tank and the other hand on the silver part of the filter basket holder, Fig. B1. Then pull the filter basket holder away from the coffee maker (clockwise) until it is completely open, Fig. B2. Lift the filter basket out of the basket holder using the filter basket handle, Fig. C. After washing, replace filter basket in filter basket holder, fitting the tab on the basket in the slot toward the back of the basket holder, Fig. C.
Prior to brewing your first pot of coffee, or if the coffee maker has not been used for a long period of time, it is suggested that you brew water only, to thoroughly rinse the appliance. To do this, follow the brewing instructions below, except do not use a paper filter or ground coffee and fill water tank only to the 8 cup level. Discard heated water.

3.Open the hinged lid on the coffee maker’s water tank (see Fig. A) and pour the water into the tank. Fill to the desired level and close the hinged lid. To assure best flavor, make at least two cups at a time.
4.Open the filter basket holder as shown in Figs. B1 and B2. With the handle in the lifting position (Fig. C), slip a #4 cone- shaped paper filter into the filter basket. Using your hand, push down on the center of the paper filter until it is fully seated in the basket. Then lower the basket handle so that a portion of the filter paper is tucked under the handle.
5.Add the desired amount of ground coffee to the filter. For best results, we recommend coffee ground for use with drip coffee makers. The chart on the next page provides suggested amounts of ground coffee. Because individual preferences vary, you may adjust the amount you use to suit your taste.

6.Push the filter basket holder back to its closed position directly below the black top.

Note: Always remember to center the carafe on the warming plate before turning the unit ON, otherwise brewed coffee may flow onto the warming plate or counter.
8.For immediate brewing, press the AUTO ON/OFF button TWICE, see Fig. D. The green ON indicator light will come on indicating the coffee is brewing. It will take approximately 8 minutes to brew 10 cups of coffee.
(For delayed brewing, set the programmable timer following the instructions below.)
Using pause and serve: This feature temporarily holds brewed coffee in the filter basket when the carafe is removed, so you can pour a cup of coffee before the entire pot is brewed.
Note: While you are pouring a cup, coffee continues to brew. The | Fig. D | Display window | |
filter basket will hold about a minute’s worth of brewed coffee which | |||
|

provides sufficient time to pour several cups. After that, to prevent |

damage to the unit, the basket is designed to overflow. Therefore, you |
| lights | |
must be sure to replace the carafe on the warming plate as soon as |
|
| |
you have finished pouring. |
