Preparing Coffee Maker For Brewing Coffee - DeLonghi DC 77 TC Owner's Manual

FEATURES
Pause & Serve
Allows you to interrupt the brewing cycle and pour a cup of coffee before
the entire carafe is finished brewing. To restart the brewing process,
return carafe to carafe plate and coffee will automatically begin flowing
through filter basket. Make sure carafe is placed all way on the carafe
plate.
CAUTION: DO NOT REMOVE CARAFE FOR LONGER THAN 30
SECONDS OR THE FILTER BASKET MAY OVERFLOW.
Water Window
Large easy-to-read numbers indicate how many cups of water have been
poured into the coffee maker.
On Light
On Light lets you know when the coffee maker is on for safe operation.
Cord Storage
Hidden cord storage allows you to hide excess cord for neat appearance.
Swing Away Basket
Filter door swings open for convenient filling with the push of a button.
Black Lined Cone Filter Basket
Cone shaped filter basket enriches flavor and prevents bitter taste. This
coffee maker includes a permanent nylon filter. Alternatively, a standard
#4 cone shaped paper filter can be used.
Thermal carafe
There are three lid positions on the thermal carafe. You will see the
markings on the edge of the lid.
1. For brewing, the arrow should point to the "closed" position. Even after
brewing in finished, it is recommended that you keep the lid in the closed
position to retain heat of the coffee.
2. When the arrow points toward the center of the spout, the lid is in
pouring position.
3. To remove the lid, move the arrow towards the "unscrew" position.
HOW TO USE YOUR COFFEE MAKER
PREPARING YOUR COFFEE MAKER FOR USE
Carefully unpack the coffee maker and remove all packaging materials.
Before making coffee in your coffee maker, thoroughly clean the carafe,
carafe lid and filter basket with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Do not
use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
You may wipe the carafe plate with a clean, damp cloth. However, do not
immerse the coffee maker in water or other liquid.
Prior to brewing your first pot of coffee, operate coffee maker once or
twice with water but without ground coffee or a paper filter. This will
remove any dust that may have settled inside the coffee maker, which
might affect the flavor of coffee.
IMPORTANT: Use cold water for best results.

PREPARING COFFEE MAKER FOR BREWING COFFEE

Place your coffee maker on a flat, level surface away from any edge.
Plug the unit into a 120 volt 60 Hz AC only outlet.
The lid of the carafe must be fitted properly during the brewing process
