OPERATING THE CONTROL PANEL
BREWING COFFEE cont.
NOTE: To turn o the warming plate before two hours elapse, unplug the coeemaker. However,
the clock setting will be lost. The clock will require resetting, if desired, when the coeemaker is
plugged in again.
PAUSE AND POUR FEATURE
The pause and pour feature enables you to remove the carafe from the Coeemaker
and pour a cup of coee before brewing is nished. When the carafe is removed,
a special valve stops the ow of coee from the brew basket to the carafe. Brewing,
however, does not stop. IMPORTANT: If the carafe is not replaced under the brew
basket after 20 seconds, water and coee will overow from the brew basket.
The easy-to-use programmable digital controls let you
know when the coee is ready, and even keeps track of
the freshness of each brewed carafe. It’s never been
easier to brew the perfect cup of coee.
BREWING COFFEE
1. Plug the coeemaker into a 3-prong receptacle if it is
unplugged. When rst plugged in, clock numerals will
illuminate in the display window. To set the clock time,
see the SETTING THE CLOCK section.
NOTE: The clock does not have to be set to brew coee.
NOTE: If no coee is brewing, the display window goes
dark after 2 minutes. To relight screen, press any control
button except Start/Stop.
2. Open the tank cover (see Fig.4).
3. Use the carafe to ll the water tank of the coeemak-
er to the desired level with cold water, or you can
remove the tank from the base as shown in Fig. 3 (see
previous page) and ll it directly with cold water from a
faucet. There is a gauge marked from 4 to 12 cups on
both the coeemaker water tank and the sides of the
carafe (see Fig. 5). These marks show the amount of
cold water needed for the designated number of cups.
The amount of brewed coee will dier slightly due to
the coee grinds absorbing some water.
4. Open the top lter cover. Place either the permanent
gold-tone lter or a size #4 cone paper lter into the
brew basket (see Fig. 6).
5. Add ground coee. The amount of coee you use is a
matter of personal taste (we recommend one heaping
tablespoon for every two cups). Experiment with
dierent amounts of ground coee per cup until you
brew your perfect cup of coee.You can also try using a
paper lter along with the gold-tone lter.
6. Close the top lter cover and the water tank lid. Slide
the carafe onto the warming plate.
7. The default setting of the coee maker is regular strength. If desired, choose bold strength by
pressing the Bold button before the Start/Stop button. Press the Start/Stop button to begin
brewing. After a few seconds you will hear water owing into the lter. When all of the water has
passed through the lter and into the carafe as brewed coee, three beeps sound, Start/Stop
button words go out, and the coeemaker automatically switches to warming plate mode. For
delayed brewing, see SETTING THE CLOCK, TIMER AND AUTO-BREWING.
NOTE: A blue light illuminates beneath the water tank when coee is brewing. The light goes out
when the brew cycle is nished.
8. The warming plate will continue to warm for two hours from the time that the coee is brewed.
If all the coee has been poured from the carafe before two hours elapse, remove the carafe from
the warming plate. Do not allow an empty carafe to sit on the warming plate while the plate is
actively warm.
AUDIO SIGNALS
1. When the coeemaker is rst plugged in, one beep will sound.
2. When the coeemaker has nished brewing, three beeps will sound.

the glass carafe when empty.
