FEATURES AND
BENEFITS
We created the Premier Series of coffeemak-
ers with you in mind. Every aspect has been
designed to be easy to use. We made a large
water window which is easily viewed from the
front of the machine, and the reservoir lid
opens to the back, providing easy access for
filling. The removable filter basket liner is
molded in black plastic to avoid unsightly
staining. We put rubber feet on the front of the
machine only, so it's easy to move around on
the countertop, yet won't slide as you set the
controls. We also reasoned that an easy-to-
hold carafe would allow you more control while
pouring, helping to avoid spills. And we placed
the carafe markings next to the handle, not on
the side of the pot, so you can easily see them
as you fill the carafe with water.
The Parts
1. Reservoir Cover
Press to open. Press to lock. A Safety Interlock
System prevents operation of the unit if the
reservoir cover is open more than one half
inch (1/2").
2. Water Window
Markings indicate water needed to make
corresponding cups of brewed coffee.
3. Brew Pause TM Feature (Not shown)
Stops flow of coffee from basket when carafe
is removed from heater plate, so a cup can
be poured in mid-brew, if desired. Since the
extraction rate varies during the brew cycle,
we recommend allowing the brewing cycle to
finish before pouring coffee.
4. Carafe
a. Taste Keeper ® Lid: Helps preserve
coffee flavor by minimizing oxygen
flow into carafe.
b. Comfort Grip Handle: Safe, controlled
pouring.
c. Brewed Coffee Markings: These are
located close to the handle for easier
viewing.
5. Coffee Temperature Monitor
Monitors brewed coffee temperature and
maintains it at the same level, even if there
is only a small amount of coffee in the carafe.
Note: temperature is adjustable.
6. Warming Plate
7. Cord Storage (Not shown)
Unused cord is easily pushed into the bottom
of coffeemaker, keeping counters neat.
8. Control Panel
9. Safety Interlock System (Not shown)
Prevents operation of the unit if the reservoir
cover is open more than 1/2 inch or the grinder
basket lid and/or filter basket cover are not in
place. An audible tone will sound continuously
until cover is closed or the missing parts are in
place and the cover is closed.
