How to Brew Coffee

•Place your coffee maker on a flat, level surface away from any edge.

•Plug the unit into a 120 volt 60 Hz AC-only outlet.

•The lid of the carafe must be fitted properly during the brewing process and the carafe must be set squarely on the carafe plate.

•The filter basket holder must be completely closed during the brewing process. You should hear and feel it snap into place.

CAUTION: If the filter basket holder is not completely closed, the Pause & Serve Activator will not function properly. It could cause hot water or hot coffee to overflow.

Adding water

•Open the hinged water reservoir cover located at the top of the coffee maker. Fill the carafe with the desired amount of cold water. Empty the water from the carafe into the water reservoir. The water window indicates how much water is in the container. Close the hinged lid. Place the carafe with the lid in place on the carafe plate.

Note: The amount of brewed coffee after the brewing process is complete will always be slightly less than the amount of water placed into the coffee maker, since some water is absorbed by the coffee grounds and filter. Add a little extra water at the beginning so that you have the exact number of cups desired.

Putting in the coffee

•Swing the filter basket holder outward to your left. The removable filter basket should be in place inside the basket holder. Insert either a #4 cone-shaped paper filter or the included washable permanent filter into the filter basket before filling with coffee.

•Place the desired amount of ground coffee into the filter. (See Coffee Measurements chart on page 9.) After using your coffee maker several times, the amount of coffee may be adjusted to suit
