TIPS AND HINTS
• If you buy large portions of beans, separate
them into one- or two-week portions and
store them in airtight containers in the
freezer. Preserve freshness by minimizing
exposure to air, light, and moisture. Once
beans are removed from the freezer, keep
them in a sealed container at room
temperature, since damaging condensation
can occur when beans move from cold to
warmer temperatures.
• Some experts feel freezing dark-roaste beans
can cause oils to coagulate; others diagree
You’ll have to decide that one for youself!
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
COMPLETELY CLEAN AND DRY
ALL PARTS AFTER EVERY USE
Always turn coffeemaker off and remove the
plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
After every use, remove the filter basket and
permanent or paper filter. Discard coffee grounds
and paper filter. Remove carafe and pour out any
remaining coffee. The permanent filter, filter bas-
ket, carafe and lid can be washed in warm,
soapy water and rinsed thoroughly or cleaned
in the upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all
parts after every use.
If you forget to empty the filter basket after
brewing, EMPTY will appear in the display and
the machine will not operate. Open the filter
basket door, empty the basket, and close the
door. The message will disappear and your
coffeemaker is ready to use.
TO CLEAN GRINDER OF
COFFEE BEANS
1. Remove hopper cover.
2. Scoop out remaining beans from the
hopper.
3. Place the clean, dry filter basket
assembly in place (a paper filter can be
used if desired).
4. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the
coffeemaker on.
5. Press and hold down the Brew button until
the coffeemaker begins to grind the beans.
6. After grinding stops, be sure to turn
coffeemaker off.
7. Dispose of or re-purpose coffee grinds in
filter basket.
8. Use a damp cloth to clean the hopper.
9. Leave the cover off to let the hopper dry
completely before adding coffee beans.
MAINTENANCE
Any other servicing should be performed by
an authorized service representative.
DECALCIFICATION
The decalcification process removes calcium
deposits, which form over time on the metal
parts of the coffeemaker.
For best performance from your coffeemaker,
decalcify the base unit from time to time. The
frequency will depend upon the hardness of
your tap water and frequency of use.
The CLEAN indicator will flash in the display
when the coffeemaker is turned on, signaling
that it is time to decalcify the unit.
NOTE: Before decalcifying your
coffeemaker, remember to remove the
charcoal water filter from the water filter
holder located in the water reservoir.
Brew Pause™ Feature
Our Brew Pause™ feature interrupts the
flow of coffee from the basket to let you
pour that “first” cup mid-brew. Be aware
that using this feature will weaken the
flavor strength of the finished pot,
because the flavor profile of coffee
brewed at the beginning of the cycle
differs from coffee made at the end.
NOTE:
Removing carafe for more than
20 seconds may cause filter basket to
overflow.
