Filling The water Chamber
1. open the hinged water chamber lid (see figure 5). Pour in the desired quantity of
water (see figure 6). the amount of freshly brewed coffee delivered after the
brewing process will always be slightly less than the amount put into the water
chamber. this is due to the absorption of the water by the ground coffee.
therefore, put in a little more water to begin with so that you will have the
number of cups that you desire.
2. Place the glass carafe with lid in position on the warming plate.
3. turn on your Coffee maker using the on/off button. the indicator light will
illuminate indicating that the brewing process has begun (see figure 7).
Pause & Serve Feature
this device automatically stops the flow of brewed coffee through the filter cone if the
glass carafe is removed from the warming plate during the brewing cycle. You have
about 20 seconds between the removal of the carafe and reinserting it back onto the
warming plate. the Pause & serve device closes off the filter cone so effectively that
there is virtually no coffee-drip onto the warming plate. once the carafe is replaced,
the brewing process and the flow of coffee into the carafe can be resumed.
Caution
if the coffee Does drip onto the warming plate after the removal of the carafe, it is
usually an indication that the seal in the filter holder is missing or defective. it is also
possible that too much ground coffee has been placed in the filter paper. this causes the
water that jets into the filter cone to overflow between the filter and the sides of the filter
cone. if this blockage and subsequent dripping does occur, put the glass carafe
immediately back onto the warming plate, and allow the full brewing cycle to run its
course. Do not swing out the swivel filter until the brewing process is completed.
CLeAninG
• Before cleaning, turn off the machine, unplug it, and allow it to cool down.
• Clean the filter basket, carafe and lid in a solution of warm water and mild liquid
soap. these parts can also be placed in the upper level of your dishwasher away
from the heating element for safe effective cleaning.
• the machine can be wiped clean by using a damp cloth.
• Clean the brewing head with a damp cloth and remove ground coffee.
• if there is water left in the boiler chamber, let the machine cool down, remove all
loose parts and empty through the top opening by turning upside down.
• never use scouring agents.
• never immerse the appliance itself in water.
• never use a cloth to clean inside of the water chamber, as this might leave fuzzy
deposits in the chamber. Just rinse with cold water periodically.
