Adding Water and Ground Coffee
1. Lift and open the filter basket lid. For your convenience, you can
lift out the removable filter basket.
2. Place a 10-12 cup paper cone-style filter or a permanent filter
into the removable filter basket.
(Figure 2)
NOTE
: If using paper filters, it is important that the sides of the
filter fit flush against the side of the filter basket. If filter collapse
occurs, dampen the filter before placing in the filter basket and
adding ground coffee and water.
3. Add the desired amount of coffee and gently shake to level the
coffee. See the
Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart
.
4. Be sure the filter is properly centered and all the way down in the filter basket.
5. Fill the decanter with cold, fresh water to the desired capacity (1 cup equals 5 ounces).
For easy and accurate filling, the water markings on the glass decanter show the amount
of water needed to make the corresponding desired number of cups.
The amount of coffee brewed will always be slightly less than the amount of water poured in
the water reservoir. This is due to the minimum absorption of water by the coffee grounds.
6. Pour the water into the water reservoir. Do not fill past the “MAX line” or water will flow out
of the overfill hole in the back of the water reservoir. Close the lid and place the empty
decanter onto the warming plate.
NOTE
: Make sure the decanter is fully placed on the warming plate or the water and the
grounds will overflow from the filter basket. An overflow may cause personal injury or
damage to property.
CAUTION!
To reduce the risk of damaging the decanter and/or the risk of personal
injury, do not add cold water to the decanter if the decanter is already hot. Allow the
decanter to cool before using.

1. After completing the steps in the “
Adding Water and Coffee
” section and with the
decanter and the filter basket securely in place, turn the coffeemaker on.
For Programmable models:
Press the ON Button to begin the brewing cycle. The red
indicator light will turn on to signal that the coffeemaker is brewing. When the brewing cycle
is complete, the coffeemaker switches over to the warming mode.
Your coffeemaker will keep your coffee hot for 2 hours, then automatically shut off.
While the coffee is brewing, the Pause ’n Serve feature allows you to sneak a cup of coffee
from the decanter. REPLACE THE DECANTER ON THE WARMING PLATE WITHIN 30
SECONDS TO PREVENT OVERFLOW AND POSSIBLE INJURY.
To turn the coffeemaker off, push the OFF button.
If the brew basket overflows or fails to empty into the decanter,
do not open the brew basket. Turn off the coffeemaker. Unplug the
coffeemaker and wait for the contents to cool before handling.
2. After the used coffee grounds have cooled, carefully open the filter basket and discard them.
3. Make sure the decanter is empty before starting to brew coffee again.
4. Be sure to turn your coffeemaker off when no longer using it.
