Helpful Hints for Brewing
Always use fresh, cold water for brewing. In areas with hard water
or where water contains a high mineral content, use cold filtered
water for optimal coffee taste.
For best results, use a premium, fine grind, roast coffee.
Use a #4 paper cone filter or a permanent gold filter.

To Start Brewing Coffee Immediately
For optimal holding temperature, rinse the inside of Thermal Carafe
with warm water before brewing; empty and make sure Carafe Lid is
properly secured onto Carafe. Place Carafe securely onto coffee maker.
Press the ON/OFF button. The ON LED will illuminate as the coffee
maker begins brewing the coffee. Once the brewing cycle is complete
the coffee maker will turn OFF automatically.
Once brewing is complete, carefully remove Thermal Carafe from
Base Plate. To pour coffee, press button on Carafe Lid Handle.
To Start Brewing Coffee
at the Programmed Time
At the programmed time, the coffee maker will turn itself on automatically.
The ON light will turn on as the coffee maker begins brewing and coffee
will begin flowing into the Thermal Carafe. Once the brewing cycle is
complete the coffee maker will turn OFF automatically.
Once brewing is complete, carefully remove Thermal Carafe from
Base Plate. To pour coffee, press button on Carafe Lid Handle.
NOTE: The amount of coffee in the Carafe may be slightly less than
the amount of water placed in the Water Reservoir, since some of the
water is absorbed by the coffee grounds.
Auto Pause and Pour Feature
Remove the Thermal Carafe from the Base Plate. Always keep the
Carafe Lid on the Carafe when pouring the coffee.
IMPORTANT: When using the Auto
Pause and Pour Feature while the
coffee maker is still brewing, the
Thermal Carafe with Lid must be
replaced on the Base Plate, under
the Filter Basket within (1) one
minute to prevent the Filter Basket
from overflowing.
