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

note: The shor t power-supply cord supplied reduces the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping

over a longer cord. If an extension cord is used, its marked electrical rating must be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the brewer. Make sure the ex tension cord does not hang over the edge of a
table or counter and that it cannot be pulled on by children or tripped over. The extension cord must
be a 3-wire cord of the 3-prong, 3-socketed, grounding type (including grounding conductor).

• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles.

• Do not place cord, plugs, or brewer in
water or other liquids.

• Do not open lid during brewing.

• Close supervision is necessary when
brewer is used by or around children.

• Unplug brewer when not in use for
extended periods and before cleaning.

• Let brewer cool before removing or
replacing parts, and before cleaning.

• Do not operate brewer with a damaged
cord or plug or if the brewer malfunctions
or is damaged in any way. Return brewer to
an Authorized Service Facility for examina­tion, adjustment or repair (see page 13).

• Using an accessory not evaluated for use
with this brewer may cause injur y.

• For indoor household use only.

• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or
counter or touch hot surfaces.

• Do not place brewer on or near a hot gas
or electric burner or in a heated oven.

• Do not use brewer for any purpose other
than its intended use.

• Use each Drawer for only its intended format
as specified in the Drawer Format Compat­ibility section (page 8) in this manual.

• Do not inser t or remove any Drawer while
brewing. Press Brew Button to stop or
cancel a brew cycle.

• Do not pour any liquid into the water tank
other than water or vinegar for cleaning,
as specified in this manual.

• Do not clean brewer with cleansers, steel
wool pads, or other abrasive materials.

• When brewer is not in use, keep lid in the
closed position.

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

• Never place hands directly under any
Drawer. Hot water and steam can be
present.

• Always use a cup that is larger than the
amount of water poured into the brewer.

• Keep hands away if cup overflows.

• Use caution when removing any Drawer
after the brew cycle as the contents may
still be hot.

• Pour in cold water only.

• Store Drawers in clean, dry place. Avoid
excessive heat.

INITIAL SET UP

important: My Café brewer has an internal Hot Water Tank that must be filled with water

before brewing for the first time. Fill the Pour-in Bowl and run 2-3 brew cycles. The machine will
begin to heat and be ready to brew in a few minutes.

MY CAFÉ® SINGLE CUP MULTI-USE BREWER

1. Plug in brewer. The Brew Button will

flash red, indicating that water is needed
and the brewer is ready for set-up.

2. Place any empty Drawer into
Drawer Guides and push in to
lock into place. The Drawer must be

locked into place before brewer
will operate.

3. Fill a cup or container with 14 oz. of
cold water.*

4. Open Spin Lid on top of brewer.

5. Fill Pour-in Bowl with water.

6. Close Spin Lid.

7. Position cup or container (14 oz. or
larger) on Drip Tray under Drawer.

Do not brew directly into untempered
glass or plastic cups/glasses. Use only
heat-resistant vessels.

8. Push Brew Button. Wait for water to
be drawn into the internal Hot Water
Tank. When water is being pulled into
the Hot Water Tank, the light around
the Brew Button and the Indicator

Light will be solid red. You may hear
some squeaking noises. This is perfectly
normal and will only occur during setup.
When the light around the Brew Button
switches from solid red to flashing red
you know you are ready to move on to
the next step.

9. If any water is present in the cup
or container, empty contents. Then
position cup or container on Drip
Tray under Drawer. It is unlikely any

water will be present after first fill cycle.

10. Repeat steps 3 through 7.

11 . Push Brew Button. Wait for water

to be drawn into internal Hot Water
Tank. Excess water will flow into the
cup. If the Brew Button is still flashing
red, repeat steps 3 through 7 and push
Brew Button again.

When Brew Button stops flashing and

Indicator Light stays red,” My Café is
heating the water. Wait 2 to 3 minutes
for the Indicator Light to turn from red to
green. You are ready to brew!

*IM PORTANT: Distilled water is not recommended for brewing coffee as it lacks the minerals to bring out the
natural flavors of coffee. Some common bottled water may also be too purif ied. If you want to use bot tled water,
look for words like “ filtered”, “spring water”, “mineral water” or “drinking water”. Avoid using bottled water with
words like “purified”, “distilled”, “zero” or “mineral free”. Your BUNN My Café Brewer may not function with water
that has insufficient mineral content.
