Brewing Instructions
1. Plug Coffee Maker into any 120V AC electrical outlet.
2. Fill Carafe with cold tap water and pour into Water Chamber.
Markings on the Water Window indicate level of water required
to brew desired number of cups. No less than two cups is
recommended.
NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee will always be less than
the amount of water placed into Coffee Maker, since about 10%
is absorbed by coffee grounds and filter.
3. Place a #4 paper cone-shaped filter in Removable Cone Filter
Basket. Replace Removable Cone Filter Basket in the Filter Basket
Holder. Measure one level tablespoon of drip or regular grind
coffee for each cup of coffee desired.
4. Set the Aroma Control Selector Dial to your desired brew strength.
5. Close the Lid.
6. Place Carafe on Warming Plate.
7. Switch Power Button to ON (I).
8. If you wish to serve a cup of coffee before brew cycle is
completed, simply remove Carafe from Warming Plate. Dripping
will automatically cease. Return Carafe to position on Warming
Plate within 60 seconds; dripping will resume.
9. Upon completion of the brew cycle, wait about one minute until
the brew dripping from the Filter Basket Holder into the Carafe
has stopped. Carafe Lid should be kept in place to facilitate safe
serving and help keep coffee at proper serving temperature.
10. To keep coffee hot, return Carafe to the Warming Plate after
serving. The Warming Plate will automatically cycle to maintain
ideal serving temperature as long as the Coffee Maker is ON.
11. Switch Coffee Maker to OFF (O) when Carafe is empty or when unit
is not in use.
12. To brew another Carafe of coffee, turn unit OFF and wait 10
minutes to allow heating element to cool.
I
MPORTANT: If unit is not allowed to cool before immediate
repeated use, water placed in Water Chamber may become
overheated and a spray of steam could be released from
opening, creating a risk of burns.

Before You Use Your Coffee Maker
Before preparing coffee in your new Coffee Maker, thoroughly clean
the Carafe, Carafe Lid and Removable Cone Filter Basket in hot,
sudsy water. Rinse and dry. Replace disassembled parts. Clean the
inside of the Coffee Maker by brewing two full Carafes of tap water
(see “Brewing Instructions” below).
NOTE: At the end of first cycle, turn Coffee Maker off and wait ten
minutes. Turn unit on and brew second Carafe of water.
Coffee Yield
10-Cup Coffee Maker: 10 (5 oz.) cups.
NOTE: A 5oz. cup is the American industry standard and is used by
most Coffee Maker manufacturers. To fill your favorite mug, fill
Coffee Maker reservoir with enough water for 2 cups (10 oz.).
Coffee Filters
Cone-shaped paper filters are available locally at grocery stores and
where Coffee Makers are sold. Standard #4 filters should be used.
The use of basket-style paper filters is not recommended, since they
do not conform to the shape of the Filter Basket and may cause
coffee to back up and spill over during brewing.
Aroma Control Selector Dial
Use this Dial to choose lighter or stronger
strength of brew. To ensure optimum flavor,
the Aroma Control Selector Dial regulates
the brewing process. When preparing coffee,
turn the Aroma Control Selector Dial to the
desired strength. If a stronger strength is
selected, this will slow down the flow of
water into the Removable Cone Filter Basket
to provide a rich coffee flavor by promoting
a better saturation of grounds.
NOTE: For stronger or milder coffee,
adjust amount of coffee to suit your taste.
