BREWING COFFEE
Follow instructions in Before First Use
on previous page.
1. Insert charcoal water filter
Follow directions for the preparation and
insertion of the filter in previous section.
2. Fill the water reservoir
Open the coffeemaker reservoir cover by
lifting it up. Pour in the desired amount of
water using the water level indicator located
at the side of the coffeemaker.
3. Cup preference
Push the 1–4 cup button if you are brewing
fewer than 5 cups.
4. Add the ground coffee
Remove the filter basket by grasping the
handle and lifting straight up. Insert a #4
paper filter OR permanent filter. Be sure that
a paper filter is completely open and fully
inserted in the basket. It may help to fold and
flatten the seams of a paper filter beforehand.
Add 1 level scoop (1 tablespoon) of ground
coffee per cup. Adjust the amount according
to taste.
NOTE: The maximum capacity for
ground coffee is 15 scoops (15 table-
spoons) for this coffeemaker. Exceeding
this amount may cause overflow if the
coffee is too finely ground.
Replace the filter basket in the filter basket
holder and press firmly on cover to be sure it
closes securely.
5. Before brewing coffee
Make sure the glass carafe is in position on
the heating plate and the top cover is closed.
Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.
CHARCOAL WATER FILTER
