PREPARING FOR USE
Selecting and Measuring Ground Coee
For best results, use a level tablespoon for ground coee measurement. Make sure you use
medium grind coee for a perfect brew.
Suggested Coee Measuring Chart
To Brew Ground Coee
12 Cups 12 tbsp.
10 Cups 10 tbsp.
8 Cups 8 tbsp.
6 Cups 6 tbsp.
4 Cups 4 tbsp.
2 Cups 2 tbsp.
1 level tablespoon (tbsp) - 5 gr./0.17 oc/ 15ml
1 cup = 5 . oz. of brewed coee
Use more or less coee to suit your taste
Adding Water and Ground Coee
1 Lift and open the lter basket lid. For your convenience,
you can lift out the removable lter basket.
2 Place a 10–12 cup paper cone-style lter or a permanent
lter into the removable lter basket. (Figure 2)
NOTE: If using paper lters, it is important that the sides of
the lter t ush against the side of the lter basket. If lter
collapse occurs, dampen the lter before placing in the lter
basket and adding ground coee and water.
3 Add the desired amount of coee and gently shake to
level the coee. See the Suggested Coee Measurement Chart.
4 Be sure the lter is properly centered and all the way down in the lter basket.
5 Fill the decanter with cold, fresh water to the desired capacity
(1 cup equals 5 ounces). For easy and accurate lling, the water markings on the
glass decanter show the amount of water needed to make the corresponding
desired number of cups. The amount of coee brewed will always be slightly less
than the amount of water poured in the water reservoir. This is due to the minimum
absorption of water by the coee grounds as well as steam.
6 Pour the water into the water reservoir. Do not ll past the “MAX line” or water will
ow out of the overll hole in the back of the water reservoir. Close the lid and place
the empty decanter onto the warming plate.
NOTE: Make sure the decanter is fully placed on the warming plate or the water and the
grounds will overow from the lter basket. An overow may cause personal injury or
damage to property.
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of damaging the decanter and/or the risk of personal injury,
do not add cold water to the decanter if the decanter is already hot. Allow the decanter to
cool before using.
BREWING COFFEE NOW
1 After completing the steps in the “Adding Water and Coee” section and with the
decanter and the lter basket securely in place.

Press the AUTO/ON/OFF Button to begin the brewing
cycle. The red indicator light will turn on to signal
that the coeemaker is brewing. When the brewing
cycle is complete, the coeemaker switches over to
the warming mode. Your coeemaker will keep your
coee hot for 2 hours, then automatically shut o.
While the coee is brewing, the Pause ’n Serve feature
allows you to sneak a cup of coee from the decanter.
