OPERATING YOUR COFFEE MAKER
-7-
FIGURE 3
PREPARING COFFEE MAKER FOR BREWING COFFEE:
1. Place the coffee maker on a flat, level surface away from
any edge.
2. Plug the unit into a 120V / 60Hz only outlet.
3. The lid of the carafe must be fitted properly during the
brewing process. And the carafe must be set on the
warming plate.
FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR: Figure 3
4. Open the hinged water reservoir cover located at
the top of the coffee maker.
5. Fill the carafe with cold water corresponding to the
desired cups of coffee you will be brewing. Cup
markings are indicated on the handle of the carafe.
6. Empty the water from the carafe into the water
reservoir, located behind the filter basket holder. NOTE:
The automatic brewing system has been designed to
work with cold water only.
NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee after the brewing process is complete will
always be slightly less than the amount of water placed in the coffee maker’s water
reservoir, since some water is absorbed by the coffee grounds and filter. Add a
little extra water at the beginning so that you have the exact number of cups
desired.
PREPARING THE COFFEE:
7. The included permanent filter may be used instead of a paper filter. If using
paper filters, insert a #4 cone-shaped filter into the filter basket before filling
with coffee grounds. Place the filter (permanent or paper) into the removable
filter basket. Place the desired amount of coffee grounds into the filter. NOTE:
We recommend using coffee grounds specifically for automatic drip coffee
makers. We suggest one tablespoon of ground coffee for each cup of coffee
being brewed. After using your drip coffee maker a few times you may adjust
the amount to suit your own taste.
8. Return the filter basket with the coffee-filled filter to the filter basket holder. Be
sure that the filter basket is seated properly in the filter basket holder.
9. Close the hinged water reservoir cover. Place the carafe with the lid in place
on the warming plate.
