BREW STRENGTH SETTING

After preparing the ground coffee, decide the strength of coffee you want to brew. You must set the brew strength setting to Strong or Standard before turning on the coffeemaker. Deciding which setting is best for you will depend on your taste preferences and the preferences of those with whom you share your coffee moments. If you choose Strong, the coffeemaker will brew more slowly. For instance, 8 cups of coffee will take approximately 20 minutes to brew. This is normal in order to have fresh, robust coffee.

6.To begin brewing, press the switch to ON.

The ON/OFF switch will light, indicating that the coffeemaker is on and the brew cycle will begin. When the coffee stops flowing, the brew cycle is complete.

While the coffee is brewing, the Pause ’n Serve feature allows you to sneak a cup of coffee from the decanter. REPLACE THE DECANTER ON THE WARMING PLATE WITHIN 30 SECONDS TO PREVENT OVERFLOW AND POSSIBLE INJURY.

If the brew basket overflows or fails to empty into the decanter, do not open the brew basket. Unplug the coffeemaker and wait for the contents to cool before handling. The problem

is most likely the filter basket not being locked into the appliance. See Step 8 below for more information.

Do not remove reservoir during the brew cycle. The coffeemaker will get hot and release steam while brewing. Please be careful and allow the coffeemaker to cool before handling.

7.To turn off the coffeemaker, press the switch to Off.

8.To discard the coffee grounds and clean the filter basket, please pay close attention to these instructions:

Swing the showerhead to the right and lift up on the filter basket by its handle. Discard the paper filter and grounds into the trash can. If using a permanent filter, rinse the filter with warm water after discarding the grounds. You may rinse the filter basket with warm water.

Return the filter basket to the appliance. Make sure the filter basket is positioned so the square hole on the top rim is placed closest to the water reservoir. While holding the handle upright, place the filter basket back into the appliance ensuring that the handle locks into the appliance as you push downward and swing the handle towards the back of the unit. The handle serves as a locking mechanism when positioning the filter basket into the appliance. If the filter basket does not lock into position, the brew basket will overflow while brewing coffee.
