FAQs
Can I use paper filters with this machine?

How long does the Keep Warm function last?
The Keep Warm function automatically engages after brewing and stays active for 40 minutes.
Is the carafe dishwasher safe?
While the carafe is durable, it is recommended to hand wash it to prevent damage to the glass over time.
How do I change the aroma intensity?
You can select your preferred intensity using the dedicated button on the control panel before starting the brew cycle.
Does this machine have an auto-off feature?
Yes, the machine will shut down after the 40-minute Keep Warm cycle finishes to save energy.
Troubleshooting
The machine will not start at the scheduled time
Verify that the clock on the machine is set to the correct local time and the Auto Start feature is active.
Coffee is not hot enough
Ensure the 'Keep Warm' function is active; note that pre-warming the glass carafe with hot water before brewing can help maintain heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first use, run a brewing cycle with water only to clean the internal components. Ensure the machine is placed on a flat, stable surface with adequate clearance for the lid to open. The permanent filter should be rinsed after every use, while the glass carafe can be washed in warm, soapy water. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents on the blue exterior finish to maintain its luster. Descaling the machine periodically is recommended based on the hardness of your local water supply to ensure longevity.
