HOW TO USE THE AUTOMATIC
12 CUP COFFEEMAKER
Before first use:
Before the first use it is suggested that you clean your new coffeemaker. Simply run through 2 brew cycles as
described below without using coffee or a coffee filter.
PREPARATION FOR USE – Manual Operation
1.
Place the coffeemaker on a hard, flat surface. With the coffeemaker turned off, plug in.
2.
Fill the carafe with fresh, cold water (preferably bottled or filtered water). Open the Top cover and pour the
water into the water tank. The number of cups is shown by the water level indicator. Do not exceed the
maximum fill level. We do not recommend making less than 4 cups.
3.
Place the carafe with the lid closed in the coffee maker making sure it is fully seated in the coffee maker to
activate the pause-n-serve mechanism.
CAUTION:
To avoid filter basket overflow, the carafe must fit securely into the coffee maker with the lid on. If
not properly positioned on the warming plate it could cause hot water or hot coffee to overflow.
4.
With the reservoir cover in the full opened position, insert filter ,into the filter basket holder, folding the seamed
edges to insure a snug fit in the basket.
5.
Add coffee using the measuring scoop provided. Brew coffee 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 scoop for each cup (6 fluid ounces) or 10 level scoops per full pot
of coffee. Experiment with the amount of coffee used in order to adjust the flavor to your taste.
Do not exceed
the Max level.
6.
Close the Top cover make sure it is securely closed.
7.
With the Top cover firmly closed and the carafe securely in place, press the On button. The green On LED light will
light up to indicate the brew cycle has started.
8.
When the brewing process ends and the water level indicator is empty, there will still be hot liquid in the filter
basket. Wait a few minutes for the rest of the liquid to drip through into the carafe.
9.
After coffee grounds have cooled, open the TOP cover and carefully remove the filter by grasping the handle and
lifting straight up from the Funnel compartment. Discard used coffee filter and grounds.
CAUTION: Coffeemaker becomes very hot during the brew cycle. Please handle with extreme care.
10.
The keep warm plate will operate as long as the switch is on.
11.
Always switch the coffee maker to OFF when the carafe is empty or you no longer want to keep coffee hot. The
coffee maker will shut off automatically after 40 minutes.
12.
If two (2) or more pots of coffee are to be made it is recommended that the coffee maker be allowed to cool for
10 minutes between each brewed pot. The filter should also be rinsed out after each brew cycle.
CAUTION: Never open the Top cover during the brewing cycle; even if no water is draining
from the Funnel. Extremely hot water/coffee can spill out from the basket and cause injury. If
water/coffee is not draining from the filter basket, IMMEDIATELY unplug the unit and wait 10
minutes before opening and checking the filter .
