paper filter or permanent filter. Be sure
that the 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 scoop of
ground coffee per cup. Adjust the
amount according to taste.
NOTE: The maximum capacity for
ground coffee is 15 scoops
(15 tablespoons) for this coffeemaker.
Exceeding this amount may cause over-
flow if the coffee is too finely ground.
Replace the filter basket in the filter bas-
ket holder and press firmly on cover to
be sure it closes securely.

Before brewing coffee

top cover is closed. Plug the cord

cator will light.

After brewing
When the brewing cycle has been
completed, five beeps will sound. Coffee
will continue to stream from the filter for
several seconds.
Once the coffee has finished brewing,
stir it before serving to blend the flavors.
The coffee at the bottom of the carafe
will be somewhat stronger than the
coffee at the top.
Note: Reservoir cover may be hot during
and directly after brewing. Wait at least
10 minutes before opening.

Brew Pause
™
Feature
This feature interrupts the flow of coffee from
the basket to let you pour that first cup mid-
brew. Because the flavor profile of coffee
brewed at the start of a cycle differs from that
brewed toward the end, be aware that using
this feature will weaken the flavor strength of
the finished pot.
NOTE: Removing carafe for more than 20
seconds may cause filter basket to overflow.
