PREPARING YOUR COFFEE MAKER FOR USE

Pre-Use Cleaning

Wash the brew basket, Gold Tone permanent filter, and carafe in hot, soapy water, then rinse with clean water and dry. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.

Installing the Water Filter

Use of the water filter is strongly recommended. The filter reduces contaminants which impair the coffee flavor. Use of the filter is optional. The coffee maker will operate normally without it.

The water filter is for use only with municipally treated tap water or well water that is regularly tested for contaminants.

1.The filter consists of a long handle with a filter cartridge at the end.

2.Place the filter cartridge in a separate container filled with fresh, cool water. The cartridge should remain submerged in the water for 10 minutes. Rinse the filter under running water for 5 seconds after soaking.

3.Lift the water tank lid using the tab on the rear of the lid.

4.Place the filter cartridge in the well at the bottom of the water reservoir. Push the cartridge slightly to make sure it fits snugly.

5.Every time you install a new filter, run the coffee maker through a complete brewing cycle without coffee. Use a full carafe of clean, cool water.
