Additional Safety Information

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

This appliance must be grounded. It is equipped with a 3-prong cord
having a grounded plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet which
is properly installed and grounded.

Warning: Improper use of the grounded cord can result in the risk of
electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if necessary. Do not attempt
to defeat this safety feature by modifying plug.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. If it is necessary to
use an extension cord, it should be positioned such that it does not
drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children
or tripped over and:

A. Use only 3-prong extension cord with 3-blade grounding plug.

B. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or

greater then the rating of this appliance. The electrical rating is
listed on the bottom of this unit.

C. Please ensure that the brew basket handle is fully locked in the down
position before brewing coffee as the machine uses some pressure to
speed up the brewing process. Do not try to open the brew basket
until the brewing cycle has finished.

owner of the famous
Spago restaurants and
one of the most influential chef­restauranteurs in America, is credited
with reviving California’s rich culinary
heritage. His cooking innovations, a
result of blending fresh California
ingredients with his classical French
techniques, are enjoyed by world
leaders, stars and fellow chefs alike.
He established other trend-setting

restaurants like Postrio in San
Francisco, Chinois on Main in Santa Monica, Trattoria del Lupo, Cut, and
his latest creation, Jai, an Asian fusion restaurant in San Diego. Home
chefs can also share Mr. Puck’s talents through his cookbooks, cutlery,
cookware and, of course, through his appliances!

Before Your First Use Using Your Coffeemaker

to Brew Coffee

Clean all detachable parts with warm water.

Add water into water tank to the MAX level.

Plug into standard 120V outlet.

Fit the filter.

Make sure the carafe is in place on the keep warm plate and the coffee
basket holder is in place.

Perform 2 or 3 Hot Water cycles (refer to 'Hot Water Dispense' section
on page 11).

If using the appliance at altitudes of 4,000 ft. or above please
reference the instructions on page 17.

When using the appliance for the first time, the display may show "Err".
This is because the unit has detected that the pipes are not filled with
water. If this happens, press the START/STOP button once to clear the
"Err" and press again to start a new carafe cycle.

Open the water tank lid and fill the water tank with potable water.
The water level should not exceed the MAX level marked in water
gauge. Then close the water tank lid.

Note: The appliance can make up to 12 x 5oz cups of coffee in a
brewing cycle.

Choose the CARAFE or single CUP coffee basket according to your
requirement, and then add coffee grounds into coffee basket. The
following table shows the recommended amount of coffee grounds to
use for a medium range of coffee strengths. When using the scoop
provided to measure coffee 8g is achieved with the coffee slightly
rounded.

Stronger or weaker coffee will be achieved by adding more or less
coffee grounds, according to your taste.

For best coffee taste and extraction across the range of volumes a
regular drip grind should be used. Finer grinds will produce stronger
coffee. Very fine and espresso grinds should not be used as these
could cause a blockage and incomplete brewing cycles. If there is
liquid remaining in the coffee basket at the end of the cycle then
the coffee used is too fine. Only use coffee grounds for one brewing
cycle.

Note: This appliance can be used with 62mm soft pods but we do
not recommend to use 2 pods together. If stronger coffee is required,
try selecting a heavier pod or stronger roast. Also, reduce the cup
volume setting and increase the strength selection to bold (3 bars)
or extra bold (4 bars).
