Adding Water and Ground Coffee
Lift and open the filter basket lid. For your convenience, you can lift out
the removable filter basket.
Place a 10–12 cup paper cone-style filter or the permanent filter into the
removable filter basket.
NOTE:
If using paper filters, it is important that the sides of the filter fit flush
against the side of the filter basket. If filter collapse occurs, dampen the filter
before placing in the filter basket and adding ground coffee and water.
Add the desired amount of coffee and gently shake to level the coffee. See
the Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart.
Be sure the filter is properly centered and all the way down in the filter
basket.
Fill the carafe with cold, fresh water to the desired capacity (1 cup equals
5 ounces). For easy and accurate filling, the water markings on the glass
carafe show the amount of water needed to make the corresponding
desired number of cups. The amount of coffee brewed will always be
slightly less than the amount of water poured in the water reservoir. This
is due to the minimum absorption of water by the coffee grounds.
Pour the water into the water reservoir. Do not fill past the “MAX line” or
water will flow out of the overfill hole in the back of the water reservoir.
Close the lid and place the empty decanter onto the warming plate.
NOTE:
Make sure the carafe is fully placed on the warming plate or the water and
the grounds will overflow from the filter basket. An overflow may cause personal
injury or damage to property.
CAUTION!
To reduce the risk of damaging the carafe and/or the risk of personal
injury, do not add cold water to the carafe if the carafe is already hot. Allow the
carafe to cool before using.
BREWING COFFEE NOW
After completing the steps in the “Adding Water and Coffee” section and
with the carafe and the filter basket securely in place, turn the
coffeemaker on.
Press the PROGRAM Button to begin the brewing cycle. The green
indicator light will turn on to signal that the coffeemaker is brewing.
When the brewing cycle is complete, the coffeemaker switches over to the
warming mode. Your coffeemaker will keep your coffee hot for 2 hours,
then automatically shut off. While the coffee is brewing, the Pause ’n Serve
feature allows you to sneak a cup of coffee from the carafe. Replace the
carafe on the warming plate within 30 seconds to prevent overflow and
possible injury. To turn the coffeemaker off, push the OFF button.
CAUTION!
If the brew basket overflows or fails to empty into the carafe, do not
open the brew basket. Turn off the coffeemaker. Unplug the coffeemaker and wait
for the contents to cool before handling.
After the used coffee grounds have cooled, carefully open the filter basket
and discard them.
Make sure the carafe is empty before starting to brew coffee again.
Be sure to turn your coffeemaker off when no longer using it.
BREWING COFFEE LATER
You must first set the time for when you would like the coffeemaker to
begin brewing your coffee as described in “Setting the Clock and the Delay
Brew Timer” section.
Prepare your coffeemaker as described in “Adding Water and Ground
Coffee section.
