BREWING COFFEE cont.
NOTE: To turn off the warming plate before two hours elapse, unplug the coffeemaker. However,
the clock setting will be lost. The clock will require resetting, if desired, when the coffeemaker is
plugged in again.
PAUSE AND POUR FEATURE
The pause and pour feature enables you to remove the carafe from the Coffeemaker
and pour a cup of coffee before brewing is finished. When the carafe is removed,
a special valve stops the flow of coffee from the brew basket to the carafe. Brewing,
however, does not stop. IMPORTANT: If the carafe is not replaced under the brew
basket after 20 seconds, water and coffee will overflow from the brew basket.
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.
BREWING COFFEE
1. Plug the coffeemaker into a 3-prong receptacle if it is
unplugged. When first plugged in, clock numerals will
illuminate in the display window. To set the clock time,
see the SETTING THE CLOCK section.
NOTE: The clock does not have to be set to brew coffee.
NOTE: If no coffee is brewing, the display window goes
dark after 2 minutes. To relight screen, press any control
button except Start/Stop.
2. Open the tank cover (see Fig.4).
3. Use the carafe to fill the water tank of the coffeemak-
er to the desired level with cold water, or you can
remove the tank from the base as shown in Fig. 3 (see
previous page) and fill it directly with cold water from a
faucet. There is a gauge marked from 4 to 12 cups on
both the coffeemaker water tank and the sides of the
carafe (see Fig. 5). These marks show the amount of
cold water needed for the designated number of cups.
The amount of brewed coffee will differ slightly due to
the coffee grinds absorbing some water.
4. Open the top filter cover. Place either the permanent
gold-tone filter or a size #4 cone paper filter into the
brew basket (see Fig. 6).
5. Add ground coffee. The amount of coffee you use is a
matter of personal taste (we recommend one heaping
tablespoon for every two cups). Experiment with
different amounts of ground coffee per cup until you
brew your perfect cup of coffee. You can also try using a
paper filter along with the gold-tone filter.
6. Close the top filter cover and the water tank lid. Slide
the carafe onto the warming plate.
7. The default setting of the coffee maker is regular strength. If desired, choose bold strength by
pressing the Bold button before the Start/Stop button. Press the Start/Stop button to begin
brewing. After a few seconds you will hear water flowing into the filter. When all of the water has
passed through the filter and into the carafe as brewed coffee, three beeps sound, Start/Stop
button words go out, and the coffeemaker automatically switches to warming plate mode. For
delayed brewing, see SETTING THE CLOCK, TIMER AND AUTO-BREWING.
NOTE: A blue light illuminates beneath the water tank when coffee is brewing. The light goes out
when the brew cycle is finished.
8. The warming plate will continue to warm for two hours from the time that the coffee is brewed.
If all the coffee has been poured from the carafe before two hours elapse, remove the carafe from
the warming plate. Do not allow an empty carafe to sit on the warming plate while the plate is
actively warm.
AUDIO SIGNALS
1. When the coffeemaker is first plugged in, one beep will sound.
2. When the coffeemaker has finished brewing, three beeps will sound.
3. When the two hour warming plate period has ended, five beeps will sound.
