as set forth below.
Priming your Brewer
1. Unwrap cord and plug the brewer into a
grounded outlet.
2. Place a cup or mug on the Drip Tray Plate.
3. Remove the Water Reservoir from Brewer by
first removing Lid from Reservoir, then lifting
Reservoir straight up and away from Brewer
(may be tight). Rinse with fresh water.
4. Fill Water Reservoir with fresh water so
that the water level reaches the top edge
of the clear viewing area. (Be careful not to
over fill.)
5. Place Water Reservoir base into the left
side of the Brewer and be sure the
Water Reservoir Lock Tabs engage
with the Brewer. Replace Lid on Water
Reservoir.
6. Press Power Button found on upper right
panel of the Brewer. The green light surround-
ing the Power Button will become illuminated.
7. The LCD Control Center will come on and
indicate 'PRIME' and the icon for the Large

6
LCD Control Center, be sure the handle is all
the way down. Please note, a K-Cup should
not be used for the Priming Sequence.

water between brews and then 'READY' will
again be displayed.
