flow out of the overfill hole in the back of the
coffeemaker.
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.
7. Lift the pour through reservoir lid and pour the
water into the water reservoir. Close the lid and
place the empty decanter onto the warmer 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.
