FILLING THE WATER TANK:
5. Remove the lid from the water tank.
6. Fill the tank with the desired amount of cold water. The water level must be
between the top and bottom cup marks. NOTE: Do not fill above the MAX level.
7. Always use cold water.
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
tank, 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:
8. Lift the lid on the filter holder. Be sure the filter basket and filter are properly
positioned inside the filter holder. The permanent gold-tone filter (included) may
be used instead of or in addition to a paper filter (not included). If using paper
filters, insert a #4 cone-shaped filter into the filter basket before filling with
coffee.
9. Place the desired amount of ground coffee in the filter using the measuring
spoon provided. According to coffee industry standards, use one standard
coffee measure (2 level tablespoons) of grounds for each cup/mug of water.
After using your coffee maker several times, the amount of coffee may be
adjusted to suit your particular taste by decreasing or increasing the amount of
coffee used. NOTE: Be sure to use coffee grounds prepared specifically for
use with automatic drip coffee makers.
PREPARING COFFEE MAKER FOR BREWING COFFEE:

3. The lid of the carafe must be fitted properly during the brewing process. And
the carafe must be set on the warming plate.
