IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Follow these basic safety precautions when using electrical appliances to reduce the risk of ﬁre, electric shock, and/or personal injury:

• Read all instructions.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or

knobs.

• To protect against electric shock, do not

place cord, plug, or brewer in water or liquid.

• Close supervision is necessary when the

brewer is used by or near children.

• Unplug from outlet when not in use for

extended periods of time and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.

• Do not operate the brewer with a

damaged cord or plug, or after the brewer malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the brewer to an Authorized Service Facility for examination, adjustment, or repair. (Refer to page 21)

• The use of an accessory not evaluated for

use with this brewer may cause injuries and is not authorized.

• For indoor use only. Do not use outdoors.

• Do not let the power cord hang over edge

of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

• Do not place the brewer on or near a hot

gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

• Do not use brewer for other than its

intended use.

• Do not insert or remove pod holder while brewing. Press the coffee or tea button to stop or cancel a brew cycle.

• A canceled brew cycle is not held in memory. The next brew cycle will dispense the full volume based on the volume setting.

• To avoid cup overﬂow, empty mug before each brew cycle.

• Never place hands directly under the pod holder. Hot water and steam can be present.

• Do not place brewer in a sink or near other water source. Remove reservoir and ﬁll separately or use the slide lid.

• When the brewer is idle, the lid should be in the closed position.

• Always use a mug or bowl that is larger than the brew volume selected.

• Keep hands away if container overﬂows. Wait until brew ﬁnishes, let liquid cool, then lower volume setting or use a larger mug.

• Never brew without the pod holder insert in place. Excessive pressure on the pod could result in coffee or tea escaping from the holder and into the cup. Hot liquid splash and burns could occur.

• Use cold water only.

• Do not place torn pods or use ground coffee in pod holder.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

• If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the brewer, and the cord should be arranged so that it will not hang over the edge of the table or counter where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

• The extension cord must be of the grounding type, 3-wire cord. (Including grounding conductor).

• If the power cord is ever damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or authorized service personnel with a special cord available form the manufacturer or its authorized service personnel in order to avoid a hazard. Improper electrical installation will damage electronic components. Damage caused by incorrect electrical connections is not covered by warranty.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Improper installation could result in permanent damage and void the

limited warranty. Read & follow the instructions on page 9.

• Use CAUTION when dispensing hot water from the brewer. The water from your BUNN® Pod brewer is approximately 93°C (200°F). This is approximately 10°C (50°F) hotter than the hot water from your faucet and must be handled with care.

• This brewer is designed to remain plugged in at all times (except during initial installation, cleaning, or when brewer will not be used for an extended period of time).

• A power switch is provided on the lower left side to completely shut off all electrical components when your plans take you away from the brewer for three or more days. Safety features, designed into the BUNN® Pod brewer, make the daily use of this switch unnecessary.

• Whenever the brewer has been shut off or unplugged for an extended period of time, rinse the reservoir and reﬁll with fresh cold water before using. It is also recommended that the brewer be cycled. (See page 14)

• Your BUNN proper temperature. This constant supply of hot water assures the correct method of brewing in less than one minute.

• When inserting a pod into the pod holder, it is important to seat the pod all the way into the holder cavity. Leaks could occur if the pod is too large, or does not seat completely into the holder cavity. Ensure that all of the paper edge and any tabs of the pod are inserted into the holder cavity.

• While brewing, the newest water in the tank is also being heated to the proper temperature and held until needed.

• International brewers are equipped with a 230 volt, grounded cord set. The plug is provided with a grounding circuit in compliance with local requirements. This is a safety feature and allows the plug to ﬁt into a properly grounded outlet. If the plug does not ﬁt into the outlet, contact an electrician to update your outlet. Attempting to bypass the safety aspect of this plug will void the warranty.

• The sprayhead may become loose over time. Unplug the machine and allow it to cool down before tightening or removing the sprayhead. Use extreme caution not to burn yourself. Tighten or remove the sprayhead with your ﬁngertips. (Refer to page 13)

• CAUTION: Never apply force to remove the pod holder. If the holder does not slide out easily, wait 10 minutes and try again. Burns resulting from hot water splash could occur if the holder is forcibly removed from the brewer.

• Use Servings are extremely hot.

• To stop a brew cycle in process, press the Coffee or Tea button again. (See Page 7)

• When operating the brewer on a standard household outlet, do not attempt to power other appliances on the same circuit. Circuit overload could occur.

• Some noise is normal when the water pump is running during a brew cycle.

Pod brewer has a specially designed tank to keep the water inside at the

CAUTION to avoid burns during consumption of any freshly brewed beverage.
