10. Press the ON-OFF button (located on the side). It will illuminate indicating that
the coffee maker is “on” and that the brewing process has started. Coffee is
ready when “bubbling” sound and dripping have completely stopped. NOTE:
The unit will automatically switch off after 2 hours if not shut off manually. To
shut the unit off manually, press the ON-OFF button again.
11. NOTE: If you would like a cup of coffee before the full pot is brewed, the
Pause ‘N Serve feature allows you to interrupt the brewing process. The
brewing process does not stop during this period; only the flow of coffee from
the basket. Do not remove the carafe for longer than 30 seconds or the
coffee may overflow from the basket stops. While we offer this feature, we
do not recommend you pour the coffee before the cycle has reached
completion, since the coffee brewed at the beginning of the cycle has a flavor
which is very different from the flavor at the end of the cycle. Removing a cup
during the brewing cycle will alter the flavor of the finished pot.
12. To keep remaining coffee warm, return carafe to warming plate after serving.
13. Press the ON / OFF button to turn the unit “off” when the carafe is empty or
when the coffee maker is not in use. After the brewing cycle is complete,
discard the grounds and rinse the permanent filter and filter basket thoroughly
with water. (See “Cleaning Your Coffee Maker” section of this manual for more
details). If a paper filter was used, be sure to discard the paper filter
immediately after use. Always unplug the coffee maker from the electrical
outlet after every use.
14. NOTE: Never operate your coffee maker without the carafe lid in place on the
carafe. Doing so will cause your coffee maker to overflow.
