FEATURES
zPause & Serve: Allows you to interrupt the brewing cycle and pour a cup of
coffee before the entire brewing cycle is completed.
CAUTION:
While this will temporarily stop the coffee from dripping into the glass
carafe, it does not stop the brewing cycle. After serving, the glass carafe
should be immediately returned to the Warming Plate to prevent the Filter
Basket from overflowing. Do not remove the carafe for more than 30
seconds as the Filter Basket may overflow.
CAUTION:
If the carafe is not fully seated on the Warming Plate then the Pause &
Serve feature will not function properly. It could cause hot water or hot
coffee to overflow.
When the carafe is securely in place, it engages a small lever at the back of
the Coffeemaker which allows the Pause & Serve feature to function. For
this reason, please make sure that the glass carafe is securely in place and
positioned firmly against the back of the Coffeemaker. (See Figure B)
z2 Hour Automatic Shut-Off: For safety, this Coffeemaker has been designed
with an auto shut-off feature. In both regular and auto-start modes, the
Coffeemaker shuts off automatically 2 hours after the brewing cycle is completed.
To restart, simply press the START/STOP Button until the “ON” light illuminates.
zON Light:The “ON” light lets you know when the Coffeemaker is turned on and
ready for safe operation (will be illuminated green).
zCord Storage:Hidden cord storage allows you to hide excess cord for a neat
appearance.
zFlip Top Open Filter Basket Holder: Allows easy access to the removable
Filter Basket.
7
zRemovable Cone Shape Filter Basket:Cone shape Filter Basket enriches
flavor. We recommend using a Gevalia No. 4 cone shape paper filter.
zShower Head Spout:This allows the hot water to be evenly dispersed across
the cone shaped filter thereby allowing the maximum coverage.
zProgrammable Clock: Allows you to program your Coffeemaker 24 hours in
advance with a built in digital timer/clock.
zHeat Resistant Glass Carafe:The glass carafe is made of heat resistant glass
to allow the coffee to stay hot for a prolonged period of time.

HOW TO USE YOUR COFFEEMAKER
PREPARING YOUR COFFEEMAKER FOR USE:
zCarefully unpack the Coffeemaker and remove all packing materials.
zBefore making coffee in your Coffeemaker, thoroughly clean your glass carafe,
carafe lid and Filter Basket with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry. Do not use
harsh or abrasive cleaners.
zYou may wipe the Warming Plate with a clean damp cloth, however, do not
immerse the Coffeemaker in water or other liquid.
Note: Prior to brewing your first pot of Gevalia coffee, we recommend that you run one
brew cycle through the Coffeemaker using cold water only, without ground coffee or a paper
filter. This will remove any dust that may have settled inside the Coffeemaker.
IMPORTANT: Use only cold filtered or bottled water for best results.
FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR:
Open the hinged Water Reservoir Lid that is located on the top backside of the
Coffeemaker. Remove the Water Reservoir from the backside of the Coffeemaker and fill
the Reservoir with the desired amount of cold filtered or cold bottled water. Refer to the
water level markers on the sides of the Reservoir to let you know how much water is in the
container. Return the Water Reservoir to its position at the back of the Coffeemaker, making
sure the groove in the Water Reservoir slides snugly over the back of the plastic guide at
the back of the Coffeemaker. (See Figure D)
NOTE:
zThere is a drip hole in the back of the Water Reservoir to prevent exceeding the
capacity of the Coffeemaker. If you add too much water, it will leak out from the
back of the unit.
9
zThe amount of brewed coffee after the brewing process will always be slightly
less than the amount of water placed into the Coffeemaker, since some water
will be absorbed by the coffee grounds.
zThe Water Reservoir is removable for your convenience. To remove, open the
Water Reservoir Lid and lift straight up on the Reservoir until it is fully removed.
When replacing the Reservoir, make sure to line up the guides on the back of
the Reservoir with the guides on the back of the unit. After lining up the
guides, slide the Reservoir down into the unit. (See Figure D)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Place your drip Coffeemaker on a flat, level surface such as a countertop. Plug the
Coffeemaker into a 120 volt 60 Hz AC outlet.
2. Fill the Water Reservoir. Flip open the Filter Basket Lid and 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 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 in order to adjust the flavor to your taste.)
3. Be sure that the Filter Basket is seated properly in the Filter Basket Holder, by placing
it securely into place. Make sure the flip top lid is completely closed on the top of the
Filter Basket Holder. Ensure there is water in the Water Reservoir.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate your Coffeemaker if the lid on the top of the unit is not
securely closed.
4. To brew coffee immediately, push the “START/STOP” button twice. The green “ON”
light will illuminate and after a few moments the coffee will start to brew. NOTE: If
you have just plugged in the Coffeemaker, you may need to push the button three
times to illuminate the green “ON” light and start the brewing process.
5. To set the Coffeemaker to start brewing at a certain time, hold down the “PROGRAM”
button. While holding down the “PROGRAM” button, push the “MIN” and “HOUR”
buttons to set the timer. Release the “PROGRAM” button. Once the timer is set to
the correct time, you must set the unit to auto. To do this, push the “START/STOP”
button once until the red “AUTO” light illuminates. NOTE: If you have just plugged in
the Coffeemaker, you may need to push the button twice to illuminate the red “AUTO”
light. Now the unit is set to brew at the desired time.

12
6. When the unit is brewing, the green “ON” light will illuminate. After the brewing cycle
is complete, the Warming Plate will remain on for 2 hours and then automatically shut
off.
7. To manually shut off the Coffeemaker, push the START/STOP button once. The
green light will turn off, indicating the unit is off.
CAUTION:
After the brewing cycle is completed, there still will be HOT liquid in the Filter Basket. Wait several
minutes for the liquid to drain before removing the Filter Basket.
HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE:
zA clean Coffeemaker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regular cleaning,
as specified in “Cleaning your Coffeemaker”, is highly recommended.
zAlways use fresh, cold filtered or bottled water in your Coffeemaker.
zFine 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.
zStore coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep it tightly sealed
in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness.
zFor optimum coffee flavor, buy whole beans and grind them just before brewing.
zDo not re-use coffee grounds since this will lessen the coffee flavor.
zReheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after
brewing.
zSmall oil droplets on the surface of the brewed coffee is due to the extraction of oil
from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffee
is used.
Overuse may also cause many oil deposits, indicating a need to clean your Coffeemaker
more frequently.
13
CLEANING YOUR COFFEEMAKER:
zCAUTION: Always make sure Coffeemaker is unplugged before attempting to
clean it. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plug or unit in
water or other liquid.
zThe outside of your Coffeemaker can be cleaned by wiping the surface with a damp,
soft cloth.
zIMPORTANT: Never immerse the Coffeemaker in water or other liquid.
zWhen cleaning the carafe, DO NOT put your hands inside the glass carafe 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.
zThe glass 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
Coffeemaker in the dishwasher.
zRinse the removable Filter Basket thoroughly after every use to insure trouble-free
operation.
zDo not clean the inside of the Water Reservoir with a cloth as the cloth may leave a
lint residue that could clog the Coffeemaker.
zFor stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleaner. Do not
use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.
zCalcium deposits may build up in the Coffeemaker as a result of minerals commonly
found in drinking water. The build-up is normal and may result in longer brewing times.
This slow down can be eliminated by periodically decalcifying the Coffeemaker.
zTo 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
securely on the Warming Plate and allow the Coffeemaker to brew the vinegar
solution. Once it 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 residue.
