Getting Started
Before you begin programming your Wolf coffee maker, ensure you have the following:

Step-by-Step Programming Instructions
1. Fill the Water Reservoir
Remove the water reservoir from the coffee maker and fill it with cold, filtered water. Align the reservoir with the designated slot and insert it back into the coffee maker.
2. Add Ground Coffee
Open the coffee filter basket and add the desired amount of ground coffee. Use the measuring spoon provided with your coffee maker to ensure accuracy.
3. Close the Filter Basket
Close the coffee filter basket securely to prevent any grounds from escaping.
4. Select Grind Size
Locate the grind size selector on the coffee maker and adjust it to your desired grind size. For a bolder flavor, select a finer grind; for a lighter flavor, select a coarser grind.
5. Choose Brew Strength
Select the desired brew strength using the brew strength selector. Options typically include regular, bold, and extra bold.
6. Set Brew Time

Advanced Programming Features
8. Auto-On Function
Enable the auto-on function to have your coffee maker start brewing automatically at the scheduled time. This feature is particularly convenient for morning coffee enthusiasts.
