SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
SAFETY FEATURES
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from
entanglement or tripping over a longer cord.
2. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use.
3. If extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be
arranged so that it does not drape over the counter or table-top where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over accidentally. The electrical rating of the coffee maker is listed
on the bottom panel of the unit.
4. This appliance has a polarized alternating current plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, as a safety feature, this plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not insert fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
FEATURES
• Pause & Serve (auto drip stop)
Allows you to interrupt the brewing cycle and pour a cup of coffee before the entire
glass carafe is finished brewing. To restart the brewing process, return the glass
carafe to the warming plate and the coffee will automatically begin flowing through
the filter basket. Make sure the glass carafe is placed securely on the warming
plate.
CAUTION: DO NOT REMOVE THE GLASS CARAFE FOR LONGER THEN 30
SECONDS OR THE FILTER BASKET MAY OVERFLOW.

Caution: Do not immerse the heating stand in water or other liquids. To remove
any dust that may have accumulated on the removable parts during packaging,
wash the carafe, lid and filter basket with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Do not
use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
Note: We recommend that prior to brewing your first pot of Gevalia coffee; you
brew cold water only, without ground coffee or a paper filter. This will remove any
dust that may have settled inside the coffee maker.
Important: Use only cold filtered or bottled water for best results. The automatic
brewing system has been designed to work only with cold water.

PREPARING COFFEE MAKER FOR BREWING COFFEE
1. Place your drip coffee maker on a flat, level surface such as a countertop. Plug the
coffee maker into a 120 volt 60 Hz AC only outlet.
2. Pull the swing-out filter door outward to your left. Lift out the removable filter basket
located in the door. Insert a No. 4 Gevalia cone-shaped paper filter into the filter basket.
Place the desired amount of ground coffee into the paper filter.
• Brew Gevalia Kaffe with the coffee water ratio you normally use when you
prepare ground coffee. If you prefer strong coffee, we recommend the following
6

European method, which produces rich, full-bodied flavor. Use one level Gevalia
scoop for each cup (6 fluid ounces) or 12 level scoops per full pot of coffee.
(Experiment with the amount of coffee used to adjust the flavor to your taste.)
3. Be sure that the filter basket has a #4 Gevalia filter and is filled with Gevalia ground coffee,
and is seated properly in the swing-out filter basket door prior to closing the filter basket door.
Be sure to close the filter basket door completely and that the door snaps into place.
CAUTION: If the filter basket door is not completely closed, the Pause & Serve (auto
drip stop) feature will not function properly. It could cause hot water or hot coffee to
overflow.
FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR
Open the hinged water reservoir cover located at the top of the coffee maker. Fill the glass
carafe with the desired amount of cold water (preferably filtered or bottled cold water). Do not
to exceed the 12 cup mark on the glass carafe. Empty the water from the glass carafe into the
water reservoir. The water level window indicates how much water is in reservoir. Close the
hinged reservoir lid. Place the glass carafe securely on the warming plate.
The glass carafe lid needs to be on the carafe and the carafe needs to be firmly secured
against the back of the warming plate when brewing otherwise, the auto pause drip stop will
not open and the unit will overflow.
DO NOT OVERFILL THE WATER RESERVOIR WITH MORE THAN 12
CUPS OF WATER. IN THE EVENT THAT THE WATER RESERVOIR IS
ACCIDENTALLY OVERFILLED THEN THE EXCESS WATER WILL FLOW
OUT OF THE BACK OF THE UNIT FROM THE OVERFLOW HOLE. THIS
OVERFLOW HOLE IS A SAFETY FEATURE
NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee after the brewing process will always be slightly
less than the amount of water placed into the automatic coffee maker, since some
water is absorbed by the coffee grounds..

HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE
• A clean coffee maker is essential for making great testing coffee. Regular cleaning of
your coffee maker is highly recommended.
• Always use fresh, cold filtered or bottled water in your coffee maker.
• Fine grind (such as Gevalia) 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 or freezer to maintain freshness.
• Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after
brewing.
• Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will lessen coffee flavor.
• Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed black coffee is due to the extraction of oil
8

from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffee is
used. Over extraction may also cause many oil deposits, indicating a need to clean
your coffee maker.
CLEANING YOUR COFFEE MAKER
• CAUTION: Always make sure coffee maker is unplugged before attempting to clean. 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.
• IMPORTANT: Never immerse the coffee maker in water or other liquid.
• When cleaning the carafe, to prevent the glass from breaking. DO NOT put your hands inside the
glass chamber or insert anything into the glass chamber for the glass is fragile and may break.
Clean your glass carafe by rinsing it with warm soapy water.
• The 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 in the dishwasher.
• Rinse thoroughly the removable filter holder after every use to insure trouble-free operation.
• 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 cleaners.
• 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 slow down of the coffee maker’s
brewing time. The slow down can be eliminated by periodically decalcifying the coffee maker.
• To decalcify, fill the carafe with cold water and two tablespoons of white vinegar. Pour the solution
into the water reservoir, and then close the lid. Place the glass carafe on the warming 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 glass carafe and rinse it
out with cold water. Refill the water reservoir with cold water only and run another new cycle to
remove any remaining vinegar solution. Repeat if necessary.
