Adding Water and Ground Coffee

1Lift and open the filter basket lid. For your convenience,

you can lift out the removable filter basket.

2Place a 10–12 cup paper cone-style filter or a permanent filter into the removable filter basket. (Figure 2)

NOTE: If using paper filters, it is important that the sides of the filter fit flush against the side of the filter basket. If filter collapse occurs, dampen the filter before placing in the filter basket and adding ground coffee and water.

3Add the desired amount of coffee and gently shake to

level the coffee. See the Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart.

4Be sure the filter is properly centered and all the way down in the filter basket.

5Fill the decanter with cold, fresh water to the desired capacity

(1 cup equals 5 ounces). For easy and accurate filling, the water markings on the glass decanter show the amount of water needed to make the corresponding desired number of cups. The amount of coffee brewed will always be slightly less than the amount of water poured in the water reservoir. This is due to the minimum

absorption of water by the coffee grounds as well as steam.

6 Pour the water into the water reservoir. Do not fill past the “MAX line” or water will flow out of the overfill hole in the back of the water reservoir. Close the lid and place the empty decanter onto the warming plate.

NOTE: Make sure the decanter is fully placed on the warming plate or the water and the grounds will overflow from the filter basket. An overflow may cause personal injury or damage to property.

CAUTION! To reduce the risk of damaging the decanter and/or the risk of personal injury, do not add cold water to the decanter if the decanter is already hot. Allow the decanter to cool before using.

BREWING COFFEE NOW

1After completing the steps in the “Adding Water and Coffee” section and with the decanter and the filter basket securely in place.

2Press the AUTO/ON/OFF Button to begin the brewing cycle. The red indicator light will turn on to signal that the coffeemaker is brewing. When the brewing

cycle is complete, the coffeemaker switches over to the warming mode. Your coffeemaker will keep your coffee hot for 2 hours, then automatically shut off.

While the coffee is brewing, the Pause ’n Serve feature allows you to sneak a cup of coffee from the decanter.

Replace the decanter on the warming plate within 30 seconds to prevent overflow and possible injury. To turn the coffeemaker off, push the AUTO/ON/OFF button until the light goes off. (fig 3)

3To enjoy a more full flavored cup of coffee, press the

STRONG BREW button once. The STRONG BREW blue light will turn on. The coffeemaker will remain in

the STRONG BREW you have selected until you change it back to REGULAR strength by pressing the STRONG BREW button or until you unplug the machine (figure 4).
