SET UP & USE
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place your coffee maker on a flat,
level surface, such as a countertop.
Plug the unit into a 120 volt 60 Hz
AC-only outlet.
2. 2. Swing open the filter basket.
Insert a cone shape No. 2 filter into
the removable filter basket. Place
the desired amount of ground coffee
into the paper filter. See the chart
below to determine the amount of
coffee to use. Your coffee maker
includes a bonus permanent coffee
filter. You can use this filter just as
you would in place of a paper filter.
To clean, rinse under warm water.
NOTE:
· The swing-out filter basket and paper
filter must be inserted correctly so
that the filter basket closes properly.
Ensure that the filter basket is fully
closed prior to starting the brew
cycle.
· We recommend using coffee ground
specifically for automatic drip coffee
makers. After using your drip coffee
maker a few times you may adjust
the amount to suit your own taste.
USING YOUR
COFFEE MAKER
PAUSE AND POUR
FEATURE
Your coffee maker has been designed
with a pause and pour feature. If you
wish, at any time during the brewing
cycle, you may temporarily remove the
glass carafe from the unit and pour a
cup of hot coffee. The brewing cycle will
be interrupted and no coffee will drip
from the filter basket. Simply replacing
the carafe on the warming plate will
restart the brewing process.
NOTE:
· Do not remove the carafe for longer
than 30 seconds.

3. Fill the glass carafe with cold water
up to the marked level for desired
amount of coffee.
NOTE:
· Use only cold water. The automatic
brewing system has been designed
to work only with cold water.Ensure
that the filter basket is fully closed
prior to starting the brew cycle.
4. Empty the water from the carafe
into the water reservoir. Close the
hinged lid. Place the glass carafe
with the lid in place on the warming
plate.
5. Press the power switch button to
“ON” ( I ). The “ON” ( I ) light will
illuminate, indicating that your
coffee maker has begun the brewing
cycle. In a few minutes, your coffee
maker will be finished brewing fresh
coffee.
6. Once the brewing cycle has
completed, please ensure you
manually turn the coffee maker to
the “OFF” ( 0 ) position. This unit
is not equipped with an automatic
shut-off feature, so you will need to
manually turn the unit “OFF”.
NOTE:
· Never leave an empty carafe on the
warming plate while still hot.
CLEANING AND CARE
Calcium build-up frequently occurs
in drip coffee makers. This build-up is
quite normal and is caused by minerals
commonly found in drinking water.
Periodically, your drip coffee maker will
need cleaning to remove any calcium or
mineral deposits that may form. You will
know when your coffee maker requires
decalcifying when you notice an obvious
slow down in brewing time.
We recommend decalcifying your drip
coffee maker with a solution of white
vinegar and cold water. A solution of
two tablespoons white vinegar in one
carafe of cold water works best.
Pour the solution into the water
reservoir, then close the hinged lid
and put the empty carafe into place.
Switch the coffee maker on, and allow
the coffee maker to “brew” the vinegar
solution.
When the vinegar solution has finished
brewing, empty the carafe and rinse it
out with clean water. Refill the water
reservoir with cold water only, and run
another “brew” cycle. This will rinse
out any remaining vinegar solution. If
necessary, a second “brew” of water can
be performed.
We strongly recommend decalcifying
your drip coffee maker any time the
brewing time slows down or when you
begin to notice excessive steaming. The
frequency of decalcifying will depend on
the hardness of your water.
Suggested:
Soft Water - 80 Brew Cycles
Hard Water - 40 Brew Cycles
DECALCIFYING
Other than the care and cleaning
procedures mentioned in this manual,
no other servicing or maintenance of
this unit is necessary.
Wash the carafe and carafe lid with
warm, soapy water or place in top rack
of the dishwasher.
To remove the filter basket, simply
swing out the filter basket and lift up.
You can remove the filter basket to
discard your used coffee grounds.
Wash the filter basket with warm, soapy
water.
The heating stand may be wiped with a
clean, damp cloth when necessary.
Do not try to clean the inside of the
water reservoir with a cloth because
this will leave a residue of lint and may
clog your drip coffee maker. Just rinse
with cold water periodically.
NOTE:
· Be sure to unplug the coffee maker
before cleaning. To protect against
electric shock, do not immerse cord,
plug or coffee maker in water or
other liquid.
