Coffee Filters
Cone-shaped paper filters are available locally at grocery stores and
where coffee makers are sold. Standard #2 filters should be used.
The use of basket-style paper filters is not recommended, since they
do not conform to the shape of the Filter Basket and may cause coffee
to back up and spill over during brewing.
Before You Use Your Coffee Maker
Before preparing coffee in your new Coffee Maker, thoroughly clean
the Carafe, Carafe Lid and Removable Cone Filter Basket in hot, sudsy
water. Rinse and dry. Replace disassembled parts. Clean the inside
of the Coffee Maker by brewing two full Carafes of tap water (see
“Brewing Instructions” below).
NOTE: At the end of first cycle, turn Coffee Maker off and wait ten
minutes. Turn unit on and brew second Carafe of water.
Brewing Instructions
1. Plug Coffee Maker into any 120 V AC electrical outlet.
2. Fill Carafe with cold tap water and pour into Water Chamber.
Markings on the Carafe indicate level of water required to brew
desired number of cups. No less than two cups is recommended.
NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee will always be less than the
amount of water placed into Coffee Maker, since about 10% is
absorbed by coffee grounds and paper filter.
3. Place a #2 paper cone-shaped filter in Removable Cone Filter
Basket. Replace Removable Cone Filter Basket in the Swing-Out
Filter Holder. Measure one level tablespoon of drip or regular
grind coffee for each cup of coffee desired. For stronger or milder
coffee, adjust amount of coffee to suit your taste.
4. Return Swing-Out Filter Holder to the closed position.
5. Place Carafe on Warming Plate.
6. Switch Power Select Button to ON (I).
