USING YOUR 3 IN 1 COFFEE CENTER – PREPARING COFFEE
1. Place appliance on dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge.
2. With both switches in the “OFF” position, plug cord into a 120 volt AC electric
outlet only.
3. Swivel out the brew basket and place a #4 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 each cup of brewed
coffee to start. After using your coffeemaker a few times, adjust the amount of
coffee to suit your own taste. 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.
4. Close the brew basket pushing in firmly until the basket touches the side of the
coffee machine and the basket “clicks” into place. If the brew basket is not
closed properly, hot water/coffee may overflow. NOTE: Make sure the filter is
seated properly in the basket and does not fold over itself when closing the brew
basket as this may cause hot water/coffee overflow or it may allow the water to
bypass the coffee grounds producing a very weak coffee brew.
5. 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.
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 properly positioned on the coffee carafe. If the covered carafe is
not in place during the brew process hot water/coffee may overflow.
7. Turn on the coffee machine by using the CAFFE on/off switch. The indicator
light will illuminate indicating that the brewing process has begun. NOTE: As
long as the red indicator light is illuminated, the coffee will be kept warm. If the
coffee carafe is removed before the end of the brew cycle, it must be returned
properly to the warming plate so the coffee may continue to brew and to avoid
hot water/coffee overflow.
8. Unplug cord from electrical outlet after use and allow the 3 in 1 Coffee Center to
cool completely before cleaning.
Using the Pause ‘n Serve Feature: The Pause ‘n Serve Feature allows you to
pour a cup of coffee while it is still brewing. For optimum flavor, allow half the
quantity of coffee to finish brewing before removing carafe. Return carafe within
30 seconds so the coffee may continue to brew to avoid hot water/coffee
overflow. To prevent scald injury do not remove any part of coffeemaker,
other than carafe, during the brew cycle.
