BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
CAUTION: To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the Coffee Maker or allow
power cord to come into contact with water or other liquids.
1. Remove all packing material and labels from the inside and outside of the Coffee Maker.
Place the unit on a flat, clean surface.
2. Before preparing coffee, thoroughly clean the glass carafe and lid, removable filter holder
and permanent coffee filter in hot, sudsy water. Rinse and dry. Replace disassembled
parts. See Care & Cleaning Instructions for a detailed description.
3. Clean the inside of the Coffee Maker by brewing 2 full carafes of water
(see Brewing Coffee Instructions). Do not add the permanent coffee filter or ground coffee
for this initial cleaning.
NOTE: At the end of the first cycle, allow 15 minutes for the unit to cool.
4. Brew a second carafe of fresh water.
5. Wait an additional 15 minutes to allow the unit to cool before brewing your first carafe
of coffee.
BREWING COFFEE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Lift to open the Coffee Maker lid. Fill carafe with cold water and pour into water reservoir
at the back of the unit. The stepped water level indicator can be easily viewed inside unit.
IMPORTANT: Before brewing, always check to make sure water level is past the MIN line
and add water if needed. Never exceed the MAX fill line.
NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee will always be less than the amount of water placed
into the water reservoir; as much as 10% is absorbed by coffee grounds and filter.
2. Place empty carafe on the warming plate.
3. Place the permanent filter in the removable filter holder. Approximately 1 level tablespoon
is recommended for each cup of coffee desired. For stronger or milder coffee, adjust
amount of coffee to suit your taste.
4. Drop the filter holder down into the housing. Close the lid.
5. Plug Coffee Maker into a 120V AC electrical wall outlet.
6. Press the BREW button. The Coffee Maker will begin the brew cycle.
NOTE: To interrupt the brewing process at any time, press the BREW button; then
remove plug from wall outlet.
7. Using the pause and serve feature: If you wish to serve a cup of coffee before the brew
cycle is completed, simply remove carafe from warming plate. Dripping will automatically
cease. Return carafe to position on warming plate; dripping will resume.
CAUTION: To prevent injury when utilizing pause and serve feature, replace carafe within
30 seconds after removing during the brewing process.
8. Upon completion of the brew cycle, wait at least 1 minute until the brew dripping from
the filter holder into the carafe has stopped. The carafe lid should be kept in place to
facilitate safe serving and help keep coffee at proper serving temperature. Tilt the carafe
slightly and pour hot coffee very slowly, so that the flow of the brewed coffee does not
exceed the width of the spout.
9. Press the BREW button to turn the Coffee Maker OFF when the carafe is empty or when
unit is not in use; then remove plug from wall outlet.
