MAKING COFFEE 

Follow the instructions for BEFORE 
BREWING YOUR FIRST POT OF COFFEE 
above.

1.  Insert charcoal water filter 

Follow directions for the preparation and 
insertion of the filter on page 7.

2.  Fill the water reservoir 

Open the coffeemaker reservoir cover by 
lifting it up. Pour in the desired amount  
of water, using the water level indicator 
located at the side of the coffeemaker. 

3.  Add the ground coffee 

 

 Insert a #4 paper filter OR the gold-tone 
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 1 

level scoop of ground coffee per cup. 
Adjust the amount according to taste. 

  

NOTE

: The maximum capacity for ground 

coffee is 15 tablespoons for this 
coffeemaker. Exceeding this amount may 
cause overflow if the coffee is too finely 
ground.

4.  Position carafe and plug in unit 

Place carafe on heating plate and be sure 
coffeemaker lid is closed. Plug coffeemaker 
into an electrical outlet.

5.  Cup preference 

Push the 1–4 cup button if you are brewing 
fewer than 5 cups.

6.  Start brewing 

Turn the function knob to Brew, press the  
On/Off button, and the white indicator light 
will turn on.

7.  After brewing 

 

When the brewing cycle has been 
completed, five beeps will sound. Coffee 
will continue to stream from the filter for 
several seconds.

 

NOTE: Reservoir cover may be hot 
during and directly after brewing. Wait at 
least 10 minutes before opening.

BEFORE BREWING YOUR 

FIRST POT OF COFFEE

Rinsing your coffeemaker:

 During the 

manufacturing process, dust can get trapped 
in the unit. We recommend flushing out the 
system before brewing your first pot of coffee. 
Simply fill the reservoir and power on the unit 
(See steps 2, 4 and 6 in MAKING COFFEE 
instructions, below). 

DO NOT ADD COFFEE!

BREW PAUSE

 FEATURE

This feature interrupts the flow of coffee 

from the basket to let you pour that first 

cup mid-brew. Because the flavour profile 

of coffee brewed at the start of a cycle 

differs from that brewed toward the end, 

be aware that using this feature will 

weaken the flavour strength of the  

finished pot.

NOTE:

 Removing carafe for more than  

20 seconds may cause filter basket to 

overflow.
