FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR: 

Open the hinged Water Reservoir Lid that is located on the top backside of the 

Coffeemaker (See Figure A). Fill the Water Reservoir with the desired amount of cold 

filtered or bottled water. Refer to the indicator markings on the side of the Water Reservoir 

to see how much water is inside it.    Do not exceed the MAX Fill Line indicated on the 

Water Reservoir (See Figure A).     

NOTE: 

z

 

There is an 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.

display, is also set to the correct time of day you want the Coffeemaker 

to begin brewing.

If you are setting the unit to start brewing automatically, be sure that the 

unit is filled with water, the Filter Basket Lid is down, and that the Carafe is 

sitting securely on the Warming Plate. 

 

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

the digital display.    (See Figure B) 

 

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: 

1.  Place the Coffeemaker on a flat, level surface such as a countertop. Plug the 

Coffeemaker into a 120 volt 60 Hz AC outlet. 

2.  Fill the Water Reservoir.    Flip open the Filter Basket Lid and insert a No. 4 Gevalia 

cone shaped paper filter into the Removable Filter Basket. Place the desired amount of 

ground coffee into the paper filter.    Brew Gevalia Kaffe with the coffee/water ratio you 

normally use when you prepare ground coffee. If you prefer strong coffee, we 

recommend the following European method, which produces rich, full-bodied flavor. 

Use one level Gevalia scoop for each cup (6 fluid ounces) or 12 level scoops per full 

pot of coffee. (Experiment with the amount of coffee used in order to adjust the flavor 

to your taste.)
