8 cups 7 level tbls.
6 cups 6 level tbls.
4 cups 5 level tbls.
2 cups 3 level tbls.
‘Use more or less coffee to suit your taste.
2 level tablesooons = 1 coffee SCOOP.

on the side of the decanter, 1 cup = 5 ounces. To brew 10
cups, fill the decanter to the bottom of the metal band.
5. Lift the dust cover and pour the water through the intake
screen. Place the empty decanter with lid on the warmer plate.
6. Depress the SELECT button twice to set the coffeemaker to
“Brewer On”. The
“Brewer 0n”light will glow to signal that
the coffeemaker is brewing. Be sure to put the water in the
coffeemaker first, before selecting “Brewer On”. To prevent
damage, the machine will shut off if you have selected “Brewer
On” and there is no water in the machine.

goes off and the “Warmer On” light is on.

setting is too high, The Expert may

and slide it back into position.
9. To make another pot of coffee, turn the coffeemaker off by
depressing the SELECT button until all operating lights are

Simply depress the SELECT button until all operating lights
are off.
The Warmer Plate Temperature Dial
The warmer temperature dial on this coffeemaker was preset at
the factory to keep your coffee at approximately 185 degrees. On
most machines, the red dot on the dial will point to the 1 o’clock
position. This temperature is hot enough for most people, and
will preserve good flavor.
FOR HOTTER COFFEE, simply turn the dial clockwise, but use
caution. Higher temperatures cause more rapid flavor breakdown,
and risk scalding. If the temperature setting is high enough to
cause a burnt flavor, the coffeemaker will automatically shut off,
prematurely.
CAUTION: YOUR MACHINE MAY SHUT OFF PREMATURELY if
there Is less than two cups of coffee left and the warmer temperature
setting Is too high for the amount of coffee left. Simply turn the
temperature down and turn your coffeemaker back on to “Warmer
On”.
FOR COOLER COFFEE, and even better flavor retention, simply
turn the dial counter-clockwise.
Note: The Expert may not always shut off when the decanter Is
removed from the warmer plate If the warmer temperature settlng
is too low. If this situation occurs, simply turn the temperature
up slightly by rotating the dial clockwise.
Intelligent Automatic Shut-Off
The Expert features the most advanced automatic shut off found
on any household
coffeemaker. By sensing temperature as well
as time, The Expert will automatically shut off when:
1. the decanter is empty,
2. the decanter is removed from the warmer plate for more than
20 minutes,
3. there is less than two cups of coffee in the decanter and the
warmer temperature setting is too high for the amount of coffee
left. See “CAUTION”, above.
