household use only
before using for the first time
• Fill the reservoir to the max mark, and run the appliance without coffee.
• Let it cool, discard the water, then use it normally.
the insulated carafe
1 The insulated carafe means you can enjoy fresh, hot coffee anywhere in the home or garden.
If you preheat the carafe by rinsing with hot water. It’ll give you a supply of tasty, fresh coffee
for about an hour.
2 If left for much more than an hour, chemical changes in the coffee liquor start to affect the
flavour. It’s best to pour it away and make a fresh pot.
3 To prevent heat loss by evaporation, we’ve fitted a screw-on lid.
4 To remove the lid, turn it anti-clockwise till the open padlock U is next to the handle.
5 To pour, turn the lid till the arrow d is next to the handle.
6 To close the lid, turn it clockwise till the closed padlock L is next to the handle.
ground coffee
7 If you want to buy ready-ground coffee, medium-ground filter coffee will give you the best
results. The amount will vary with the type of coffee and your individual taste. We suggest
starting with two rounded teaspoons of medium-ground coffee per cup.
storing coffee
8 Coffee is best kept in an airtight container in a cool dry place, or in the fridge. Exposure to air
oxidises coffee and allows the flavour to evaporate.
milk
9 If you like milk in your coffee, use warm or hot milk, to avoid overcooling the coffee. To
extract maximum flavour from the coffee, it should be cool enough not to scald or burn the
mouth, but hot enough to let the flavour fill the mouth, nose and sinuses, not just the taste
buds.
bottled water
10 If you use bottled water, check that there are no added ingredients, flavourings, etc., and use
“still” water, not “sparkling”. The carbon dioxide which gives the “sparkle” will adversely affect
the flavour of your coffee.
taste
11 Don’t be tempted to reheat coffee in the appliance. You’ll damage the appliance and the
coffee will be undrinkable.
12 Clean the filter holder and carafe after each use. Residue from a previous brew will spoil your
coffee.
preparation
13 Sit the appliance on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
14 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.
15 Don’t plug it in yet.
