3. MAKING COFFEE
(Follow the illustrations 1 to 9)
1- Place the coffee maker on a hard, flat surface.With the coffeemaker turned off, plug into a 120V outlet.
2- Fill the carafe with fresh, cold water (preferably bottled or filtered water). Open the hinged cover and
pour the water into the water tank. The number of cups is shown by the water level indicator. Do not
exceed the 12-cup level. We do not recommend making less than 4 cups
Fig. 1, 2 and 3
.
Notes:
- There is a drip hole on the back of the water tank to prevent exceeding the capacity of the coffee
maker. If you add too much water, it will leak out from the back of the unit.
- The amount of brewed coffee will be less than the water placed in the coffeemaker since about 10%
is absorbed by the coffee grounds and the filter.
3- Place the carafe with the lid on it on to the heating plate making sure it is fully seated on the heating
plate to activate the pause-n-serve mechanism.
CAUTION: To avoid filter basket overflow, the carafe must fit securely into the
coffeemaker with the lid on. If not properly positioned on the heating plate, it could
cause hot water or hot coffee to overflow.
4- With the reservoir cover in the full opened position, insert a standard #4 cone filter into the filter basket
holder, folding the seamed edges to insure a snug fit in the basket. Use a fresh filter for each carafe of
coffee
Fig. 4 and 5
.
5- Add about 2 ounces of ground coffee for 12 cups. If you prefer stronger coffee, we recommend the
European method, which produces rich, full-bodied flavor. Experiment with the amount of coffee used
in order to adjust the flavor to your taste. Do not exceed the 12 cup level

.
6- Make sure the filter basket is securely pushed down and locked in place in the filter basket holder.
7- Close the top lid making sure it is securely closed
Fig. 7
.
8- With the top lid firmly closed and the carafe securely in place, press the On button.The red On LED
will light up to indicate the brew cycle has started.
Note:
When the brewing process ends and the water level indicator is empty, there will still be hot liquid
in the filter basket.Wait a few minutes for the rest of the liquid to drip through into the carafe.
9- After coffee grounds have cooled, open the top lid and carefully remove the filter basket by grasping
the tabs on each side of the filter basket , and lifting straight up from the filter basket holder. Discard
the used coffee filter and grounds

.
CAUTION: The coffee maker becomes very hot during the brew cycle. Please handle
with extreme care.
Notes:
- The keep warm plate will operate, up to two hours, as long as the on/off button is on (red LED is lit).
- Always switch the coffeemaker to Off when the carafe is empty or you no longer want to keep coffee hot.
- If two or more pots of coffee are to be made it is recommended that the coffeemaker be allowed to cool
for 10 minutes between each brewed pot. The filter basket should also be rinsed out after each brew
cycle.
