How to Use

This appliance is intended for household use only.

GETTING STARTED

1. Remove all stickers, packing material, and literature.
2. Wash all parts as instructed in the Care and Cleaning section.
3. Pour cold water up to 11-cup level mark in the water reservoir. Brew it through as

instructed in "BREWING", but do not add coffee grounds to the paper filter. When done,
turn off the coffeemaker and discard the water from the carafe.

BREWING

1. Lift the one-piece cover. Use the carafe to fill water reservoir with cold water.
2. Place a paper filter into the brew basket. Add ground coffee, (we recommend one or two

heaping tablespoons for every 2 cups). Close the cover.

3. Place carafe on the "Keep Hot" plate and plug in the unit.
4. Press "ON/OFF" button and the indicator light comes on, or for delayed brewing,

see "SETTING THE CLOCK/TIMER & AUTO-BREW." You do not have to set the clock
if you want to brew coffee right away.

5. Replace the carafe on the “Keep Hot” plate when not serving to keep coffee hot.

The coffeemaker will keep coffee warm for 2 hours before it automatically shuts off.

Sneak-A-Cup

Interrupt Feature

You can pour a cup of coffee while coffee is brewing without leaking from the brew
basket. When finished pouring coffee, place the carafe under brew basket. The brewing
process continues.

Important:

To avoid possible overflow after removing the carafe, be sure to replace the

carafe under the brew basket within one minute or less.
