OPERATING YOUR COFFEE MAKER
(continued)
NOTE:
The amount of brewed coffee after the brewing process is complete will
always be slightly less than the amount of water placed in the coffee maker’s
water tank, since some water is absorbed by the coffee grounds and filter.
Add a little extra water at the beginning so that you have the exact number
of cups desired.
PREPARING THE COFFEE:
1.
Lift out removable filter basket. The permanent filter (included) may
be used instead of or in addition to a paper filter (not included). If
using paper filters, insert a #4 cone-shaped filter into the filter basket
before filling with coffee. Fill the filter with the required amount of
coffee.
2.
Place the desired amount of ground coffee in 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 by decreasing or increasing the
amount of coffee used.
NOTE:
Be sure to use coffee grounds prepared specifically for use
with automatic drip coffee makers.
3.
Return the filter basket to the inside of the coffee maker. Be sure the
filter basket is seated properly inside the coffee maker. Close the lid
on top of the coffee maker.
CAUTION:
Do not operate your coffee
maker if the lid does not close completely. If the lid does not close
completely, check to see that the filter basket is properly sealed, and
snap into place.
4.
Adjust the ACCUFLAVOR dial as desired to change the strength of
your coffee. Turn the control to the left for light coffee and to the
right for dark (or strong) coffee.
5.
Screw the lid onto the thermal carafe until it locks into place (notch
on top of lid should be aligned with handle). Place the carafe on
the base. For brewing the lid should be completely closed.
6.
Plug the unit into an outlet and press the ON/OFF button.
7.
Press the ON/OFF button twice to begin brewing immediately. The
ON/OFF button will illuminate and the coffee maker will start the
brewing process.
