Operating Your Coffee Maker

To Remove Lid: Turn the lid counter- clockwise to approximately the eleven o’clock position, and lift the lid out.

Maximize Coffee Temperature

To maximize coffee temperature, preheat the carafe before brewing by removing the lid and rinsing the interior with hot tap water.

Hand Wash Only

Do not clean the carafe in a dishwasher. Wash or rinse it by hand.

BREWING COFFEE

NOTE: Brew one pot of fresh, cool water and discard before brewing the first pot of coffee. (First time use only).

1.Lift the front lid and fill the water reservoir, pouring fresh, cool water into the reservoir fill-channel to the right of the brew basket. Use the graduated scale on the water filter handle to gauge the amount of water for the desired amount of coffee.

The scale is a measurement of water volume in 41⁄4 ounce cups.

2.After filing the reservoir, place the carafe on the Coffee Maker’s carafe tray. Make sure the lid is secure and in the locked position, and the bottom of the carafe is fully seated on the tray

– if the carafe isn’t seated, the pause and pour feature may engage and coffee may overflow the brew basket.

3.Remove the brew basket from the top of the Coffee Maker by grasping the finger loop on the front of the basket.

4.Insert a 10-12 cup flat-bottom paper filter or the gold tone permanent filter into the brew basket. Do not use both types of filters at the same time. Using both filters might cause water and coffee to overflow the brew basket.

5.Using the included scoop, fill the filter with one level scoop of ground coffee for each cup desired. Use a medium grind appropriate for automatic drip coffee makers: too fine a grind will produce bitterness and may clog the coffee filter.

NOTE: Always place the filter and coffee into the removable brew basket. Do not operate the Coffee Maker without the brew basket in place.
