USING YOUR COFFEE MAKER’S CONTROLS

•Power Switch – This switch controls power to the Coffee Maker. This is a push switch with a momentary contact to turn on and off.

•On Light – This button indicates that power is going to the Coffee Maker and the Coffee Maker is in normal operating stage.

FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR

•Open the hinged water reservoir cover located at the top of the Coffee Maker. Fill the glass carafe with the desired amount of cold water. Empty the water from the carafe into the water reservoir. POUR SLOWLY WHEN CARAFE IS FULL. Close the hinged lid. Place the glass carafe

with the lid in place on the warming plate.

NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee after the brewing process will always be slightly less than the amount of water placed into the Coffee Maker, since some water is absorbed by the coffee grounds and filter. Add a little extra water at the beginning so that you have the exact number of cups desired.

PUTTING IN THE COFFEE

•Pull the filter basket straight outward. Insert a standard flat paper filter into the filter basket or a pre-prepared coffee pack.

•Place the desired amount of ground coffee into the filter. Use 1 tablespoon of grounds per cup (5 oz.) of water. One coffee scoop equals 2 tablespoons.

•After using your Coffee Maker several times, the amount of coffee may be adjusted to suit your particular taste, by decreasing or increasing the amount of coffee used. Be sure to use coffee grounds prepared specifically for automatic drip coffee makers. Snap basket into place.

CAUTION: Do not operate your Coffee Maker if the basket is not inserted completely. If the basket does not insert completely, check to see that the filter packet is properly seated and snap basket into place.

•Push switch on to start the brew cycle. The On Light will light up, indicating that the Coffee Maker has begun the brewing cycle. In a few minutes the Coffee Maker will complete the brewing cycle and switch over to the warming mode.

•With the Auto-Off feature, the unit will turn itself off after 1 hour. To continue heating the coffee, simply push the switch again for another hour of heating.

•Push switch to off when the carafe is empty or when the Coffee Maker is not in use.

HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE

•Always use fresh, cold water in your Coffee Maker.

•Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep it tightly sealed in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
