•Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed black coffee are due to the extraction of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffees are used. Over-extraction may also cause oiliness, indicating a need to clean your Coffeemaker.

Brewing Coffee

FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR

•Remove water reservoir, open hinged lid and add the appropriate amount of water. Place removable water reservoir at the top of the unit and flush against it. Push down until plastic notches insert into slots on

the Coffeemaker on both sides.

NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee after the brewing process will always be slightly less than the amount of water placed into the Coffeemaker, 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 or you can remove the detachable water tank from the Coffeemaker to fill with cool water.

PUTTING IN THE COFFEE

•Lift brew basket lid. Insert a standard flat paper filter into the filter basket or a pre- prepared coffee pack.

•After using your Coffeemaker 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 ground specifically for automatic-drip Coffeemakers.

CAUTION: Do not operate your Coffeemaker 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 basket

is locked into place.

Place reservoir flush against

unit and push down.

Push handle of basket down completely then close lid.
