9. After coffee grounds have cooled, carefully open filter basket and discard used
coffee filter and grounds. To remove filter basket from brewer, grasp basket
handle and pull basket outward, and with basket in far right position, lift
basket up and remove from hinge.
10. The personal carafe has a brew-through lid which allows coffee to be poured
with the lid in the “CLOSED” position so coffee freshness and temperature can
be preserved. NEVER POUR LIQUID FROM THERMAL CARAFE UNLESS LID IS IN
“CLOSED” POSITION.
FOR MANUAL BREWING
When the normal water supply is not available: Open thermal carafe lid by turning
it in the direction of “OPEN” arrow and lifting off. Fill the thermal carafe with cold,
fresh water to within 1 inch of the rim. Open hinged water reservoir cover; pour
water into reservoir opening. Markings on water level indicator show amount of
water needed to make the desired number of cups of coffee.
DO NOT EXCEED
THE 12-CUP LEVEL ON THE WATER LEVEL INDICATOR. Close reservoir cover.
Proceed with steps 2-10 as outlined above.
PAUSE &
SERVE
This feature allows a cup of coffee to be poured before the brew cycle has finished.
Carefully remove thermal carafe, and the Pause &
Serve feature will be
automatically activated, temporarily stopping the flow of coffee into the thermal
carafe. Return thermal carafe to platform immediately after pouring coffee, and the
brewing process will resume.
IMPORTANT: Carafe must be returned to its brewing position within 30 seconds to
prevent the filter basket from overflowing.
NOTE: Strength of coffee poured mid-cycle may vary from the finished brew.
CAUTION: During brew cycle, basket must be closed securely as basket in
improper position may cause hot water or coffee to overflow.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Daily
Always unplug brewer and allow to cool before cleaning or transporting. Wash filter
basket and carafe lid in hot, sudsy water. Rinse inside of thermal carafe with
lukewarm water. Wipe brewer and outside of thermal carafe with damp cloth and
dry. Never put brewer or thermal carafe in water or in the dishwasher. For hard to
remove stains, use a plastic mesh pad or a cloth dampened in vinegar. Do not use
metal cleaning pad or abrasive cleaners.
Monthly
Minerals found in water can clog brewer or reduce its efficiency. To prevent this use
Urnex Dezcal. Fill carafe with cold water, add Urnex Dezcal and stir. Pour mixture
info reservoir opening. Place empty thermal carafe (with lid securely closed) on
platform and press “BREW” button. After mixture has been cycled through, press
“OFF” button. Rinse by running 2 or 3 more brew cycles of plain water. Do not pour
any liquid other than cold tap water or Urnex Dezcal mixture into reservoir opening
