or taking off parts and before
cleaning the appliance.
16. To disconnect, press the power
button on the Brewer to ‘OFF’
status and then remove the plug
from the wall outlet..
17. The glass carafe is designed for
use with the iCoffee warming plate
only. It must never be used on the
range top.
18. Do not set a hot carafe on a wet or
cold surface.
19. Do not use a cracked carafe
or a carafe having a loose or
weakened handle.
20. Do not clean carafe or warming
plate with cleansers, steel wool
pads, or other abrasive pads/

PREPARING YOUR Brewer

Step 1- Remove Labels & Clean

Remove all adhesive tape and labels from Brewer surfaces. Clean the
carafe, carafe lid and removable drip and brew baskets.

Step 2 - Plug in & Set Clock

Plug power cord into outlet. A flashing message “SET CLOCK” and 12:01
am will be displayed. This is the Brewer asking for its clock to be set.
Press the

(hour) or

(minute) flashing buttons until the correct

time and am or pm indicator is
shown.
Now press the clock

button to

lock in the correct time-of-day.
The clock can be set at any time
when the Brewer is not brewing or in
the auto start delayed brewing mode
by pressing the clock

button.

Note: Clock should be set before brewing or using the auto start feature.

Step 3 - Clean & Sanitize Brewer

Fill carafe to 12 cup mark and pour into water reservoir. Ensure drip and
brew baskets are pushed down and firmly seated. Insert brew basket
lid. Close water reservoir lid. Place carafe on warming plate and press
the ON/OFF button. Brewer display will show “HEATING WATER” and
an animation indicating brewing/sanitizing cycle is in progress. To halt
brewing/sanitizing cycle, press ON/OFF again.
Note: If brew basket lid is not firmly inserted into the brew basket the
brewing/sanitizing process will not start. Instead the display will prompt,
“Put Lid On.”
Note: If water reservoir is empty the brewing/sanitizing process will not
start. Instead the display will prompt, “Add H2O.”
If brew basket lid is opened during the brewing/sanitizing it will stop, you
will be alerted by a tone and the message “Put Lid On” will be displayed.
Brewer will remember where it was in the brewing/sanitizing cycle for 20
minutes. If 20 minutes have passed before the lid is closed, brew cycle
will end.
When brewing/sanitizing is complete the end-of-brewing Mozart tone will
sound and the “HEATING WATER” message on the display will be turned
off. Now press the ON/OFF button to end the brewing/sanitizing cycle.

Section 3
USING YOUR Brewer

Brewing Coffee

Fill reservoir with desired amount of water and add an appropriate
amount of your favorite ground coffee to the brew basket. Ensure drip
basket and brew basket are pushed down and firmly seated. Insert brew
basket lid into the brew basket. Close water reservoir lid. Place carafe on
warming plate and press the ON/OFF button. Display will show “HEATING
WATER” and an “ON” animation indicating brewing is in progress. To halt

Note: If brew basket lid is not in place the brewing process will not begin.
You will be alerted by a tone, and the display will prompt, “Put Lid On.”
Note: If water reservoir is empty the brewing process will not begin. You
will be alerted by a tone and the display will prompt, “Add H2O.”
Note: If brew basket lid is removed while brewing is under way, brewing
will pause, you will be alerted by a tone, and the message “Put Lid On”
will be displayed. The iCoffee brewer will remember where it was in the
SteamBrewTM cycle for 20 minutes. If 20 minutes have passed before the
lid is closed, the SteamBrewTM cycle will end.
Note: When brewing is complete the end-of-brewing Mozart tone will
sound and the “HEATING WATER” message on the display will be

delayed brewing mode.

Programming Auto Start (Delayed Brewing)
The iCoffee brewer can be programmed to start brewing at a preselected time. To set the auto start time, press the auto start

Limited One Year Warranty
Remington warrants that your brewer will be free of defects in materials or
workmanship under normal home use for one year from the date of purchase. It
is recommended that you fill out and return the warranty card enclosed with your
Brewer so that your purchase information will be stored in our system. Remington
will, at its option, repair or replace the Brewer without charge upon its receipt of
proof of the date of purchase. If a replacement Brewer is necessary to service this
warranty, the replacement Brewer may be new or reconditioned. If a replacement
Brewer is sent, a new limited one year warranty will be applied to replacement
Brewer.
This warranty only applies to Brewers operated in the United States and Canada.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights
that vary from state to state and, in the case of Canada, from province to province.
What is not covered by the Limited Warranty?
THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL
DAMAGES SUCH AS PROPERTY DAMAGE AND DOES NOT COVER INCIDENTAL
COSTS AND EXPENSES RESULTING FROM ANY BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY,
EVEN IF FORESEEABLE. Some states or provinces do not allow the exclusion
of limitations of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or
exclusion may not apply to you depending on the state or province of purchase.

other than Remington or its authorized services providers, use of parts other than
genuine Remington parts, or external causes such as abuse, misuse, inappropriate
power supply or acts of God.

WARRANTY, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL. IN ADDITION, REMINGTON HEREBY
SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO YOUR
ICOFFEE Brewer, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY

PLEASE READ
You may notice a finely extracted coffee essence (sediment) in your cup
and carafe after brewing. This is normal, and a result of our patented
SteamBrewTM Extraction Technology which eliminates any bitter and
acidic aftertaste, ensuring only rich and “Impossibly Smooth” tasting
coffee. If you prefer less finely extracted coffee essence, please use the
optional filter.
Before brewing, we suggest you adjust the amount of coffee you
normally use. iCoffee users have reported adjusting the amount they
use by adding more or using less coffee in the SteamBrewTM basket to
achieve the strength and flavor they prefer.
Please use medium to coarse ground coffee in the SteamBrewTM
Premium Gold Tone Filter. Avoid using a fine or extra fine grind. The
SteamBrewTM Premium Gold Tone Filter forever eliminates disposable
paper filters.

If you prefer less finely
extracted coffee essence
(sediment),

place the
optional
filter in
carafe as
shown.

To clean, remove and rinse
thoroughly with water.
