BEFORE USING DRIP COFFEEMAKER
Before using, cycle a carafe of cold water through coffeemaker to remove any impurities that could affect flavor. Follow guidelines for
brewing coffee, except do not add coffee to basket. After cycle, turn OFF and unplug cord from electrical outlet. Wash carafe and basket in
hot soapy water, rinse and dry. Wipe outside of base with a damp cloth and dry. Your coffeemaker is now ready to use.
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or electric shock, do not immerse coffeemaker base, its cord or plug in water or other liquid.
BREWING COFFEE
(On/Off Switch Models)
1. Use coffeemaker on dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge.
2. Place a paper filter in basket. A paper filter must be used when brewing coffee. (If coffeemaker has permanent filter, push into
bottom of basket to lock in place. Use of paper filter is optional with permanent filter, but use will aid in removal of grounds.)
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or property damage due to overflow of basket, always use a paper filter when brewing coffee and
clean basket, drain hole in bottom of the basket and pause ’n serve before each use.
CAUTION: If basket overflows, to prevent personal injury or property damage, unplug coffeemaker and allow to cool before removing
basket.
Add one level tablespoon of automatic drip or all-purpose coffee to basket for each cup being made. (When making less than 4 cups of
coffee, and add an extra tablespoon of coffee for better flavor.) Level grounds. Attach basket to coffeemaker, making sure it is secured in
place. Amount of coffee may be adjusted to suit personal taste preference.
SPECIAL NOTE ON GRINDING COFFEE BEANS
If grinding whole coffee beans, grind to medium coarseness for best results. DO NOT grind too fine (powder-like) as this can cause the
basket to flood.
3. Fill carafe with COLD water to desired cup level on carafe. Do not make less than 2 or more than the maximum (10 or 12) cups of
coffee at one time. Open reservoir cover, pour water inside; close cover. Place covered carafe on keep warm plate.
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or property damage, always keep cover on carafe while brewing; cover opens pause and serve lever
