OPERATING YOUR COFFEEMAKER
The easy-to-use programmable digital controls let you know when the coffee is
ready, and even keeps track of the freshness of each brewed carafe. It’s never
been easier to brew the perfect cup of coffee.
BREWING COFFEE
1. Open the top cover (See Fig.3).
2. Use the carafe to fill the water tank
of the coffeemaker to the desired
level with cold water. There is a gauge
marked from 4 to 12 cups (600ml to
1800ml) on both the coffeemaker’s
water tank and on the sides of the
carafe (see Fig. 4). These marks show
the amount of cold water needed for
each cup of coffee.The amount of
brewed coffee will differ slightly due
to the coffee grinds absorbing
some water.
3. Place either the permanent gold-tone
filter or a size #4 cone paper filter into
the brew basket (see Fig. 5).
4. Add ground coffee. The amount of
coffee you use is a matter of personal
taste (we recommend one heaping
tablespoon for every two cups).
Experiment with different amounts of
ground coffee per cup until you brew
your perfect cup of coffee. You can
also try using a paper filter along with
the gold-tone filter.
5. Close the cover. Place carafe on the
warming plate and plug in the
appliance. The display window
illuminates green and the coffeemaker
beeps for about 1 second if the clock is
not set. The clock does not have to be
set to brew coffee. To set the clock
time, see SETTING THE CLOCK, TIMER
AND AUTO-BREWING.

6. Turn on the coffeemaker by pushing in the START/STOP button. The START/STOP
indicator will illuminate to show that the coffeemaker is brewing. After a few
seconds, hot water flows into the filter to brew coffee. When the water stops
flowing, brewing is complete, and the coffeemaker automatically switches to
the warming mode. For delayed brewing, see SETTING THE CLOCK, TIMER AND
AUTO-BREWING.
7. When you have poured out all the coffee in the carafe, press the START/STOP
button to turn off the appliance, and remove the carafe from the warming plate.
NOTE: If the coffeemaker is not turned off, it will automatically shut itself off
after two hours.

PAUSE AND POUR FEATURE
The pause and pour feature enables you to remove the carafe from the Coffeemaker
and pour a cup of coffee before brewing is finished. When the carafe is removed,
a special valve stops the flow of coffee from the brew basket to the carafe. Brewing
does not stop. IMPORTANT: If the carafe is not replaced under the brew basket after
20 seconds, water and coffee will overflow from the brew basket.
OPERATING THE CONTROL PANEL
SETTING THE CLOCK, TIMER AND AUTO-BREWING

2. Press the Hour button to change the setting to any hour number between
12:00 am to 11:00 pm.
3. Press the Min button to change the setting to any minute number between 1 and 59
4. You can make the hours and minutes move more quickly in the clock display by
holding the buttons down.
5. The clock will begin keeping time at the moment the Hour and Min buttons
are released.
