BEFORE BREWING YOUR
FIRST POT OF COFFEE
Rinsing your coffeemaker: During the
manufacturing process, dust can get
trapped in the unit. We recommend washing
all parts of the coffeemaker before the first
use. See Cleaning and Maintenance on
page 9 for detailed instructions.
HELPFUL HINTS
• Always keep Coffee Release Lever in the
Lock position when the coffeemaker is
not in use.
• Use a dark roast, medium-to-coarse grind
for optimal flavor.
• For best results, use filtered cold water to
fill the water tank.
