How do I turn it on?

The base should always be placed on a dry, stable countertop. Lightly touch the touch senor button (small indentation on the base) to turn on the power. The base will go into ‘sleep mode’ after 1.5 hours. To make it work again, just touch the touch sensor. Check to see if the power cord connection light in the back of the base is on. If the light is white, this means that there is power in the battery. A full battery should last up to 6 hours. If the light is orange, the battery will need to be charged soon. If the light is blinking orange, plug the charger in.  The magnetic charging cable is unique to the Swirl. Other USB power cords will not work. Once the base is turned on, fill up the glass carafe up to the 1.5 liters mark. Gently place the carafe in the center of the base. Make sure it is centered and not off balance. In about 10 minutes, pour and enjoy!
