PREPARING AND FILLING BREWER
Swing the filter basket door outward to your right. Lift out removable filter
basket. Insert a #4 cone-shaped filter into the filter basket. The permanent filter
may be used instead of the paper filter. Fill the filter with the required amount of
coffee. After brewing cycle, empty the grounds and rinse thoroughly with water.
Place the desired amount of ground coffee into the filter. According to coffee
industry standards, use one standard coffee measure (2 level tablespoons) of
grounds for each six ounces of water. After using your coffee maker several
times, the amount of coffee may be adjusted to suit your particular taste of
decreasing or increasing the amount of coffee used.
Return the filter basket with the filled filter to the door. Be sure the filter basket
is seated properly in the door. Swing the door closed and snap into place.
CAUTION:
Do not operate your coffee maker if the door does not close complete-
ly. If the door does not close completely, check to see that the filter basket is
properly sealed and then snap the door into place.
Press the Power Select Button. The On Light will go on indicating that the coffee
maker has begun the brewing cycle. In a few minutes the coffee maker will com-
plete the brewing cycle and switch over to the warming mode which will keep the
coffee hot.
Press the Power Select Button to OFF when the carafe is empty or when the
coffee maker is not in use.
THE COFFEE MAKER WILL NOT TURN OFF AUTOMATICALLY.
PLEASE TURN OFF WHEN YOU ARE DONE USING IT.
HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE
A clean coffee maker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regular clean-
ing, as specified in ‘Cleaning your Coffee Maker” is highly recommended. Always
use fresh, cold water in your coffee maker. For optimum coffee, buy whole beans
and grind them just before brewing. Re-using coffee grounds is not recommend-
ed. Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor immedi-
ately after brewing. Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed black coffee are
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.
CLEANING YOUR COFFEE MAKER
CAUTION
: Always make sure coffee maker is unplugged and warming plate is cool
before attempting to clean. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse
cord, plug or unit in water or other liquid.
The outside of your coffee maker can be cleaned by wiping the surface with a
damp, soft cloth.
IMPORTANT:
Never immerse the coffee maker in water or other liquid.
Glass carafe, carafe lid and removable filter basket may be washed with warm,
soapy water or placed in the top rack of the dishwasher. Do not place any other
parts of the coffee maker in the dishwasher.
To clean the permanent filter, empty the grounds and rinse thoroughly.
Do not clean the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth as the cloth may have a
lint residue that could clog the coffee maker.
For stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleaner. Do
not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.
Calcium deposits may build up in the coffee maker as a result of minerals
commonly found in drinking water. The build-up is normal and may result in a
slowdown of the coffee maker’s brewing time. The slowdown can be eliminated
by periodically decalcifying the coffee maker.
To decalcify, fill the carafe with cold water and two tablespoons of white vinegar.
Pour the solution into the water reservoir, and then close the lid. Place the carafe
on the warming plate and allow the coffee maker to brew the vinegar solution.
While decalcifying, do not use a filter in the filter basket. When the vinegar
solution has finished brewing, empty the carafe and rinse it out with cold water.
Refill the water reservoir with cold water only and run another brew cycle to
remove any remaining vinegar solution. Repeat if necessary.
