Befor_e Fir_st Use

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.

NOTE: These parts can also be washed in the top rack of the dishwasher.

Installing the water filter

Use of the water filter is optional, but strongly recommended. The filter reduces contaminants which impair the coffee flavor. 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; the filter is not intended to remove contaminants in water that is not suitable for drinking.

the rear of the lid.

at the bottom of the water reservoir.

IMPORTANT: Every time you install a new water filter, run the Coffee Maker through a complete brew cycle without coffee. Use a full carafe of clean, cool water.
