USE YOUR COFFEE MAKER

1. Open the top cover and fill the water tank with fresh water. The water level should not exceed MAX level as indicated on the water level gauge.

Assemble the filter with coffee powder into the funnel, and maker sure the funnel is fitted properly, otherwise the top cover can not be closed. Finally, close the top cover.
