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 tank, 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:
1.Lift out removable filter basket. The permanent filter (included) may be used instead of or in addition to a paper filter (not included). If using paper filters, insert a #4
2.Place the desired amount of ground coffee in the filter. According to coffee industry standards, use one standard coffee measure (2 level tablespoons) of grounds for each six ounces of water. After using your coffee maker several times, the amount of coffee may be adjusted to suit your particular taste by decreasing or increasing the amount of coffee used.
NOTE: Be sure to use coffee grounds prepared specifically for use with automatic drip coffee makers.
3.Return the filter basket to the inside of the coffee maker. Be sure the filter basket is seated properly inside the coffee maker. Close the lid on top of the coffee maker. CAUTION: Do not operate your coffee maker if the lid does not close completely. If the lid does not close completely, check to see that the filter basket is properly sealed, and snap into place.
4.Adjust the ACCUFLAVOR dial as desired to change the strength of your coffee. Turn the control to the left for light coffee and to the right for dark (or strong) coffee.
5.Screw the lid onto the thermal carafe until it locks into place (For Brewing, the arrow should line up with 
. For Pouring, the arrow should line up with 
.)
6.Plug the unit into an outlet and press the ON/OFF button.
7.Press the ON/OFF button twice to begin brewing immediately. The ON/OFF button will illuminate and the coffee maker will start the brewing process.
