Permanent Filter Basket
Your Coffeemaker comes with a Permanent Filter Basket,
eliminating the need for disposable paper filters. After daily use,
the Removable Permanent Filter should be washed in hot,
sudsy water. Rinse thoroughly.
Brewing Instructions
1. Place the Thermal Coffeemaker on a flat, level surface.
2. Open the Filter Holder Lid using the lip located on top of the
Coffeemaker. (See Figure 1).
3. If the Removable Filter Holder is not already in position,
replace following the instructions outlined in step 2 in the
“Before Using Your Programmable Coffeemaker” section of
this Use and Care Guide. Place the Permanent Filter Basket
into the Filter Holder. The notched cutout of the Permanent
Filter Basket will face the right side of the Holder as it slips
into position. Fold the Handle down.
4. Add 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of drip or regular grind coffee for
each cup of coffee desired into the Filter Basket.
5. You may choose to brew your coffee with a stronger BREW
STRENGTH. To do so, turn the Brew Strength Control Dial
located on the top of the unit. The
arrows indicate a stronger or lighter
brew strength. (See Figure 4.)
NOTE: Additionally, to further brew a
stronger or milder coffee, adjust
amount of coffee to suit your taste.
NOTE: We recommend using coffee
ground specifically for automatic drip
coffeemakers.
6. Close the Filter Holder Lid. Make sure it fits snugly and shuts
fully against the Coffeemaker.
