replaced after 90 days or 90 uses; more often if you have hard water. Failure to do so can lead to a build-up of limescale and affect the performance of your appliance. Replacement filters can be purchased directly from the manufacturer, (refer to UK After Sales section for further details).
ß Replace the filter basket in the filter basket holder, by aligning the cut out of the basket opposite the handle, with the cut out at the back of the chamber and flip the lid closed. C Preparing the Carafe ß Remove thermal carafe lid by turning in the direction of the ‘unlock’ arrow. Pre-warm the carafe by rinsing it out with hot water. This will help keep the coffee hotter for longer. ß Return the carafe lid to the carafe.
Brewing Coffee Now the coffee machine is ready to brew. A Immediate and Programmed Brewing: Turn the function knob to brew, press the ‘On/Off’ button and the red indicator light will illuminate and the process will begin. Alternatively, to set your machine to start at a particular time, set the ‘Auto On’ function (see ‘Programming your coffee maker’ section for full instructions) and the green light will illuminate. B During and After Brewing ß When the brewing cycle has completed, 5 beeps will sound.
N.B. Whilst we offer this feature for your convenience, we do not recommend that you pour coffee before the cycle has reached completion, since the coffee brewed at the beginning of the cycle has a very different flavour profile to that made at the end of the cycle. Removing a cup during the cycle will alter the flavour of the finished pot. CAUTION: The bottom of the thermal carafe is hot to touch for several minutes after brewing. ß To turn the Brew Central off, press the On/Off button and release. N.B.
Programming your coffee maker A Setting the Clock 1. 2. Turn the function knob to ‘Clock’ Set Hour: press and hold the ‘Hour’ button until the number begins to flash, then release and press and hold again to scroll through the numbers quickly.When the required number approaches,press and release (pulse) the button to advance one digit at a time.The default will be the last time set unless power is shut off. N.B. When the number count passes 12, the PM light will be displayed on the LCD.
4. 5. Turn the function knob to ‘Auto On’. The LCD display will then show the current time. Press the On/Off button and release. The green indicator light will come on to remind you that the programming function is in use. At the programmed time, the red indicator will come on as well, indicating that the brew cycle is starting. Both lights will go off when the cycle ends. N.B. Clock must be set to enable the automatic start time.
Cleaning & Maintenance ß Always turn the appliance ‘OFF’ and remove the plug from the mains outlet before cleaning. ß Completely clean and dry all parts after every use. ß Open the reservoir lid and lift out the filter basket, discard the paper filter (if using) or discard the coffee grounds from the gold tone filter. The gold tone filter and filter basket can be washed with warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly or put on the top rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts thoroughly. N.B.
Descaling and the ‘Clean’ function ß Always use the charcoal water filters provided and replace on a regular basis (i.e. every 90 days or 90 uses) ß It is strongly recommended that you descale the appliance from time to time. The frequency depends upon the hardness of your tap water an how often you use the appliance. The flashing ‘Clean’ light will indicate when you should clean your coffeemaker.
