Brewing COFFEE

Follow instructions in Before First Use on previous page.

1.Insert charcoal water filter

Follow directions for the preparation and insertion of the filter on page 7.

2.Fill the water reservoir

Open the Coffeemaker reservoir cover by lifting it up. Pour in the desired amount of water using the water level indicator located at the side of the coffeemaker.

3.Set preferences

a.Push the 1–4 cup button if you are brewing fewer than 5 cups.

b.Turn the Carafe Temperature dial to Low (L), Medium (M), or High (H) and heater plate will keep coffee at the temperature you select.

4.Add the ground coffee

Remove the filter basket by grasping the handle and lifting straight up. Insert a #4 paper filter or permanent filter. Be sure that a paper filter is completely open and fully inserted in the basket. It may help to fold and flatten the seams of a paper filter beforehand. Add 1 level scoop of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the amount according to taste.

NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 15 tablespoons for this coffeemaker. Exceeding this amount may cause overflow if the coffee is too finely ground.

Replace the filter basket in the filter basket holder and press firmly on cover to be sure it closes securely.

5.Before brewing coffee

Make sure the glass carafe is in position on the heater plate and the top cover is closed. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.

6.Power unit

Turn the Function knob to brew, press the On/Off button, and the blue indicator light will turn on. Or, set the Auto On function (see page 7) and the Auto On indicator will light.

7.After brewing

When the brewing cycle has been completed, five beeps will sound. Coffee will continue to stream from the filter for several seconds.

Note: Reservoir cover may be hot during and directly after brewing. Wait at least 10 minutes before opening.

Brew Pause™ Feature

This feature interrupts the flow of coffee from the basket to let you pour that first cup mid-brew. Because the flavor profile of coffee brewed at the start of a cycle differs from that brewed towards the end, be aware that using this feature will weaken the flavor strength of the finished pot.

NOTE: Removing carafe for more than 20 seconds may cause filter basket to overflow.
