CAUTION
• Always switch off the appliance before installing or
removing of the battery cartridge.
• Hold the top of the appliance and the battery cartridge
firmly when installing or removing battery cartridge.
Failure to do so may cause them to slip off your hands
and result in damage to the appliance and battery
cartridge and a personal injury.
• Always install the battery cartridge fully until the red
indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally
fall out of the battery holder, causing injury to you or
someone around you.
• Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the
cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted
correctly.
• Always install the battery to the suitable slot for the
battery cartridge to be used.
When using the appliance first time, or after long period of
storage, perform the following steps:
1. Remove all packing materials from the appliance.
2. Clean the appliance exterior and wash all removable
parts. (refer to the "Daily cleaning" section for

3. To clear any residue from the appliance, pour 240 ml
of fresh water into the water tank and brew without

cover (16) to open the battery slot that you are going to
use ((6) for 18 V or 14.4 V battery cartridge, (5) for 10.8
V - 12 V max battery cartridge). Align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place. Insert it all the way until it locks in place with
a little click. If you can see the red indicator (18) on the
