along with the water level, sound, and filter icons.

To switch the coffee maker on or off, turn
the auto-on/off switch momentarily to the "On/Off"
position. To activate or deactivate the automatic brew
timer, turn the switch momentarily to the 'Auto"

Water Filter Icon
Icon appears on the brew timer display when the
water filter needs to be replaced.
Sound Level Icon
Icon is displayed when message tones are enabled.
Message Tones
Convenient message tones instantly communicate coffee maker
status. The coffee maker will beep three times when a brewing
cycle is complete. If the coffee maker is turned on or the brew
timer is activated without sufficient water in the reservoir, the
coffee maker will beep once; it will also beep once when the
reservoir is near full during filling. Message tone volume can be
set high or low, or turned off for silent operation.
Automatic Shutoff
Coffee maker shuts off two hours after the last carafe is brewed.
Stainless Steel Heat Pump
The 1350 watt heat pump brews quickly, providing exceptionally
smooth and flavorful coffee. The commercial stainless steel
construction minimizes calcium build-up for maximum durability.
Advanced Ion-Exchange Water Filter
Replaceable filter reduces chlorine and other
contaminants which impair coffee flavor. Filter
also softens the water, which extends the time
between descalings.
Quiet Finish TM Brewing
The advanced brew system design reduces noisy hissing and
gurgling throughout the brewing cycle.
Optional Gold Tone Permanent Filter
Thegold tone filter eliminatesthe need for paper coffee filters. The
fine, gold tone metal screendeliversexceptional brewing performance.

Pre-Use Cleaning
Wash the filter basket, basket insert, carafes, and carafe lids in
hot, soapy water, then rinse with clean water and dry. Do not use
abrasive cleansers or scouring pads. These parts may also be
washed in the top rack of the dishwasher.
Installing the Water Filter
Since most tap water ischlorinated and contains some level of
calcium, the use of a PROLINE" SeriesWater Filter is
recommended. The advanced ion-exchange water filter reduces
chlorine and other contaminants which impair coffee flavor. The filter
also softens the water, which extends the time between descalings.
The PROLINE SeriesWater Filter will filter approximately 25
gallons of water (60 full carafes). When a filter has reached
the end of its life, the water filter icon will appear on the
brew timer display.
Use of the water filter is optional: the coffee maker will operate
normally without it. If a water filter is not used, the filter icon will
still appear on the brew timer display as a reminder to descale the
coffee maker. To reset the icon after it appears, see page 23.
The water filter is for use only with municipally treated tap water
or well water that is regularly tested for contaminants.
To Install the Filter:
I Remove the cartridge from its packaging.
£Placethe filter cartridge in a separate container filled with
fresh, cool water; the cartridge should remain submerged in
the water for 10 minutes.
Remove the water filter accesscover from the coffee maker.

carafe of clean, cool water.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.

restored after an interruption, the brew timer display
automatically enters the clock-setting mode. The hour digits on
the display will flash until a time is set.

Before brewing coffee for the first time, run the coffee maker
through a complete brewing cycle without coffee. Use a full
carafe of clean, cool waten This rinses the water reservoir, heat
pump, and showerhead. This first brew cycle will yield slightly less
water than the amount added, since the brew system retains a
small amount of waten
NOTE: Use at least 4 cups (17 oz.) of water to brew coffee.
The coffee maker will not operate with less.
_<Removethe water guide cover and pour the water into the guide.
Fill a carafe with enough fresh, cool water to make the desired
amount of coffee. A graduated scale on the side of the carafe
helps measure the amount of water required. The right side
of the scale ("coffee") isan accurate measurement of carafe
volume in 4K ounce cups. The left side of the scale ("water")
indicates the amount of water needed to produce a given
number of cups. (Brewing always produces lesscoffee than the
volume of water added, since coffee grounds retain waten)
L_J _ The water level icons on the brew timer
display will indicate whether the water reservoir is low, medium,
or near full.

Make certain the plastic brew basket insert is placed in the brew
basket. Insert a 10-12 cup flat-bottom paper filter or the optional
gold tone permanent filter into the brew basket. Using the
included scoop, fill the filter with one rounded scoop of ground
coffee for each cup desired. Add more coffee for a stronger
brew, lessfor a weaker brew. Use a medium grind appropriate
for automatic drip coffee makers: too fine a grind will produce
bitterness and may causewater to overflow the brew basket.

The warming plates can hold coffee at a choice of two serving
temperatures. Turn the Temperature Switch clockwise to the "Low"
position to preservethe flavor of coffee served at a leisurely pace.
Turn the Temperature Switch counter-clockwise to the "High"
