. To brew another carafe of coffee, set the switch to the OFF (O) position, if not already off. Remove
the plug from the wall outlet. It is recommended that the Coffee Maker be off and allowed to cool
for 15 minutes between cycles.
CAUTION:
Failure to allow Coffee Maker to cool sufficiently could cause hot steam and spray to
escape when water is added to the water reservoir. The hot steam and spray can cause severe burns.
2. Lift the Coffee Maker lid and then lift and remove the permanent coffee filter; discard used coffee
grounds, rinse.
3. Lift the removable filter holder up and out of the Coffee Maker.
4. Rinse the glass carafe and removable filter holder in cool, clean water.

the 2 cup line but never exceeds the MAX fill line. Add the desired amount of cold tap water into
the water reservoir. Follow the instructions above for setting up the machine.
Hints for Great Tasting Coffee
• A clean Coffee Maker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regular cleaning, as described in the
Care & Cleaning Instructions and Descaling sections of this Instruction Manual is highly recommended.
• Always use fresh, cold water in your Coffee Maker.
• Finer grinds, promote a fuller extraction and provide rich, full-bodied coffee. Regular grinds will
require slightly more coffee per cup to provide the strength of a finer grind.
• Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep it tightly sealed in the
refrigerator to maintain freshness.
• For optimum coffee flavor, buy whole beans and grind them finely just before brewing.
• Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair coffee flavor.
• Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after brewing.
• Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed, black coffee is due to the extraction of oil from
the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffees are used.
Over extraction may also cause oiliness, indicating a need to clean your Coffee Maker.

Brewing Coffee Instructions
1
. Lift to open the Coffee Maker lid. Fill carafe with cold water and pour into water reservoir at the
back of the unit. The water level indicator can be easily viewed through the water gauge on the right
side of the unit.
IMPORTANT:
Before brewing, always check to make sure water level is past the 2 Cup line and add
water if needed. Never exceed the MAX fill line.
NOTE:
The amount of brewed coffee will always be less than the amount of water placed into the
water reservoir; as much as 10% is absorbed by coffee grounds and filter.
2. Place empty carafe on the warming plate.
3. Place the permanent filter in the removable filter holder. Measure 1 level tablespoon of drip or
regular grind coffee for each cup of coffee desired. For stronger or milder coffee, adjust amount of
coffee to suit your taste.
4. Drop the filter holder down into the housing. Close the lid.
5. Plug Coffee Maker into a 120V AC electrical wall outlet.
6. Set the switch to the ON (–) position. The Coffee Maker will begin the brew cycle.
NOTE:
To interrupt the brewing cycle at any time, set the switch to OFF (O). Remove plug from wall outlet.
7. Upon completion of the brew cycle, wait at least 1 minute until the brew dripping from the filter
holder into the carafe has stopped. The carafe lid should be kept in place to facilitate safe serving
and help keep coffee at proper serving temperature. Tilt the carafe slightly and pour hot coffee very
slowly, so that the flow of the brewed coffee does not exceed the width of the spout.
8. Set the switch to OFF (O) when the carafe is empty or when unit is not in use; then remove plug
from wall outlet.
Pause and Serve
1. If you wish to serve a cup of coffee before the brew cycle is completed, simply remove carafe
from warming plate. Dripping will automatically cease. Return carafe to position on warming plate;
dripping will resume.
CAUTION:
To prevent injury when utilizing pause and serve feature, replace carafe
within 30 seconds after removing during the brewing process.
2. After approximately 2 cups of coffee have been brewed, the carafe may be slowly removed and
the coffee will stop dripping.
3. The flow valve is located on the bottom of the filter holder and is activated when the carafe is
removed. This design makes it possible for you to remove the carafe and pour a cup of coffee
before the entire carafe is brewed.
IMPORTANT:
When replacing the filter holder, the flow valve must be properly inserted into
the front hole of the machine, so that it can be seen as it sits on the top of the carafe lid.
4. When using this feature, make sure that the carafe is replaced under the filter holder within
30 seconds to prevent overflow.
