BREWING COFFEE NOW
1. After completing the steps in the Adding Water and Coffee
section and with the decanter and the filter basket securely in
place, turn the coffeemaker on by pressing the BREW NOW button
once (Figure 7). The BREW NOW light will turn on and pulse to
signal that the coffeemaker is on and brewing.
2. After the used coffee grounds have cooled, carefully remove the
filter basket and discard them.
NOTE: The brew basket drawer is hot after brewing. Always allow
the coffeemaker to cool down before cleaning.
3. Prior to making a second pot of coffee, turn the coffeemaker off. This will reset the
FRESH BREW™ TIMER feature. To turn the coffeemaker off, press the BREW NOW/OFF
button until all lights turn off.
4. Make sure the decanter is empty before starting to brew coffee.
5. Be sure to turn your coffeemaker off when no longer using it.
The Fresh Brew™ Timer Feature
The Fresh Brew™ Timer feature lets you know how long your coffee has been
waiting for you. At the start of the brew cycle, the Fresh Brew™ Timer feature will
automatically be activated. The timer will appear in the lower part of the display under
the clock (Figure 7). This display will be visible any time you are brewing coffee. The
display will change to show the time since brewing began in 15 minute intervals.
BREWING COFFEE LATER
1. You must first set the time for when you would like the
coffeemaker to begin brewing your coffee as described in Setting
the Clock and the Delay Brew Timer section.
2. Prepare your coffeemaker as described in Adding Water and
Ground Coffee section.
3. To activate the DELAY BREW function and program your
coffeemaker to brew coffee at a later time, press the DELAY BREW
button once. The coffeemaker is now set to automatically brew
coffee at the pre-set time (Figure 8).
4. At the pre-set time, the BREW NOW light will turn on and the DELAY BREW light will
turn off, indicating the brewing has started in the selected brew strength. The FRESH
BREW™ TIMER feature will start.
As a safety feature, your coffeemaker will NOT start again automatically the next
day. If you want your coffee to brew at the same time the following day, simply
add a new filter, coffee and water and set DELAY BREW, by repeating Steps 2 and 3
above.
NOTE: If the decanter is not in place then the coffeemaker will not brew.
To cancel DELAY BREW:
Press the DELAY BREW button until all lights turn off (Figure 8).
