OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Brewing Coffee
1. Lift the Water Reservoir by its handle up from the Coffee Maker and
fill the Water Reservoir with cold water to the level for the desired
number of (5-oz.) cups (1-5).
2. Replace Water Reservoir in its original position on the back of the
Coffee maker by sliding it down and making sure it locks into place.
3. Pull the Filter Release Tab out and away from the unit to swing out
the Filter Holder Cavity. Grasp the Removable Filter Holder and lift
straight up and out of the Filter Cavity. Insert a #2 paper coffee filter
inside the Removable Filter Holder.
We recommend using Melitta #2 cone-shaped filters.
4. Place coffee grounds in the filter, using one level tablespoon of drip
grind coffee for each cup of brewed coffee.
5. Replace the Removable Filter Holder by pushing it down into the
Filter Holder Cavity. When properly seated, it will snap securely into
place. Swing Filter Holder Cavity back into place until the Filter
Holder release Tab snaps into place.
6. When you replace the Carafe onto the Warming Plate, the Carafe
will snap easily into position under the Auto Pause and Pour assem-
bly.
7. Plug the appliance into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet.
8. Slide the Power Switch to the ON position. The Indicator Light will
glow Red as the Coffee Maker begins brewing the coffee.
9. When brewing is completed, the Coffee Maker switches to a Keep
Warm mode which will hold coffee at the proper serving tempera-
ture. To keep the coffee hot, place the Carafe back on the Warming
Plate when not serving.
10. When finished using the unit press the Power Switch to OFF position
and unplug from electrical outlet.
WARNING: Warming Plate is hot! Do not touch bottom of Carafe or
Warming Plate during or after brewing.
NOTE:
The amount of coffee in the Carafe may be slightly less than the
amount of water placed in the Water Reservoir, since some of the water
is absorbed by the coffee grounds.

Before Brewing Coffee for the First Time:
CAUTION: To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the
Coffee Maker or allow AC cord to come into contact with water or
other liquids.
1. After carefully unpacking from carton, the inside of your Coffee
Maker and Glass Carafe must be cleaned. Remove any labels from
the outer surfaces.
2. Brew 5 (5-oz.) cups of fresh water only. Follow the OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS, but do not add coffee grounds to the filter.
3. When all the water has brewed into the Carafe, switch the Coffee
Maker OFF. The ON Light will turn off.
4. Allow the Coffee Maker to cool for 15 minutes, discard the water
from the Carafe, then repeat steps 2 and 3.
5. After the second pot of water has cooled, discard the water and
thoroughly wash the Removable Filter Holder, Glass Carafe and
Carafe Lid in warm, soapy water. Dry all parts thoroughly.
Coffee Filters
Cone-shaped paper filters are available locally at grocery stores and
where coffeemakers are sold.
We recommend using Melitta #2 cone-shaped filters.
The use of basket-style paper filters is not recommended, since they do
not conform to the shape of the Removable Filter Holder and may cause
coffee to back up and spill over during brewing.
