QUICK START
GUIDE
1 FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR
FOR HOT FROTH
1. Add milk to your cup until it is about 1 ⁄
3
full.
For cold froth, skip to Step 2.
For hot froth, microwave for
45–60 seconds.
2. Hold the cup under the frother and submerge the whisk just below the surface of the milk. Froth for 30–45 seconds.
3. Remove the frother whisk by twisting clockwise. Keep your cup below the whisk while you carry it to your sink or dishwasher for easy cleaning.
CAUTION: DO NOT reach across top of brewer to froth during brewing. Steam is released from vent on top of brewer and can result in a steam burn.
DRIP STOP
CAN’T WAIT FOR THAT FIRST CUP?
THEN DON’T
Simply close the drip stop to pause the carafe brew cycle, and then pour your first cup.
Reopen the drip stop to continue the brew.
STOP THE DRIPS AFTER THE BREW
At the end of a brew, close the drip stop to prevent drops of coffee from escaping.
CLEANUP
REMOVABLE BREW BASKET
FOR EASY CLEANUP
To avoid spills and drips, keep the filter inside the removable brew basket as you carry it to the trash.
FILL TO THE MAX LINE.
Fill to the max line and let Auto-iQ ™ take it from there.
2 PRE-HEAT FOR THE HOTTEST FIRST CUP
PLUG IN, POWER UP, AND PRE-HEAT
Plug in your brewer, then press the power button. The PRE-HEATING light will illuminate for 3 minutes.
When the light goes out, you’re ready to brew some steaming hot coffee.
The water reservoir lid is removable for easy cleaning and is dishwasher safe.
PRE-HEATING
Pre-heating ensures your first cup will be as hot as it possibly can be.
(But if you don’t have time to wait, you can still brew before pre-heat is fully activated.)
