Preparing Your Coffee Maker
Before using the coffee maker for the first
time:
1. Carefully unpack the coffee maker and
remove all packaging materials.
2. Thoroughly clean the carafe, carafe lid,
and filter basket with warm, soapy
water. Rinse well and dry.
CAUTION
: Do not use harsh or abrasive
cleaners as this could damage the glass
carafe.
3. Wipe the warming plate with a clean
damp cloth.
WARNING
: DO NOT immerse the coffee
maker in water or other liquids.
4. Before brewing your first pot of coffee,
run a full carafe of cold water through
the system 2 or 3 times, without a filter
or coffee grounds. This will remove any
dust or sediment that may have settled
in the components during the shipping
process.
Using the Coffee Maker
Select a level, flat surface to place the
coffee maker, preferably near an outlet.
1. Replace the lid after cleaning and
ensure that it is secured to the carafe.
2. Replace the filter basket into the filter
basket compartment.
3. Lift up the hinged water reservoir cover.
4. Fill the glass carafe with as much water
as is needed for the amount of
servings.
5. Empty the water from the carafe into
the illuminated water reservoir. The
water window indicates how much
water is in the reservoir. (Fig. 2)
6. Close the water reservoir cover.
7. Place the glass carafe with the lid in
place onto the warming plate.
CAUTION
: The small opening at the rear
of the illuminated water reservoir prevents
accidental overflow of coffee into the filter
and or carafe. Do not
overfill the
illuminated water reservoir.
Putting in the Coffee
1. Press the filter basket door release
button and insert a #4 cone shaped
paper filter into the filter basket.
2. Fill the filter with the required amount of
coffee depending on amount. (Fig. 3)

Tip: When you use a paper filter, it is
important that the filter fit flush against the
sides of the filter basket. If the filter
collapses, for best results, dampen the
filter before placing it in the filter basket
and adding the ground coffee.
3. For best results use coffee that is
ground for use with automatic drip
coffeemakers. (See chart below for
suggested amounts)
