FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR
Open the hinged water reservoir cover located at
the top of the coffee maker. Fill the glass carafe
with the desired amount of cold water. Empty the
water from the carafe into the water reservoir.
POUR SLOWLY WHEN CARAFE IS FULL.
Close the hinged lid. Place the glass carafe
with the lid in place on the warming plate.
NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee after the
brewing process will always be slightly less than
the amount of water placed into the coffee maker,
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.
PUTTING IN THE COFFEE
Swing the filter basket door outward to your right.
Insert a standard flat paper filter into the filter basket.
Place the desired amount of ground coffee into the
filter. Use 1 tablespoon of grounds per cup (5 oz.)
of water. One coffee scoop equals 2 tablespoons.
After using your coffee maker several times,
the amount of coffee may be adjusted to suit
Off
your particular taste, by decreasing or increasing
the amount of coffee used. Be sure to use coffee
grounds prepared specifically for automatic
drip coffee makers.
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.
Select the desired strength of coffee from mild to
strong by turning the CustomBlend
the top of the unit.
TURNING UNIT ON
Turn switch "ON" to start the brew cycle. "ON" Light
will go on, indicating that the coffee maker has begun
the brewing cycle. In a few minutes the coffee maker
will complete the brewing cycle and switch over to
the warming mode.
The clock must be set before the unit is operational.
On models with the Auto-off feature, the unit will turn
itself off after 2 hours. To continue heating the coffee
simply turn the unit "OFF" and back "ON" again for
another 2 hours of heating.
Turn switch to "OFF" when the carafe is empty
or when the coffee maker is not in use.
