Notes on the Self Clean Function
Pressing the Self Clean button cancels all
other settings. If it is pressed accidentally,
press it again to return the coffeemaker to all
its previous settings. Pressing ON/OFF will
also exit the Self Clean Mode and turn the
coffeemaker OFF.
6. 1-4 Cup Setting:
The 1-4 cup setting button is used when
you make small amounts of coffee. Normal
coffeemakers will produce a colder batch of
coffee when smaller amounts are made,
because the heater doesn't have enough time
to properly ‘warm up’ to heat a small amount.
The 1-4 setting basically ‘double heats’ the
water, making your smaller amount as piping
hot as a full pot would be.
To use: When making a smaller amount, press
the 1-4 button on the control panel after
turning on the unit.
7. Heater Plate ‘Keep Warm’ Control:
The knob on the right of the control panel
is the heater plate control setting for after
brewing temperature. You can choose one of
three heat settings to keep your coffee warm:
low, medium, or high.
