5 Lower the water filter holder into the
water tank and fit into position in the
recess.
6 Fill the tank with the desired amount
of water. The water must be
between the top and bottom cup
marks. Do not fill above the MAX
level. (Alternatively fill the water tank
when fitted inside the coffee maker
but take care not to cause spillage.)
● Use cold water. We recommend
using filtered water from a Kenwood
Water Filter as it reduces limescale.
Never use warm or fizzy water.
7 Replace the water tank back into the
coffee maker.
8 Ensure the filter holder is in position
in the coffee maker.
9 Fit either the permanent filter
supplied or a paper filter into the
filter holder. Add the coffee, use the
spoon provided (approximately 1
level spoon per cup or to taste).
10 Close the lid and adjust the aroma
control as required. Turn the control
to the left for stronger coffee and to
the right for weaker coffee.

● To pour coffee after brewing has
finished, unscrew the lid 180° so
that the tab on the lid is in line with
the pouring spout. Once the desired
amount of coffee has been poured,
screw the lid back on to best retain
the coffee temperature.
● As soon as all the coffee has
brewed, switch off and unplug the
machine.
● If you haven’t used the machine for
a while, run one lot of water through
it (without coffee) to clean it out. Fill
the water tank to the top cup mark
