Before brewing coffee:

or permanent filter. Be sure that the 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 the desired amount of ground coffee, corresponding to the number of cups being brewed. Many coffee bars and the Specialty Coffee Association of America recommend adding 2 rounded tablespoons (30 ml)of coffee per 6 ounces (170 ml) of water. Some coffee manufacturers recommend using

1 tablespoon (15 ml) per cup. We recommend using 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of ground coffee per cup, but use more or less to suit your taste.

NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 15 tablespoons (225 ml) for this 10 cup (1.5 L) coffeemaker. Exceeding this amount may cause overflow if the coffee is too finely ground.

Replace the filter basket in the filter basket holder and flip the water reservoir lid closed. Press firmly on top where it says "Press to Close". Be sure that it closes securely in place.

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 centre of the pour spout. This ensures lid is closed and in the proper position for brewing and pouring.

Make sure you have replaced the carafe in its position on the heating plate and have closed the top cover. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.

4.Power unit:

Turn the function knob to brew, lift flip switch up to “On” position, and the red indicator light will turn on. Or, set the Auto On function and the green indicator will light.

5.During and after brewing:

The Brew Pause™ feature allows you to remove the carafe from the plate 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 the coffee before the cycle has reached completion, since the coffee brewed at the beginning of the cycle has a flavour profile which is very different from the flavour at the end of the cycle. Removing a cup during the brewing cycle will alter the flavour of the finished pot.

Once the coffee has finished brewing, stir it before serving to blend the flavours. 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 unless you have turned off the ready tone. 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 fresh- ness and temperature are preserved. No need to turn or adjust the lid before pouring.

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

Always turn coffeemaker OFF and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

Lift up the reservoir cover. Remove and discard the paper filter and ground coffee. The filter basket and gold tone filter can be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts after use.

Do not put any water in the unit once the filter basket has been removed. Wipe the area under the filter basket with a damp cloth.
