Operating Your Coffee Maker

ENGLISH

6.Shake the brew basket slightly to even out the bed of coffee. Place the basket into the Coffee Maker, push it down to seat it securely. Be sure the front lid is fully closed before brewing.

7.Press the On/Off Button to begin brewing coffee. If you are only brewing 1 to 4 cups of coffee, press the 1-4 Cup Button immediately after pressing the On/Off Button. The 1 to 4 cup brew cycle ensures optimum flavor when brewing small pots

of coffee.

NOTE: Lifting the front lid while coffee is brewing will interrupt the brew process and impair flavor.

8.The Coffee Maker will sound the end- of-brewing tone when brewing is complete.

9.The “Time Since Brew” display indicates the time elapsed since the completion of the brewing cycle.

10.At the end of 2 hours, the Coffee Maker will automatically shut off. To turn off the Coffee Maker manually, press the On/Off button. The outside of the carafe may be warm to the touch after brewing. Use discretion when placing the carafe on unprotected surfaces immediately after brewing.

11.Repeat steps 1-8 to brew additional carafes of coffee. Always turn off the Coffee Maker and allow it to cool for five minutes before starting the next brew cycle.

THE PAUSE AND POUR FEATURE

The pause and pour feature enables you to remove the carafe from the Coffee Maker and pour a cup of coffee before brewing is finished. When the carafe is removed, a special valve stops the flow of coffee from the brew basket. Brewing, however, does not stop. If the carafe

is not placed back on the Carafe Tray within 25 seconds, water and coffee will overflow the brew basket.

USING THE AUTOMATIC BREW TIMER

The Coffee Maker can be programmed to brew coffee at a preset time, making it easy to wake up to fresh coffee every morning.

To program and activate the automatic brew timer:

1.Press the Set (Program) Button. The brew timer display and Set (Program) indicator will begin to flash. The brew timer display will show the last brew time set.

2.Press the “H” (hour) and “M” (minute) Buttons below the brew timer display to set the hour and minutes. If a “H” or “M” Button is pressed and held, the digits will scroll rapidly. The AM and PM indicator lights on the brew timer display will change when the hour digits roll past “12”. Make sure the desired brew time is correct with respect to AM or PM.
