Operating Your Coffee Maker
4. Remove the brew basket from the top
of the Coffee Maker by grasping the
finger loop on the front of the basket.
5. Insert a 10-12 cup flat-bottom paper
filter or the gold tone permanent filter
into the brew basket. Do not use both
types of filters at the same time. Using
both filters might cause water and
coffee to overflow the brew basket.
6. Using the included scoop, fill the filter
with one level scoop of ground coffee
for each cup desired. Use a medium
grind appropriate for automatic drip
coffee makers: too fine a grind will
produce bitterness and may clog the
coffee filter.
NOTE: Always place the filter and
coffee into the removable brew basket.
Do not operate the Coffee Maker
without the brew basket in place.
7. Shake the brew basket slightly to even
out the bed of coffee. Place the basket
into the Coffee Maker, push it down
to seat it securely. Be sure the front lid
is fully closed before brewing.
8. Press the On/Off Button to begin
brewing coffee. If you are only
brewing 1 to 4 cups of coffee, press
the 1-4 Cup Button immediately after
pressing the On/Off Button. The 1 to
4 cup brew cycle heats small
quantities of water thoroughly,
ensuring optimum flavor with small
pots of coffee.
NOTE: Lifting the front lid while coffee is
brewing will interrupt the brew process
and impair flavor.
9. The Coffee Maker will sound the
end-of-brewing tone when brewing
is complete.
10. The "Time Since Brew" display
indicates the time elapsed since the
completion of the brewing cycle.
11. At the end of 2 hours, the Coffee
Maker will automatically shut off. To
turn off the Coffee Maker manually,
press the On/Off button. The outside of
the carafe may be warm to the touch
after brewing. Use discretion when
placing the carafe on unprotected
surfaces immediately after brewing.
12. Repeat steps 1-8 to brew additional
carafes of coffee. Always turn off the
Coffee Maker and allow it to cool for
five minutes before starting the next
brew cycle.
THE PAUSE AND POUR FEATURE
The pause and pour feature enables you
to remove the carafe from the Coffee
Maker and pour a cup of coffee before
brewing is finished. When the carafe is
removed, a special valve stops the flow
of coffee from the brew basket. Brewing,
however, does not stop. If the carafe is
not placed back on the Carafe Tray
within 25 seconds, water and coffee will
overflow the brew basket.
