COFFEE MAKER USE
Brewing Coffee
NOTE: Brew one pot of fresh, cool water
and discard before brewing the first pot of
coffee (first time use only).
1. Remove the water tank and fill with
enough fresh, cool water to make the
desired amount of coffee. A graduated
scale on the tank measures the amount
of water needed. When replacing the
tank, make sure to align it with the
tab(s).
NOTE: The tank can be filled using the
carafe without removing the tank from
the coffee maker.
For glass carafe models only, the right
side of the scale (“coffee”) is a
measurement of coffee volume. The left
side of the scale (“water”) is based upon
4³⁄₄ oz (140 mL) cups.
After filling the water tank, place the
carafe in the coffee maker.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the lid is
securely in position and the bottom of
the carafe is fully seated. If the carafe is
not seated, the Pause and Pour feature
may not engage and may cause water
and coffee to overflow the brew basket.
To maximize coffee temperature, it is
recommend that you fill and empty the
carafe with hot water to preheat the
carafe.
For thermal carafes only, it is
recommended that the lid be positioned
in the “Pour” or “Lock” position while
brewing. The “Lock” position will reduce
heat loss from the carafe. Position in the
“Unlock” position to remove the lid.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to empty the
carafe before brewing coffee.
2. Open the brew basket door and remove
the brew basket from the front of the
coffee maker.
3. Insert a 12-14 cup flat bottom paper
filter or the Gold Tone permanent filter
into the brew basket.
IMPORTANT: Do not use both types of
filters at the same time. Using both
filters might cause water and coffee to
overflow the brew basket.
