2. Set Up Brew Basket
For brewing into the carafe use the brew basket with the Pause-N-Serve stopper. For brewing into a mug use the
brew basket without the stopper. Place a No# 10-12 flat bottom filter into the brew basket. Add desired amount of
coffee for taste preference. Typically, use 1 tablespoon for each cup. Place brew basket into BREW EXPRESS™.
WARNING: BE CERTAIN BREW BASKET IS COMPLETELY INSERTED, OTHERWISE PROBLEMS MAY OCCUR SUCH AS
EXCESS STEAM OR OVERFILLING
3. Position Carafe or Mug
Position an EMPTY carafe or mug in the BREW EXPRESS™ under the brew basket outlet hole. The detection sensor
will not allow the brewer to operate unless the carafe or mug is positioned under the brew basket. The brew light on
the display panel will blink if nothing is detected. The sensor is designed to recognize a variety of materials. The sen-
sor may not detect a mug that is flat black. If this occurs, use a different colored mug.

pensed from the BREW EXPRESS™. 2-cup (9oz), 1/2 carafe (27oz), full carafe (54oz) amounts may vary.

To manually start a brew cycle move the slide switch from OFF to ON. If the switch is already in the ON position,
switch it to the OFF position and then back to ON. The brew light will turn on once the cycle has started. If brewer
is cold, the heater will preheat the water before starting the brew cycle. After the selected amount of water is
dispensed, the brew light will remain on until all liquid has drained. At that time the the BREW EXPRESS™ will beep
five times.

To automatically start a brew cycle set the automatic brew clock. Hold down the program button and press the
minute / hour buttons until the desired time (am or pm) is displayed. Slide switch to the auto position. Place carafe
or mug into the BREW EXPRESS™ under brew basket. The brew cycle will start automatically at the preset time.

stop the flow of water and the valve on the brew basket will prevent existing water from spilling. Once carafe is re-
turned operation will continue. If carafe is missing for over 5 minutes BREW EXPRESS™ will shut off automatically.
