and turn clockwise, (see figure 2).Reposition chamber in coffeemaker aligning
tabs on chamber and grooves in coffeemaker, replace lid.The water will be fil-
tered when poured either directly through the water chamber or through the
frontal water fill. Filters should be replaced either after 60 uses or 6 we e k s

Each charcoal water filter comes with a set of monthly stickers to attach to the
label located on the water chamber lid.Write day next to month; this will allow
you to keep track when you started using the water filter.
If you use spring or bottled water or your water contains only a small amount
of chlorine, you may not notice a difference in the taste of your coffee when
using the filter.
BREW STRENGTH SELECTOR
To ensure optimum flavor, the brewing strength selector regulates the brewing
process based upon the amount of coffee being prepared.When preparing four
cups or less, turn the switch to the 1-4. This will slow down the flow of water
into the filter basket to provide a rich coffee flavor by promoting a better satu-
ration of grounds for smaller quantities. When preparing five or more cups, turn
the switch to 5-10.This will prepare a full pot of coffee at the normal rate, allow-
ing ample time for the grounds to be saturated, without importing a bitter taste.
