PREPARING

THE COFFEE MAKER FOR USE

Pre-Use Cleaning

Wash the filter basket, basket insert, carafe, and carafe lids in hot, soapy water, then rinse with clean water and dry. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads. These parts may also be washed in the top rack of the dishwasher.

Installing the Water Filter

Since most tap water is chlorinated and contains some level of calcium, the use of a PRO LINE® Series Water Filter is recommended. The advanced ion-exchange water filter reduces chlorine and other contaminants which impair coffee flavor. The filter also softens the water, which extends the time between descalings.

The PRO LINE® Series Water Filter will filter approximately 25 gallons of water (60 full carafes). When a filter has reached the end of its life, the water filter icon will appear on the brew timer display.

Use of the water filter is optional: the coffee maker will operate normally without it. If a water filter is not used, the filter icon will still appear on the brew timer display as a reminder to descale the coffee maker. To reset the icon after it appears, see page 23.

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

To Install the Filter:

1.Remove the cartridge from its packaging.

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.

3.Remove the water filter access cover from the coffee maker.
