PREPARING YOUR COFFEE MAKER FOR USE
Pre-Use Cleaning
Wash the brew basket, Gold Tone
permanent filter, and carafe in hot, soapy
water, then rinse with clean water and dry.
Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring
pads.
Installing the Water Filter
Use of the water filter is strongly
recommended. The filter reduces
contaminants which impair the coffee flavor.
Use of the filter is optional. The coffee
maker will operate normally without it.
The water filter is for use only with
municipally treated tap water or well water
that is regularly tested for contaminants.
1. The filter consists of a long handle with a
filter cartridge at the end.
2. Place the filter cartridge in a separate
container filled with fresh, cool water.
The cartridge should remain submerged
in the water for 10 minutes. Rinse the
filter under running water for 5 seconds
after soaking.
3. Lift the water tank lid using the tab on
the rear of the lid.
4. Place the filter cartridge in the well at the
bottom of the water reservoir. Push the
cartridge slightly to make sure it fits
snugly.
5. Every time you install a new filter, run the
coffee maker through a complete
brewing cycle without coffee. Use a full
carafe of clean, cool water.
