OPERATING YOUR COFFEE MAKER
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:
7.
The included permanent platinum filters may be used instead of paper filters. If
using paper filters, insert a #4 cone-shaped filter into the filter basket before
filling with coffee grounds. Place the filter (permanent or paper) into the
removable filter basket. Place the desired amount of coffee grounds into the
filter. If you are using the left side of the coffee maker, place the filter in the
corresponding left-hand side filter basket. If you are using the right side of the
coffee maker, place the filter in the corresponding right-hand side filter basket.
NOTE: We recommend using coffee grounds specifically for automatic drip
coffee makers. We suggest one tablespoon of ground coffee for each cup of
coffee being brewed. After using your drip coffee maker a few times you may
adjust the amount to suit your own taste.
8.
Return the filter baskets with the coffee-filled filters to the filter basket holders.
Be sure that the filter basket is seated properly in the filter basket holder.
9.
Close the hinged water reservoir cover. Place the carafes with the lids in
place on the non-stick plates.
