OFFEE
1. Place appliance on dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge.
2. With switch in the OFF position, plug cord into a 120 volt AC electric outlet only.
3. Ensure the brew basket is in place. Place #4 paper or permanent coffee filter in
brew basket and add desired amount of coffee into the filter. We recommend 
one measure (measuring spoon provided) of ground coffee for each cup of 
brewed coffee to start. After using your coffeemaker a few times, you can adjust 
the amount of coffee to suit your own taste. NOTE: The coffee grind should be 
appropriate for a “drip” coffeemaker. Do not use coffee that is ground to a 
powder like consistency. This will prevent water from passing through the 
coffee and may cause hot water or hot coffee to overflow. 
4. Open the hinged water reservoir cover. Using the coffee carafe pour in the
desired quantity of clean cool water for the number of cups you are brewing. 
Close the hinge reservoir cover. Never pour more water into the reservoir 
than the marked maximum level. Do not use warm or hot water to fill 
reservoir. 
5. Place the coffee carafe with lid in position on the warming plate. Make sure
coffee carafe sits flat on inside circle of warming plate. 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. 
6. Turn the coffeemaker to the ON position. The red indicator light will illuminate
indicating that the brewing process has begun. Note: As long as the red 
indicator light is illuminated, the coffee will be kept warm. If the coffee carafe is 
removed before the end of the brew cycle, it must be returned properly to the 
warming plate so the coffee may continue to brew and to avoid hot water or hot 
coffee overflow. 
7. After coffee has been served, switch unit to OFF position and follow directions in
“CLEANING YOUR DRIP COFFEEMAKER” section.
 
• Pause 'n Serve Feature: The Pause 'n Serve Feature allows you pour a cup of 
coffee while still in the brewing process. For optimum flavor, allow half the 
quantity of coffee to finish brewing before removing carafe. Return carafe within 
30 seconds so the coffee may continue to brew and to avoid hot water or hot 
coffee overflow. To prevent scald injury, do not remove any part of 
coffeemaker, other than carafe, during the brew cycle.
