Meet Your Coffee Maker

Before You Begin

1. Remove all packaging.
2. Clean and wash all parts
3. Plug in Coffee MakerWe selected a short cord for this Coffee Maker to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. If you need to use a longer cord, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the Coffee Maker. Make sure the extension cord is arranged so that it cannot be pulled on by children or tripped over.
4. Run Water-Only 5-8 Cup Brew Cycle.

A Note About Water

Your Coffee Maker uses all of the water you put in the tank every time you brew. Add only as much water as you need for your coffee. For example, if you want to make 3 cups of coffee, only fill the water to the 3-cup fill line.

Brew tip:
If you’re brewing a single mug, use your mug to measure the water and fill the water tank for a perfect cup.

Note:
For best results, always use filtered water. Do not use distilled water.

Water/Coffee Ratio 

OXO recommends using approximately 8 grams of medium-ground coffee per cup (5 fl oz). Coffee dosage recommendations are based on the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) Golden Cup Standard designed for optimal extraction and strength. 1 OXO scoop = approximately 8 grams of medium-ground coffee.

Cleaning & Care

Never immerse the Coffee Maker power cord or plug in water. Do not allow liquid to come in contact with the power cord or plug. Doing so can result in electrical shock or death.  To prevent damage to the appliance when cleaning, do not use alkaline cleaning agents, abrasive pads, harsh chemicals, or spray cleaner chemicals when cleaning.

Regular Cleaning
Clean the exterior regularly with a damp cloth and wipe dry. Describe your Coffee Maker regularly. See pg. 11 for descaling instructions.

Stain Removal
Remove coffee oil stains in the carafe by soaking overnight with a small amount of dishwasher detergent and water.

Filters
To replace filters for Single Serve Accessories, look for Kalita Wave Filter 185. To replace large filters, look for basket filters labeled as 8-12 cup filters.

Notes on Descaling

Buy a descaling solution where household cleaning products are sold; follow the solution’s recommended d u see. The clean cycle will take around 25 minutes. Time will vary based on the amount of the cycle the machine is fully descaled.
