Our Brewing Pause ‘n Serve feature allows you up to 30 seconds to pour a cup of cof

fee while the

coffeemaker is still brewing. It also prevents any remaining cof

fee in the filter basket from dripping

onto the warming plate once the brew cycle is complete.

WARNING:

To prevent injur

flow , replace decanter within 

30 seconds if removed during brewing. If the decanter is not

replaced within 30 seconds, the filter basket will fill with water 

and overflow

Your cof

feemaker must be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive steaming or the brewing

time increases considerably. This condition is caused by a build-up of lime and mineral deposits

from your water. If the pumping action stops before all the water has been pumped out of the

machine, the appliance requires cleaning.

The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of water used. The following table gives a

suggested cleaning schedule.
