Brewing Instructions
1. Place the Thermal Coffeemaker on a flat, level surface. Plug
the unit into a 120V, AC electrical outlet.
2. Press the Filter Lid Release Button to open the Hinged Filter Lid.
3. Place a #4 cone-shaped paper filter into the Removable Fil-
ter Basket. 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.
Note: We recommend using coffee ground specifically for
automatic drip coffeemakers.
4. Close the Hinged Filter Lid.
5. Raise the Water Reservoir Cover. Fill the Thermal Carafe with
cold water and pour it into the Water Reservoir to the desired
level. No less than two cups are recommended.
Important: Always use fresh, cool water in your appliance.
Warm water or other liquids, except as listed in the Care and
Cleaning Instructions, may cause damage to the appliance.
Note: The amount of brewed coffee will always be less than the
amount of water placed into the coffeemaker, since about 10%
is absorbed by the coffee grounds and filter.
6. For optimal thermal retention, preheat the Thermal Carafe by
rinsing it with hot water. PLACE THE CARAFE LID ON THE
CARAFE AND TURN CLOCKWISE UNTIL THE ARROWS
ARE ALIGNED. COFFEE WILL NOT FLOW IN CORRECTLY
IF MISALIGNED. Place the Carafe on the Base Plate.
7. In order to turn unit on, press the ON/OFF Switch to ON. The
pilot light will glow to show the unit is operating. Hot water will
be dispensed gently and evenly through the coffee grounds.
When all the water has been pumped out of the Water Reser-
voir the coffeemaker will switch off automatically.
8. To pour a cup of coffee before the brew cycle is complete,
simply remove the Thermal Carafe from the Base Plate and
pour. Brewing will continue but dripping will automatically
pause. Return the Thermal Carafe to the Base Plate within 20
seconds; dripping will resume.
CAUTION: To prevent injury when utilizing Pause and Pour
(drip-stop) feature, replace Carafe within 20 seconds of remov-
ing during brewing process.
