How to Use
This appliance is intended for household use only.
Getting Started
1. Remove all stickers, packing material, and literature.
2. Wash all parts as instructed in the Care and Cleaning section.
3. Pour water up to 12-cup level mark in the water reservoir.
Brew it through as instructed in "BREWING", but do not add coffee grounds to the permanent
filter. When done, turn off the coffeemaker and discard the water from the carafe.
BREWING
1. Lift one piece water reservoir and brew basket lid. Use water markings on carafe to fill
water reservoir with water.
2. Place the permanent gold-tone filter into the brew basket. Add ground coffee, (we
recommend a heaping tablespoon for every cup). Close the cover. Make sure permanent
gold-tone filter is secured in place.
3. Place carafe on the "Keep Hot" plate and plug in the unit.
4. Press "ON/OFF" and the indicator light located on the right corner of the control panel will
turn on. For delayed brewing, see "SETTING THE CLOCK/TIMER & AUTO-BREW". You
don’t have to set the clock if you want to brew coffee right away.
5. Replace the carafe on the "Keep Hot" plate when not serving to keep coffee hot.
6. Press "ON/OFF" to turn off unit.
The coffeemaker will keep coffee warm for 2 hours before it automatically shuts off.
Sneak-A-Cup® Interrupt Feature
You can pour a cup of coffee while coffee is brewing without leaking from the brew basket.
When finished pouring coffee, place the carafe under brew basket. The brewing process
continues.
Important:
To avoid possible overflow after removing the carafe, be sure to replace the carafe
under the brew basket within 30 seconds or less.
SETTING THE CLOCK/TIMER & AUTO-BREW
Plug in unit, clock flashes 12:00 a.m. until correct time is set. The coffeemaker works without
setting the clock.
1. To set current time of day: Press the HOUR button, little dot in the top left corner of the
display indicates "p.m." time. Press the MIN button. Once set, clock continues to keep
time unless coffeemaker is unplugged or a power failure occurs. To reset, press either the
hour or minutes until desired time is reached.
2. To set the Auto Brew time: Press the PROG button and the light in the upper right corner
of the display button starts flashing, indicating it is being programmed. Press the HOUR,
then MIN buttons to set the time you’d like coffee to automatically begin brewing (for
example 7:15 a.m.). Watch for the "p.m." indicator dot at the top left of the digital display.
When finished, press the AUTO button. The AUTO light will stop flashing and will stay on
to show the timer is activated.
3. Prepare the coffeemaker for brewing as instructed in "BREWING" but don’t turn
on the unit.
4. To check your pre-set auto time, press PROG and it will display. When the clock returns
to the current time of day, press AUTO to reactivate the timer. To automatically brew
coffee again at the same pre-set auto-on time, prepare coffeemaker for brewing again
and press the AUTO button.

The Auto Brew function can be canceled at any time by pressing the AUTO button
