4. MAKING COFFEE

1. Place the coffee maker on a hard, flat surface. With the coffeemaker turned off, plug
the machine into a 120V outlet.
2. Fill the carafe with fresh, cold water (preferably bottled or filtered water). Open the
hinged cover and pour the water into the water tank. The number of cups is shown by
the water level indicator. Do not exceed the maximum level (Fig. 1, 2 and 3).
3. Place the carafe with its lid onto the heating plate (h), making sure it is secure on the
heating plate to activate the pouring mechanism.
TIPS & ADVICE
The amount of brewed coffee will be less than the water placed in the coffeemaker
since about 10% is absorbed by the coffee grounds and the filter.
CAUTION: To avoid overflowing the filter holder, the carafe must fit securely
into the coffeemaker with the lid on. If not properly positioned on the heating
plate, it could cause hot water or hot coffee to overflow.
4. Open the coffee maker lid (b), insert the filter holder (i) by using the two handles on
either side. Make sure it is securely pushed down and locked into place. Then insert a
standard #4 cone paper filter or the permanent filter (j) into the filter holder (i). Use a
fresh paper filter or clean the permanent filter for each carafe of coffee (Fig. 4 and 5).
5. Add about 10 flat spoons (r) ground coffee for 12 cups. Experiment with the amount
of coffee used in order to adjust the flavor to your taste (Fig.6).
6. Close the top lid making sure it is securely closed (Fig. 7).
7. Press the On/Off button (k). The button will illuminate, indicating that your coffee
maker has begun the brewing cycle.

as the keep warm cycle starts. The anti drip valve will prevent any remaining coffee
dripping onto the hot plate. Ensure that the carafe is replaced on the hot plate after
serving.
Notes: When the brewing cycle is finished, there will still be hot liquid in the filter
basket. Wait a few minutes for the rest of the liquid to drip through into the carafe.
The keep warm function will operate for up to 30 minutes. During the keep warm cycle,
the On/Off button (k) will stay illuminated. At any time you can stop the keep warm
cycle just by pressing the On/Off button (k).
