Before First Use

IMPORTANT: Please check all packaging material carefully before discarding as there may be accessory parts contained within the packaging material.

1. Wash the Carafe, Filter Basket with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

2. Replace parts onto the coffee maker and close the lid. Run a brew cycle with water only. Do not add coffee to coffee filter.
   Attention: First use may cause a slight odor or small smoking upon heating, it is normal. This is a result of the heating element chemical reaction. It quickly goes away.

3. When the brewing cycle is complete, turn your coffee maker off. Discard the water that has boiled in the decanter and once it has cooled rinse the decanter, decanter lid, and filter basket.
   Note: We recommend running your coffee maker through one full cycle to clean any dust inside the appliance.

Using Your Coffee Maker:

WARNING: Avoid contact hot parts.

• For best results, use a level tablespoon for ground coffee measurement. One comes with the appliance. Use Medium grind coffee for the perfect brew.
• Here is a small chart to help guide you for brewing:

Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart           *use more or less coffee to your liking

Water| Regular Coffee| Strong Coffee
1 cup (6 oz.)| 1 tbsp.| 2 tbsp.
4 cups| 3 tbsp.| 4 tbsp.

ADDING WATER AND GROUND COFFEE

1. Lift and open the filter basket lid. For your convenience you can lift out the removable filter basket.

2. Place a paper basket style filter or a permanent filter onto the removable filter basket.
   NOTICE: if using paper filters it is important the sides of the filter fit against the side of the filter basket.

3. Add the desired amount of coffee and gently shake to level the coffee.

4. Be sure the filter basket is properly centered and all the way down in the filter basket.

5. Fill the decanter with cold, fresh water to the desired capacity. For accurate filling the water on the water window shows the amount of water needed to make the corresponding desired number of cups.

6. Do not fill past the “Max” line or water will flow out of the decanter.

7. The amount of coffee brewed will always be slightly less than the amount of water poured in the water reservoir. This is due to the minimum absorption of water by the coffee grounds.

8. Pour the water into the water reservoir. Close the lid and place the empty decanter onto the warming plate.
   NOTICE: Make sure the decanter is fully placed on the warming plate or the water and the grounds will overflow from the filter basket. This can cause personal injury and damage to property.

BREWING

1. Make sure the decanter and filter basket are securely in place.

2. Press the power switch from “0” to “I”.

3. Your coffee maker will begin to brew coffee and when it is done will keep your coffee hot for a couple hours before automatically shutting off.

4. This coffee maker has a Pause and Serve feature that allows you to sneak a cup of coffee from the decanter. This usually allows you to remove the decanter for about 30 seconds.

5. To turn the coffee maker off push the switch back to the “O” position.

6. Make sure all contents have cooled before handling them to clean or store. Cleaning Your Coffee Maker:
