HOw TO PREPARE QUAlITY COFFEE
SELECTING AND MEASURING GROUND COFFEE
For best results, use coffee ground for use with automatic drip coffeemakers. The
amounts shown below are suggested amounts.
TO BREW USE THIS AMOUNT OF GROUND COFFEE
10 cups 7.5 tablespoons
8 cups 6.5 tablespoons
6 cups 4.5 tablespoons
4 cups 3 tablespoons
note: soft Water usage
In some cases, the combination of soft water with decaffeinated coffee may cause the
coffeemaker to overflow. It is recommended to either reduce the amount of ground
coffee used or to brew fewer cups of coffee at a time.
HOW TO BREW COFFEE
1. Open the lid and insert the permanent filter included or a 10–12 cup cone paper
filter in the removable filter basket.
2. Add the desired amount of ground coffee to the filter, making sure the grounds are
level in the filter.
3. Fill the reservoir with the desired amount of water.
4. Place the carafe on the warming plate.
Make sure the carafe is accurately centered on the warming plate or the water and
grounds will overflow from the brew basket.
5. To begin brewing, press the switch to ON.
The ON/OFF switch will light, indicating that the coffeemaker is on and the brew cycle
will begin. When the coffee stops flowing, the brew cycle is complete.
While the coffee is brewing, the Pause ’n Serve feature allows you to sneak a cup
of coffee from the carafe. REPLACE THE Carafe ON THE WARMING PLATE WITHIN 30
SECONDS TO PREVENT OVERFLOW AND POSSIBLE INJURY.
If the brew basket overflows or fails to empty into the carafe, do not open the brew
basket. Unplug the coffeemaker and wait for the contents to cool before handling.
The problem is most likely the filter basket not being locked into the appliance. See
Step 8 below for more information.
6. To turn off the coffeemaker, press the switch to Off.
