4. Remove the hopper lid and fill the hopper with coffee beans. Be
sure to have enough beans in the hopper for the ampunt of coffee
you intend to brew. The hopper should always be kept at least half
full, maximum capacity is about 1/2 lb. Do not overpack, as it could
jam the grinder. See Fig. 3.
5. Turn the Grinder Selector Knob to chose the preferred size of the
coffee grounds, corase, medium or fine. See Fig. 3a.
6. Plug in the appliance. The LCD display
window lights up and the coffeemaker will
beep for about 2 seconds to let you know
the clock is not set.
The clock does not have to be set to brew
coffee. To set the clock, see SETTING THE
CLOCK TIMER AND AUTO-BREWING.
Each time you turn the unit on, the
message: Check Basket, shows up on the LCD
display window. THis is s afreminder to see if
used grounds are still in the filter basket. To
remove the message, push the ON/OFF button.

make by pressing the 2 - 12 Cup Button. Press
button until the desired number of cups is
highlighted in LCD display window. See Fig. 4.
The coffeemaker will grind the corresponding
amount of beans. It will also automatically adjust

Strength button until the desired strength (mild,
medium, strong) is highlighted in the LCD

9. To use pre-ground coffee, push the Grind Off
button to disable the grinder feature. The Grind
Off button will stay backlit. Add ground coffee to
the paper or gold-tone filter. The amount of
coffee you use is a matter of personal taste. For
an average strong coffee, one measuring spoon
(approx. 4-5g) is sufficient per cup (150ml).
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.
1. Press the OPEN button on the right side
of the unit and swing out the Filter Basket
Door. See Fig. 2
2. Fill the water reservoir with cold water.
You ca use the coffee carafe to fill with the
amount of water you require. There is a
gauge for 2 to 12 cups (270ml to 1730ml)
on both the water reservoir window and
on the glass carafe. These markings apply
for the amount of fresh water. The amount
of brewed coffee will differ slightly, as the
coffee grinds absorb some water. Be sure
to add no more than 12 cups, or the carafe
may overflow.
3. Place the permanent gold-tone filter (or a No. 4 basket paper filter) into the filter basket. You can
use both the gold-tone filter and the paper filter together. Using the gold-tone filter alone will
allow some fine grounds to fall into the coffee carafe. This will appear as sediment in the carafe.
