NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee after the brewing process is complete will
always be slightly less than the amount of water placed in the coffee maker’s water
reservoir, since some water is absorbed by the coffee grounds and filter. Add a
little extra water at the beginning so that you have the exact number of cups
desired.

PREPARING THE COFFEE: FIGURE 4
1. Swing the filter basket door outward to your left. Lift out removable filter
basket. The included permanent filter may be used instead of or in addition to
the paper filter. If using paper filters, insert a #4 cone-shaped filter into the filter
basket before filling with coffee. Fill the filter with the required amount of
coffee.
2. Place the desired amount of ground coffee in the filter. According to coffee
industry standards, use one standard coffee measure (2 level tablespoons) of
grounds for each six ounces of water. After using your coffee maker several
times, the amount of coffee may be adjusted to suit your particular taste by
decreasing or increasing the amount of coffee used.
NOTE: Be sure to use coffee grounds prepared specifically for use with
automatic drip coffee makers.
3. Return the filter basket with the filled filter to the door. Be sure the filter basket
is seated properly in the door. Swing the door closed and snap into place.
CAUTION: Do not operate your coffee maker if the door does not close
completely. If the door does not close completely, check to see that the filter
basket is properly sealed, and snap door into place.
4. Press the ON/OFF / TIMER button and the TIMER light will illuminate. Press the
ON/OFF / TIMER button again, and then the ON/OFF
