or permanent filter. Be sure that the paper
filter is completely open and fully inserted
in the basket. It may help to fold and flatten
the seams of a paper filter beforehand.
Add the desired amount of ground coffee,
corresponding to the number of cups being
brewed. Many coffee bars and the Specialty
Coffee Association of America recommend
adding 2 rounded tablespoons (30 ml)of
coffee per 6 ounces (170 ml) of water. Some
coffee manufacturers recommend using
1 tablespoon (15 ml) per cup. We
recommend using 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of
ground coffee per cup, but use more or less
to suit your taste.
NOTE: The maximum capacity for
ground coffee is 15 tablespoons (225 ml)
for this 10 cup (1.5 L) coffeemaker.
Exceeding this amount may cause
overflow if the coffee is too finely
ground.
Replace the filter basket in the filter basket
holder and flip the water reservoir lid
closed. Press firmly on top where it says
"Press to Close". Be sure that it closes
securely in place.
Before brewing coffee:
Remove thermal carafe lid by turning in the
direction of the “unlock” arrow. Prewarm carafe
by rinsing it out with hot water. PREWARMING
THE CARAFE WILL HELP KEEP THE
COFFEE HOTTER.
Return the carafe lid to the carafe. To lock the
lid, turn in the direction of the “lock” arrow until
it fits tightly on carafe and arrow lines up in the
centre of the pour spout. This ensures lid is
closed and in the proper position for brewing
and pouring.
Make sure you have replaced the carafe in its
position on the heating plate and have closed the
top cover. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.
4. Power unit:
Turn the function knob to brew, lift flip
switch up to “On” position, and the red
indicator light will turn on. Or, set the Auto
On function and the green indicator will light.
5. During and after brewing:
The Brew Pause™ feature allows you to
remove the carafe from the plate during
mid-brew. The brewing process does not
stop during this period – only the flow of
coffee from the basket stops. Do not remove
the carafe for longer than 30 seconds or the
coffee may overflow the basket. While we
offer this feature, we do not recommend that
you pour the coffee before the cycle has
reached completion, since the coffee
brewed at the beginning of the cycle has a
flavour profile which is very different from
the flavour at the end of the cycle.
Removing a cup during the brewing cycle
will alter the flavour of the finished pot.
Once the coffee has finished brewing, stir
it before serving to blend the flavours. The
coffee at the bottom of the carafe will be
somewhat stronger than the coffee at
the top.
When the brewing cycle has been
completed, five beeps will sound unless
you have turned off the ready tone. Coffee
will continue to stream from the filter for
several seconds.
After brewing, the unit will automatically shut
itself off. The thermal carafe will keep the
coffee hot for hours.
Bottom of Thermal Carafe is hot to touch
for several minutes after brewing.
Use caution.
The brew-through, pour-through lid allows
coffee to drip from coffeemaker through the
closed lid. When brewing is complete, the lid
seals itself so air stays out and coffee fresh-
ness and temperature are preserved. No
need to turn or adjust the lid before pouring.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Always turn coffeemaker OFF and remove the
plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
Lift up the reservoir cover. Remove and
discard the paper filter and ground coffee.
The filter basket and gold tone filter can be
washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed
thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the
dishwasher. Dry all parts after use.
Do not put any water in the unit once
the filter basket has been removed.
Wipe the area under the filter basket
with a damp cloth.
