Brewing Coffee In Your Coffee Maker
CAUTION: Use this product with proper AC voltage rating
only. Be sure to unplug the power cord when Coffee Maker is
not in use for extended periods of time.
1. Lift the carafe lid. Fill the carafe with cold water to the level for
the desired number of cups (1-12).
2. Lift the hinged lid on top of the Coffee Maker and slowly pour
the water from the carafe into the water reservoir.
3. Extend the removable filter basket handle to lift the removable
filter basket straight up and out of the Coffee Maker. Insert a #4
paper coffee filter (or a permanent gold filter) inside the
removable filter basket.
4. Place coffee grounds in the filter, using one level tablespoon of
drip grind coffee for each cup of brewed coffee.
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 carafe must be cleaned.
2. Brew 12 cups of fresh water only. Follow the instructions in the
Brewing Coffee Section following, but DO NOT ADD COFFEE
GROUNDS TO THE PAPER FILTER.
3. When all the water has brewed into the carafe, switch the Coffee
Maker OFF. The 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 basket (see illustration on
page 4), carafe and carafe lid in warm, soapy water. Dry all parts
thoroughly.
Hints For Best Results
■ We recommend using coffee which has been ground specifically
for automatic drip coffee makers. This type of coffee is prepared
specifically for your Coffee Maker’s brewing system and promotes
fuller extraction to provide rich, full-bodied coffee.
■ Use only cone-shaped filters with this Coffee Maker. Cone-shaped
paper filters are available locally at grocery stores. Use standard,
#4 filters. Do not use basket-style paper filters.
■ A clean Coffee Maker is essential for making great tasting coffee.
Regular cleaning, as specified in the User Maintenance
Instructions, is highly recommended.
■ Always use fresh, cold water in your Coffee Maker.
■ Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened,
keep it tightly sealed in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
■ For optimum coffee, buy whole beans and grind them finely just
before brewing.
■ Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair
coffee flavor.
■ Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor
immediately after brewing.
