OPERATION
easy measuring marks on carafe to ensure correct amount of water. Open
top lid and pour water into water reservoir.
NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee will always be less than the amount of
water placed into water reservoir; coffee grounds and the fi lter will absorb ap-
proximately 10% of the water.
4. With the lid still open, turn shower head to the back and remove the fi lter
basket. Place fi lter in the fi lter basket. (Use quality disposable 8-12 cup fi l-
ters or use reusable nylon fi lter provided.) Measure one tablespoon (level) of
drip or regular grind coffee for each cup of coffee desired and place in fi lter.
Be careful not to get any grounds on the fi lter basket.
5. Return fi lter basket to the unit. Make sure fi lter basket tab fi ts into slot on
fi lter basket holder. Move the shower head toward front over the fi lter basket
until shower head clicks into place. Close top lid of coffeemaker. Do not
open lid during brewing cycle; leaving lid down preserves the coffee’s fl avor
and heat and prevents steam burns.
6. Replace glass carafe on warming plate.
7. Press the switch to “ON”. A BLUE light will illuminate during operation.
8. Upon completion of brew cycle, wait 1 minute before removing carafe from
the unit to allow any remaining liquid to seep through.
9. Remove carafe and pour desired amount into cup(s). To keep coffee warm,
place the carafe back on the warming plate of coffeemaker.
WARNING: With the carafe off the unit, the warming plate is exposed and
HOT. Do not touch.
10. Wait 10 minutes before brewing a second pot of coffee. Turn unit off by
pressing switch to “OFF”; the BLUE light will turn off.
11. This unit does not turn off automatically. Switch power to “OFF” when
carafe is empty or when the unit is not in use. Unplug from wall outlet.
Tips for general operation
• To use Pause & Serve feature, remove carafe during brewing cycle and pour
a cup of coffee. Replace carafe on warming plate within 30 seconds to avoid
overflow or possible injury.
• For best results, always clean unit after every use and use fresh, cold water
when brewing.
• Finer grinds will produce a fuller extraction and provide a richer, full-bodied
coffee. Regular grinds will need more coffee per cup to produce the same
coffee strength of a finer grind.
• For stronger coffee, use more grounds; for weaker coffee, use less grounds.
• Grinding whole beans immediately before use will produce optimum coffee
flavor.
