FEATURES
z
Pause & Serve: Allows you to interrupt the brewing cycle and pour a cup of
coffee before the entire brewing cycle is completed.
CAUTION:
While this will temporarily stop the coffee from dripping into the Glass
Carafe, it does not stop the brewing cycle. After serving, the Glass Carafe
should be immediately returned to the Warming Plate to prevent the Filter
Basket from overflowing. Do not remove the Carafe for more than 30
seconds as the Filter Basket may overflow.
CAUTION:
If the Carafe is not fully seated on the Warming Plate, the Pause & Serve
feature will not function properly. This could cause hot water or hot coffee
to overflow.
When the Carafe is securely in place, it engages a lever which allows the
coffee to drip. Please make sure that the Glass Carafe is securely in
place and positioned firmly on the Warming Plate.
z
2 Hour Automatic Shut-Off: For safety, this Coffeemaker has been designed
with an auto shut-off feature. In both regular and auto-start modes, the
Coffeemaker shuts off automatically 2 hours after the brewing cycle is
completed.
z
On Light: The “ON” light lets you know when the Coffeemaker is on for safe
operation (will be illuminated green). Press the Start/Stop button twice for the
brew cycle to begin.
z
Programmable Timer Light: The “AUTO” light lets you know when the
Coffeemaker is set to start brewing at the programmed time (will be illuminated
red). Press the Start/Stop button once to initiate the Programmable Timer.
The light will illuminate red (See the SETTING YOUR CLOCK AND USING THE
PROGRAMMABLE TIMER section).

z
Cord Storage: Hidden cord storage allows you to hide excess cord for a neat
appearance.
z
Flip Top Open Filter Basket Holder: Allows easy access to the Removable
Filter Basket.
CAUTION:
ALWAYS TURN OFF THE UNIT AND WAIT AT LEAST 30 MINUTES AFTER THE
BREWING CYCLE IS COMPLETED BEFORE OPENING THE FILTER BASKET LID.
IF YOU DO NOT, SOME STEAM MAY BE RELEASED FROM THE SHOWER HEAD
WHEN YOU OPEN THE FILTER BASKET LID. THIS COULD CAUSE INJURY TO
THE USER.
z
Removable Cone Shape Filter Basket: Cone shaped Filter Basket enriches
flavor. We recommend using a Gevalia No. 4 cone shaped paper filter.
z
Shower Head Spout: This allows the hot water to be evenly dispersed across
the cone shaped filter thereby allowing the maximum flavor extraction.
z
Programmable Clock: Allows you to program your Coffeemaker 24 hours in
advance with a built in digital timer/clock.
z
Heat Resistant Glass Carafe: The Glass Carafe is made of heat resistant glass
to allow the coffee to stay hot for a prolonged period of time.
NOTE: Please remember that the liquid inside the Glass Carafe is HOT. Please
be careful when pouring.
HOW TO USE YOUR COFFEEMAKER
PREPARING YOUR COFFEEMAKER FOR USE:
z
Carefully unpack the Coffeemaker and remove all packing materials.
z
Before making coffee in your Coffeemaker, thoroughly clean your Glass Carafe,
Carafe Lid and Removable Filter Basket with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
z
You may wipe the Warming Plate with a clean damp cloth, however, do not
immerse the Coffeemaker in water or other liquids.
Note: Prior to brewing your first pot of Gevalia coffee, we recommend that you run one
brew cycle through the Coffeemaker using cold water only, without ground coffee or a
paper filter. This will remove any dust that may have settled inside the Coffeemaker.
IMPORTANT:
Use only cold filtered or bottled water for best results.
