USING YOUR DRIP COFFEEMAKER – PREPARING COFFEE
1.Place appliance on dry, level,
2.Plug cord into a 120 volt AC electric outlet only.
3.Open the hinged water reservoir and pour in the desired quantity of clean cool water for the number of cups you are brewing. Never pour more water into the reservoir than the marked maximum level. For maximum flavor do not use warm or hot water to fill reservoir.
4.Place a #4 cone paper coffee filter into the brew basket. Add desired amount of coffee into the filter. We recommend one measure (measuring spoon provided) of ground coffee for every two cups of brewed coffee to start. After using your coffeemaker a few times, adjust the amount of coffee to suit your own taste. Do not use more than a total of ½ cup of coffee grounds due to possible flooding. NOTE: The coffee grind should be appropriate for a “drip” coffeemaker. Do not use coffee that is ground to a powder like consistency as this will prevent water from passing through the coffee and may cause hot water/coffee overflow.
5.Close the reservoir cover.
6.Place the coffee carafe with lid in position on the warming plate. Make sure coffee carafe sits flat on inside circle of warming plate. NOTE: The lid of the carafe must be in place and properly positioned on the coffee carafe during the brew process or hot water or hot coffee may overflow.
7.Turn the coffeemaker to the ON position. The indicator light will illuminate indicating that the brewing process has begun. NOTE: The coffee will not brew unless the carafe is in place. Ensure the carafe is in place before turning coffeemaker on.
Glass Carafe Model – As long as the indicator light is illuminated, the coffee will be kept warm. The coffeemaker is designed to automatically turn off after the programmed hours of keep warm. After the keep warm period, the coffee maker and indicator light will turn off.
Thermal Carafe Model – The thermal carafe model turns off automatically and the indicator light will turn off as soon as the brew cycle is complete. There is no keep warm period; the thermal carafe will keep the coffee warm for hours.
8.Unplug cord from electrical outlet after use and allow the Coffeemaker to cool completely before cleaning.
•Pause 'n Serve Feature: The Pause 'n Serve Feature allows you to pour a cup of coffee during the brewing process. For optimum flavor, allow half the quantity of coffee to finish brewing before removing carafe. Return the carafe as soon as possible so the coffee may continue to brew. The brew stop feature will not allow the coffeemaker to brew unless the carafe is in place. To prevent scald injury, do not remove any part of coffeemaker, other than carafe, during the brew cycle.
