Your Fast Brew
™
Coffee Maker has a 10-cup capacity. A 5-ounce
cup is the American industry standard and is used by most coffee
maker manufacturers. Your favorite mug will accommodate about
2 cups (or 10 oz.) of coffee. We do not recommend preparing less
than 4 cups (or 20 oz.) of coffee.
Brewing
1. Plug into a 120V ~ 60Hz outlet.
2. Make sure the appliance is off; the indicator light will be dark.
3. On the side of the appliance, a water level window indicates
the level of water required to brew the desired number of cups.
Remove the snap-on lid of the carafe by gently pulling up. Fill
the carafe with cold, fresh tap water. Snap the lid back into
position.
NOTE: Brewing less than 4 cups is not recommended.
4. Raise the hinged lid located on top of the appliance. Slowly
pour water into the water chamber.
5. Insert a Melitta
®
#4 Cone Paper Filter into the removable filter
holder and add coffee grounds. Use approximately
1 measuring spoon of grounds for every (5 oz.) cup of coffee.
Press down lightly on filter holder to be sure it is properly
seated.
6. Close lid and adjust the brew strength selector for your coffee
preference. To ensure optimum flavor, the brew strength
selector regulates the brewing process based upon the flow of
the water into the filter holder. For stronger coffee, turn the
selector to the left. For weaker coffee position to the right, and
for medium strength coffee position the dial midway between
strong and light.
7. Make sure that the carafe with lid is properly situated on the
warming plate. Press the power button in to turn power on.
The indicator light will glow.
8. The pause and pour function allows you to serve a cup of
coffee before the brew cycle is complete. Simply remove
carafe from warming plate and dripping will automatically
cease. Return carafe to position on warming plate within
20 seconds; dripping will resume. If the carafe is not returned
to the warming plate, the coffee may overflow from the filter
holder.
