USING YOUR COFFEEMAKER
PREPARING YOUR COFFEEMAKER FOR USE
z
Carefully unpack the Coffeemaker and remove all packing materials.
z
Before making coffee in your Coffeemaker, thoroughly clean your Glass Carafe,
Glass Carafe Lid and Removable Filter Basket with warm soapy water. Rinse
and dry. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
z
You may wipe the Warming Plate with a clean damp cloth, however, do not
immerse the Coffeemaker in water or other liquids.
Note:
We recommend that prior to brewing your first pot of Gevalia coffee, you brew cold
water only, without ground coffee or a paper filter. This will remove any dust that may have
settled inside the Coffeemaker.
IMPORTANT:
Use only cold filtered or bottled water for best results.
SETTING YOUR CLOCK AND USING THE PROGRAMMABLE TIMER:
SETTING YOUR CLOCK:

NOTE: Unplugging the unit will reset the clock to 12:00.

z
Release the “BREW” button.
z
Press the "START/STOP" button ONLY ONCE. The red “AUTO” light will go on. Your
Coffeemaker is now set to start brewing at the programmed time.
IMPORTANT CAUTION:
If the Flip-Up Filter Basket Lid is not completely closed or the Lid on the Glass
Carafe is not securely and properly closed, then the Pause & Serve feature will not
function properly. This could cause hot water or hot coffee to overflow from the unit.
If you have set the Coffeemaker to start brewing at a specific time, be absolutely
sure that the Carafe and Carafe Lid are in place, and the Lid on the top of the
Coffeemaker is closed. Also make sure that the Shower Head Filter is securely
mounted on its track.
FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR
Open the Hinged Reservoir Lid that is located on the top, backside of the
Coffeemaker (see illustration page). Fill the Glass Carafe with the desired
amount of cold filtered or bottled water. Empty the water from the Glass Carafe into the
Water Reservoir. The Water Level Indicator window will let you know how much water is in
the container. Close the Hinged Reservoir Lid and place the Glass Carafe securely against
the back of the Warming Plate.
NOTE:
z
There is a Overflow Hole in the back of the Water Reservoir to prevent
exceeding the capacity of the Coffeemaker. If you add too much water, it will
drip out from the back of the unit.
z
The amount of brewed coffee after the brewing process will always be slightly
less than the amount of water placed into the Coffeemaker, since some water
will be absorbed by the coffee grounds.
