brew drip from the filter basket into the carafe has stopped. Carafe lid
should be kept in place to facilitate safe serving and help keep coffee
at proper serving temperature.

The warming plate will automatically cycle to maintain ideal serving
temperature as long as the coffeemaker is on.

11. To brew another carafe of coffee, turn unit “OFF” and wait 10 minutes
to allow heating element to cool. Important: If unit is not allowed to
cool before immediate repeated use, water placed in water chamber
may become overheated and a spray of steam could be released from
opening, creating a risk of burns.
BREWING A SECOND POT OF COFFEE
As mentioned above, it is recommended that the coffeemaker should be in
“OFF” position for 10 minutes between cycles, in order to allow unit to cool.
While unit is in “OFF” position, dispose of used coffee filter, and rinse carafe
and filter basket in water. Place a fresh filter in basket. Repeat brewing pro-
cedure.
HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE
A clean coffeemaker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regular
cleaning, as specified in “CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR COF-
FEEMAKER” is highly recommended.
Always use fresh, cold water in your coffeemaker.
Finer grinds, such as drip and ADC coffee, promote fuller extraction and
provide rich, full-bodied coffee. Regular grind will require slightly more cof-
fee per cup to provide the strength of a finer grind.
Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep it
tightly sealed in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
For optimum flavor, buy whole beans and grind them just before brewing.
Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair coffee flavor.
Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor imme-
diately after brewing.
Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed coffee is due to the extraction
of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heav-
ily roasted coffees are used.Over-extraction may also cause oiliness, indi-
cating a need to clean your coffeemaker.
