Lift the coffeemaker lid to open. Pour the
desired amount of water into the water
reservoir using the water level indicator
located at the side of the coffeemaker.
2. Add the ground coffee
Insert a #4 paper filter OR the gold-tone
filter. Be sure that the paper filter is com-
pletely open and fully inserted in the bas-
ket. 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.

Place carafe in unit and be sure
coffeemaker lid is closed. Plug coffeemaker
into an electrical outlet.

a. Press the 1–4 cup button if you are
brewing fewer than 5 cups. The indicator
light will illuminate.
b. Press the Bold button to select stronger
coffee flavor, if desired. The button’s
indicator light will illuminate. Press again
to turn off light and brew at regular
strength.
5. Start Brewing
Press the Brew/Off button to begin

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.
Helpful Hint: Using cold water
in the carafe can affect brewed coffee
temperature. “Preheat” your carafe by
rinsing it out with hot water before
brewing.
