USING YOUR DRIP COFFEEMAKER – PREPARING COFFEE
1. Place appliance on dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge.
2. Plug cord into a 120 volt AC electric outlet only.
3. Open the hinged water reservoir and pour in the desired quantity of clean cool
water for the number of cups you are brewing. Never pour more water into the
reservoir than the marked maximum level. For maximum flavor do not use
warm or hot water to fill reservoir.
4. Place a #4 cone paper coffee filter into the brew basket. Add desired amount of
coffee into the filter. We recommend one measure (measuring spoon provided)
of ground coffee for every two cups of brewed coffee to start. After using your
coffeemaker a few times, adjust the amount of coffee to suit your own taste. Do
not use more than a total of ½ cup of coffee grounds due to possible flooding.
NOTE: The coffee grind should be appropriate for a “drip” coffeemaker. Do not
use coffee that is ground to a powder like consistency as this will prevent water
from passing through the coffee and may cause hot water/coffee overflow.
5. Close the reservoir cover.
6. Place the coffee carafe with lid in position on the warming plate. Make sure
coffee carafe sits flat on inside circle of warming plate. NOTE: The lid of the
carafe must be in place and properly positioned on the coffee carafe during the
brew process or hot water or hot coffee may overflow.
7. Turn the coffeemaker to the ON position. The indicator light will illuminate
indicating that the brewing process has begun. NOTE: The coffee will not brew
unless the carafe is in place. Ensure the carafe is in place before turning
coffeemaker on.
Glass Carafe Model – As long as the indicator light is illuminated, the coffee will
be kept warm. The coffeemaker is designed to automatically turn off after 2-
hours of keep warm. After the 2-hour keep warm period, the coffee maker and
indicator light will turn off.
Thermal Carafe Model – The thermal carafe model turns off automatically and
the indicator light will turn off as soon as the brew cycle is complete. There is no
keep warm period; the thermal carafe will keep the coffee warm for hours.
8. Unplug cord from electrical outlet after use and allow the Coffeemaker to cool
completely before cleaning.
• Pause 'n Serve Feature: The Pause 'n Serve Feature allows you to pour a cup
of coffee during the brewing process. For optimum flavor, allow half the quantity
of coffee to finish brewing before removing carafe. Return the carafe as soon as
possible so the coffee may continue to brew. The brew stop feature will not allow
the coffeemaker to brew unless the carafe is in place. To prevent scald injury,
do not remove any part of coffeemaker, other than carafe, during the brew
cycle.
