BREWING COFFEE
Follow instructions in Before First Use
on previous page.
1. Insert charcoal water filter
Follow directions for the preparation and
insertion of the filter on page 7.
2. Fill the water reservoir
Open the Coffeemaker reservoir cover by lifting
it up. Pour in the desired amount of water using
the water level indicator located at the side of
the coffeemaker.
3. Set preferences
a. Push the 1–4 cup button if you are brewing
fewer than 5 cups.
b. Turn the Carafe Temperature dial to Low (L),
Medium (M), or High (H) and heater plate will
keep coffee at the temperature you select.
4. Add the ground coffee
Remove the filter basket by grasping the handle
and lifting straight up. Insert a #4 paper filter or
permanent filter. Be sure that a paper filter is
completely open and fully inserted in the
basket. It may help to fold and flatten the seams
of a paper filter beforehand. Add 1 level scoop
of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the amount
according to taste.
NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground
coffee is 15 tablespoons for this
coffeemaker. Exceeding this amount may
cause overflow if the coffee is too finely
ground.
Replace the filter basket in the filter basket
holder and press firmly on cover to be sure it
closes securely.
5. Before brewing coffee
Make sure the glass carafe is in position on the
heater plate and the top cover is closed. Plug
the cord into an electrical outlet.
6. Power unit
Turn the Function knob to BREW, press the
On/Off button, and the blue indicator light will
turn on. Or, set the AUTO ON function (see
page 7) and the Auto On indicator will light.
7. After brewing
When the brewing cycle has been completed,
five beeps will sound. Coffee will continue to
stream from the filter for several seconds.
NOTE: Reservoir cover may be hot during
and directly after brewing. Wait at least 10
minutes before opening.
USING THE HOT
WATER SYSTEM
Follow instructions in Before First Use
on previous page.
1. Insert charcoal water filter
Follow directions for the preparation and
insertion of the filter on page 7.
2. Fill the water reservoir
Open the Hot Water reservoir cover by lifting
it up. Fill the reservoir with water, making sure
not to fill above the Max fill line.
3. Heating
Press the On/Off button on the Hot Water side
of your unit. The blue On indicator around the
On/Off button will light. The Water Ready
indicator will flash while the unit is heating.
Once the unit has heated, the Water Ready
indicator will become solid.
4. Dispensing water
To dispense water, be sure the safety switch,
which is located below the lever, is in the
unlocked position. Simply slide the safety
switch to the left to unlock. Then place a cup
on the drip tray and press the lever down –
the unit dispenses up to 13 ounces of hot
water at a time. If desired, return the safety
lock to the locked position (to the right) after
dispensing water.
NOTE: You can remove the drip tray to
accommodate tall mugs.
5. After dispensing
The heater will immediately begin heating more
water. The Water Ready indicator will again flash
until water reaches serving temperature.
NOTE: The red Add Water indicator will
light if more water is needed.
6. Turning off Hot Water System
To turn off your Hot Water System at any time,
press the On/Off button. The On indicator will
turn off, but the Water Ready indicator will
remain lit until water has cooled below serving
temperature.
BREW PAUSE ™ FEATURE
This feature interrupts the flow of coffee
from the basket to let you pour that first
cup mid-brew. Because the flavor profile of
coffee brewed at the start of a cycle differs
from that brewed towards the end, be
aware that using this feature will weaken
the flavor strength of the finished pot.
NOTE: Removing carafe for more than 20
seconds may cause filter basket to
overflow.
