to make coffee

1Fill the coffee tank with the desired

amount of water. Use the markings on the inside below the pouring spout as a guide. Do not exceed the “MAX” level.

● Use cold water. We recommend

using filtered water from a Kenwood Water Filter as it reduces limescale. Never use warm or fizzy water.

2Pour the water from the coffee

tank into the water reservoir.

3 Place the coffee tank on the keep

warm plate, then fit the filter holder.

4 Place the permanent filter into the

filter holder.

5 For each cup of coffee required,

place one level spoon of filter coffee into the permanent filter. Adjust quantity to taste.

6 Close the lid.

7 Plug into the power supply.

CM450 series

● Press the “ON/OFF” button, the

light will come on and brewing will commence.

CM550 series

● Press the “Auto/ON/OFF” button

twice for coffee to be produced straight away, the light will come on and brewing will commence. If you want to use the automatic brew facility follow the instructions to set the clock and to programme automatic brew.

8 To dispense coffee, press the

coffee dispensing lever with a cup and coffee will flow out. Never

press the dispensing lever with your hand. To stop the

flow remove the cup. Coffee may be dispensed during and after brewing.

● To preserve heat and flavour, DO

NOT open the lid during or just after brewing.

9 The BrewMaster will keep the

coffee warm and then automatically switch off after 2 hours. To manually switch off earlier, press the “ON/OFF” button.

to make tea

Follow the procedure for making coffee using tea leaves instead of filter coffee. Place the desired amount of loose tea into the permanent filter using the spoon provided. The amount will vary depending upon the type of tea used and individual tastes but as a guide use 4 - 6 spoons of loose tea per maximum capacity of water. Some experimentation will be necessary to obtain the desired result. For best results we recommend that only the required amount of tea is made at one time and that the tea is drunk within half an hour of brewing.

You may notice fragments of tea leaves in the dispensed tea – this is normal. After use always wash the parts thoroughly. If alternating between tea and coffee making, take extra care to ensure the coffee tank and permanent filter are well washed and rinsed. You may wish to purchase an additional permanent filter and coffee tank to have dedicated parts for tea and coffee making. See ‘service’.
