5. Allow coffeemaker to complete brew cycle. When coffee stops dripping from basket, coffee is ready. Four cups
of coffee takes about 8 minutes to brew. The amount of coffee obtained will be slightly less than the amount of
water used (5 ounces) as some water is absorbed by the coffee grounds. Remove carafe from base to serve. Coffee
will stay hot as long as coffeemaker remains on. After serving, turn coffee maker off and unplug cord from
electrical outlet.
6. Remove basket and discard grounds and paper filter.
7. If brewing another carafe of coffee immediately, allow coffeemaker to cool about 2 minutes after being turned
OFF. Rinse carafe and basket, then repeat Steps 1 through 6 above for brewing coffee. Remember to use COLD
water for brewing to reset the thermostat.
Using Pause ‘n Serve Feature
Your coffeemaker includes a built-in Pause’n Serve feature which allows you to pour a cup of coffee while it is
being brewed. For optimum flavor, allow at least half the quantity of coffee to finish brewing before removing the
carafe to pour a cup. When the carafe is removed, coffee will automatically stop flowing from the basket. Return
the carafe to the warming plate immediately (within 15 seconds) after the carafe is removed to prevent possible
flooding of the basket. Do not remove any part of coffeemaker, other than the carafe, during the brewing cycle as
scalding could occur.
Heating Water For Instant Beverages
Water may be heated in coffeemaker for use with instant beverages. Simply place empty coffee basket in place and
add cold water to carafe to desired cup level. Pour water into reservoir and place covered carafe on warming plate.
Plug coffeemaker in and turn ON. Allow hot water to cycle into carafe,. Pour hot water into cups containing
recommended amount of instant mix. Mix may also be added to hot water in carafe if desired. Based on 5-ounce
servings, follow package directions for amount of instant mix to use. Stir mix with a wooden spoon to dissolve.
Turn coffee maker OFF and unplug cord from outlet after serving.
Brewing Tea
Tea may be brewed in coffeemaker using tea bags (with strings removed) or loose tea leaves. Place correct shaped
paper filter into basket. Add tea to basket using recommended amount for each 5-ounce cup being prepared. Attach
basket. Fill carafe with cold water to the desired cup level and pour into water reservoir. Place covered carafe on
warming plate. Plug coffeemaker into electrical outlet and turn ON. After tea is served, turn coffeemaker OFF and
unplug cord from outlet.
