WATER FILTER
This unit features an optional charcoal water filter to provide optimum taste and
removal of most of the chlorine from tap water, along with other metals and
particles often found in tap water. To insert the charcoal filter, remove the lid of
the water chamber. Take the water chamber by the handle and lift directly up
and out. Turn filter holder counter clockwise until it releases. Place charcoal
filter in water filter holder, aligning arrow on chamber with tab on holder, push
up and turn clockwise, (see figure 2). Reposition chamber in coffeemaker
aligning tabs on chamber and grooves in coffeemaker, replace lid. The water
will be filtered when poured either directly through the water chamber or
through the frontal water fill. Filters should be replaced either after 60 uses or 6
weeks (whichever occurs first) and can be ordered direct from Toastmaster by
calling toll-free 1-800-947-3744 or 1-800-947-3745.
Each charcoal water filter comes with a set of monthly stickers to attach to the
label located on the water chamber lid. Write day next to month, this will allow
you to keep track when you started using the water filter.
If you use spring or bottled water or your water contains only a small amount
of chlorine, you may not notice a difference in the taste of your coffee when
using the filter.

overflow from the filter basket.
