of water through the pour-in grid into basin.
4) (AKH warmer model), Turn lower warmer/brew switch to the ON or BREW position to start brew cycle.
NOTE: Float assembly will prevent heat pump from activating if water is not present in the basin. This first pot will
be a few ounces short due to some water retention in the system.

COFFEE PREPARATION PROCEDURES
1) Place the filter into brew basket.
2) Place the appropriate amount of ground coffee into the filter for the volume of coffee to be brewed.
3) Slide the brew basket into holder.
4) For warmer units:
Place empty decanter on warmer located directly under the brew basket
Turn corresponding warmer switch to ON position.
For airpots or other dispensers
Remove any non brew thru lids or pump stems
Place airpot under brew basket.
5) Raise the top evaporation cover and pour ONE decanter(warmer model) or pitcher(therm model) of COLD water

NOTE: Never pour hot water into the brewer. This brewer features a European style brewing system which heats
only the water for coffee when you pour it into the brewer. This type of system does not have a tank to store hot
water. Do not overfill unit by pouring in more than one decanter of water at a time.
6) Hot water will be delivered through the sprayhead. This distributes the hot water evenly over the coffee bed within
the brew basket. The coffee brew will drain from the brew basket into the decanter below.
7) The unique thermal brew system takes a little longer to brew than tank systems, which allow the stored water to
become stale, but the result is better tasting and hotter coffee.
