6. Switch control to on. The on light will indicate unit is in operation.
7. Upon completion of the brew cycle, wait about one minute until the
brew drip from the filter basket into the carafe has stopped. Carafe lid
should be kept in place to facilitate safe serving and help keep coffee
at proper serving temperature.
8. To keep coffee hot, return carafe to the warming plate after serving.
The warming plate will automatically cycle to maintain ideal serving
temperature as long as the coffeemaker is on.
9. Switch control to off when carafe is empty or when unit is not in use.
10. To brew another carafe of coffee, turn unit off and wait 10 minutes to
allow heating element to cool. Important: If unit is not allowed to cool
before immediate repeated use, water placed in water chamber may
become overheated and a spray of steam could be released from
opening, creating a risk of burns.
BREWING A SECOND POT OF COFFEE
As mentioned above, it is recommended that the coffeemaker should be
in off position for 10 minutes between cycles, in order to allow unit to
cool. While unit is in off position, dispose of used coffee filter basket in
water. Place a fresh filter in basket. Repeat brewing procedure.
HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE
A clean coffeemaker is essential for making great tasting coffee.
Regular cleaning, as specified in “Care and Cleaning of your
coffeemaker”, is highly recommended.
Always use fresh, cold water in your coffeemaker.
Finer grinds, such as drip and ADC coffee, promote fuller extraction
and provide rich, full-bodied coffee. Regular grind will require slightly
more coffee per cup to provide the strength of a finer grind.
Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep
it tightly sealed in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
For optimum coffee, buy whole beans and grind them finely just
before brewing.
Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair coffee
flavor.
Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak
immediately after brewing.
Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed, black coffee is due to the
extraction of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more
frequently of heavily roasted coffees are used. Overextraction may
also cause oiliness, indicating a need to clean your coffeemaker.
