HOW to Make Coffee, Keeping the Coffee HOT

HOW TO MAKE COFFEE

1.Remove the carafe from the recessed warming plate. Grasp the handle, lift it up, slide the carafe straight out. Open the lid, and fill the carafe with cold water to the desired level (fig. 20).

2.Open the drip coffee reservoir cover, and pour the water into the reservoir. Close the lid of the carafe and place carafe on warming plate.

3.Swing out the filter holder as per fig. 21.

4.Place paper filter into the filter holder (fig. 22). We recommend # 4 cone style filters.

5.Measure coffee into the filter, using the handy measuring spoon provided (fig. 23). Measure slightly less than one level spoon of ground coffee for every cup of water measured into the reservoir. Personal tastes differ. Experiment with varying amounts of coffee, until the desired strength is reached. Replace filter holder.

6.Set the slider on the “ON” position (fig. D).

7.The carafe rests on a warming plate that will keep your coffee at serving temperature. Set the slider to the OFF position if carafe is empty.

At the end of the brewing cycle, the coffee maker will create some steam and start puffing. This is normal and to be expected.

KEEPING THE COFFEE HOT

The coffee is kept warm on a warming plate which begins to heat up when the drip coffeemaker is switched on and will keep the coffee hot until the coffeemaker is switched off.

BREWING SMALL AMOUNT OF COFFEE

If you wish only 5 coffees, the 5/10 coffee switch must be released before switching on the appliance. Set in this position (light off), hot water flows slower through the ground coffee in order to reach an optimum brewing result. With the 5/10 coffee switch depressed the appliance will work at normal speed (fig. 24).

DRIP-INTERRUPTION FEATURE

This special feature is for the person who can’t wait for all of the coffee to be brewed, especially when making 8-10 cups. When carafe is half-filled, remove the carafe and serve. Replace carafe. Flow of coffee into carafe will resume.

To prevent coffee from overflowing from the filter holder during the brewing cycle, the carafe should be immediately returned to the warmingplate after pouring.
