to make coffee
1 Fill 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.
2 Pour 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.

CM550 series
● Press the “Auto/ON/OFF” button
twice for coffee to be produced
straight away, the light will come

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.
