This feature allows you to pour a cup of coffee before the entire brew cycle has completed. By removing the carafe, the flow of coffee will temporarily stop. The flow of coffee will resume when carafe is returned to the Keep-Hot Plate. Do not remove carafe more than 20 seconds or brew basket may overflow.

The permanent filter takes the place of disposable paper filters. Place the permanent filter in the brew basket with the wave section facing the rear of coffeemaker. Rinse the permanent filter in hot water before first use. Clean the permanent filter under hot running water and let dry. Permanent filter can be placed in top rack of automatic dishwasher.
