stops. The brewing process can be restarted by pressing the “On” button. Restarting the process will not affect coffee results. If you do not want the grinder to come on again, press the “Grind Off” button before pressing the “On” button. Once the lid is closed, the beeping will stop, and the grind and brew process will start again from the beginning.

5. Before Brewing Coffee

Remove thermal carafe lid by turning in the direction of the “unlock” arrow. Prewarm carafe by rinsing it out with hot water. PREWARMING THE CARAFE WILL HELP KEEP THE COFFEE HOTTER.

Return the carafe lid to the carafe. To lock the lid, turn in the direction of the “lock” arrow until it fits tightly on carafe and arrow lines up in the center of the pour spout. This ensures lid is closed and in the proper position for brewing and pouring.

Make sure you have replaced the thermal carafe in its position on the resting plate and have placed a filter in the filter basket. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet. “12:00” will appear until you set the time. This will not interfere with the operation of the coffeemaker. To set clock, see the “Programming Your Coffeemaker” section, page 8.

6. Power Unit

a) Immediate grinding and brewing:

Press the ON button. The indicator will light and the process will begin.

b) Programmed Brewing:

Press the “Program” buttonThe. indicator will light and the display will show the programmed time for as long as the button is depressed. The display reverts back to time of day once the button is released. To set the programmed time, see “Programming Your Coffeemaker” on page 8.

7. Select Cups Setting

The 1-4 cup setting button is used when you make small amounts of coffee. Normal coffeemakers will produce a colder batch of coffee when smaller amounts are made, because the heater doesn't have enough time to properly ‘warm up’ to heat a small amount.

The 1-4 setting basically ‘double heats’ the water, making your smaller amount as piping hot as a full pot would be.

To use: When making a smaller amount, press the 1-4 button on the control panel after turning on the unit. The indicator light will illuminate. Note that the 1-4 button can be set at any time.

8. During and After Brewing

The Brew Pause™ feature allows you to remove the carafe during mid-brew. The brewing process does not stop during this period; only the flow of coffee from the basket stops. Do not remove the carafe for longer than 30 seconds or the coffee may overflow the basket. While we offer this feature, we do not recommend that you pour coffee before the cycle has reached completion, since the coffee brewed at the beginning of the cycle has a flavor profile which is very different from the coffee made at the end of the cycle. Removing a cup during the brewing cycle will alter the flavor of the finished pot.

Once the coffee has finished brewing, stir it before serving to blend the flavors. The coffee at the bottom of the carafe will be somewhat stronger than the coffee at the top.

When the brewing cycle has been completed, five beeps will sound. Coffee will continue

to stream from the filter for several seconds.

After brewing, the unit will automatically shut itself off. The thermal carafe will keep the coffee hot for hours.

Bottom of Thermal Carafe is hot to touch for several minutes after brewing.

Use caution.

The brew-through, pour-through lid allows coffee to drip from coffeemaker through the closed lid. When brewing is complete, the lid seals itself so air stays out and coffee freshness and temperature are preserved. No need to turn or adjust the lid before pouring.
