OPERATING YOUR COFFEE MAKER (continued)
NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee after the brewing process is complete will always be slightly less than the amount of water placed in the coffee maker’s water reservoir, 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.
PREPARING THE COFFEE:
7.Swing the filter basket door outward to your left. The included permanent filter may be used instead of a paper filter. If using paper filters, insert a #4 cone- shaped filter into the filter basket before filling with coffee grounds.
8.Place the filter (either paper or permanent) into the filter basket. Then place the desired amount of ground coffee in the filter. According to coffee industry standards, use one standard coffee measure (2 level tablespoons) of coffee grounds for each six ounces of water. NOTE: We recom- mend using coffee grounds specifically for automatic drip coffee makers. After using your drip
coffee maker several times, the coffee may beFIGURE 6 adjusted to suit your particular taste by decreasing or increasing the amount of
coffee grounds used.
9.Swing the filter basket door closed and snap into place. CAUTION: Do not operate your coffee maker if the door does not close completely. If the door does not close completely, check to see that the filter basket is properly seated inside the filter basket holder, and snap door into place.
10.Close the hinged water reservoir cover. Place the carafe with the lid in place on the warming plate.
