How to Brew Coffee
•Place your coffee maker on a flat, level surface away from any
edge.
•Plug the unit into a 120 volt 60 Hz AC-only outlet.
•The lid of the carafe must be fitted properly during the brewing
process and the carafe must be set squarely on the carafe plate.
•The filter basket holder must be completely closed during the
brewing process. You should hear and feel it snap into place.
CAUTION: If the filter basket holder is not completely
closed, the Pause & Serve Activator will not function
properly. It could cause hot water or hot coffee to overflow.
Adding water
•Open the hinged water reservoir cover located at the top of the
coffee maker. Fill the carafe with the desired amount of cold
water. Empty the water from the carafe into the water reservoir.
The water window indicates how much water is in the container.
Close the hinged lid. Place the carafe with the lid in place on the
carafe plate.
Note: The amount of brewed coffee after the brewing process
is complete will always be slightly less than the amount of
water placed into the coffee maker, since some water is
absorbed by the coffee grounds and filter. Add a little extra
water at the beginning so that you have the exact number of
cups desired.
Putting in the coffee
•Swing the filter basket holder outward to your left. The removable
filter basket should be in place inside the basket holder. Insert
either a #4 cone-shaped paper filter or the included washable
permanent filter into the filter basket before filling with coffee.
•Place the desired amount of ground coffee into the filter. (See
Coffee Measurements chart on page 9.) After using your coffee
maker several times, the amount of coffee may be adjusted to suit
8

your particular taste by decreasing or increasing the amount of
coffee used.
NOTE: Be sure to use coffee grounds prepared specifically
for automatic drip coffee makers. DO NOT USE VERY FINE
GRINDS, AS FOR ESPRESSO.
•Seat the filter basket properly in the basket holder. Swing the
holder closed and snap it into place.
CAUTION: Do not operate your coffee maker if the basket
holder does not close completely. If this happens, check to
see that the filter basket is properly seated, then snap basket
holder into place.
•Press the Power Select Button twice. The “On” Light will go on,
indicating that the coffee maker has begun the brewing cycle.
•In a few minutes the coffee maker will complete the brewing cycle
and then shut off. The thermal carafe will keep the coffee hot for
up to 4 hours.
•After the brewing cycle, empty the grounds and filter, and rinse
basket thoroughly with water.

Tips for Great Tasting Coffee
•A clean coffee maker is essential for making great tasting coffee.
Regular cleaning, as specified below in “Cleaning Your Coffee
Maker”, is highly recommended.
•Always use fresh, cold water in your coffee maker.
•Fine grind coffee promotes fuller extraction and provides rich,
full-tasting coffee. Regular grind will require slightly more coffee
grounds per cup to provide the strength of a finer grind.
•Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened,
keep it tightly sealed in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
•For optimum coffee, buy whole beans and grind them just before
brewing.
•Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will lessen coffee flavor.
•Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor
immediately after brewing.
•Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed black coffee are due
to the extraction of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may
occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffees are used. Over-
extraction may also cause oiliness, indicating a need to clean
your coffee maker.
10

Cleaning Your Coffee Maker
CAUTION: Always make sure coffee maker is unplugged
before attempting to clean it. To protect against electric shock,
do not immerse cord, plug or unit in water or other liquid.
•The outside of your coffee maker can be cleaned by wiping the
surface with a damp, soft cloth.
CAUTION: Never immerse the coffee maker in water or other
liquid.
•Clean inside of carafe with a soft cloth and mild detergent
solution. Do not use harsh abrasives or scouring pads on carafe.
•Carafe lid and removable filter basket may be washed with warm,
soapy water or placed in the top rack of the dishwasher. Do not
place any other parts of the coffee maker (including the
permanent filter) in the dishwasher.
•Do not clean the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth as the
cloth may have a lint residue that could clog the coffee maker.
•For stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a
non-abrasive cleaner. Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive
cleansers.
•Calcium deposits may build up in the coffee maker as a result of
minerals commonly found in drinking water. The build-up is
normal and may result in a slowdown of the brewing time. The
slowdown can be eliminated by periodically decalcifying the
coffee maker.
•To decalcify, fill the carafe with cold water and 1/4 cup of white
vinegar. Pour the solution into the water reservoir, then close the
lid. Place the carafe on the carafe plate and allow the coffee
maker to brew the vinegar solution. While decalcifying, do not use
a filter in the filter basket. When the vinegar solution has finished
brewing, empty the carafe and rinse it out with cold water. Refill
the water reservoir with cold water only and run another brew
cycle to remove any remaining vinegar solution. Repeat if
necessary.
