Hints For Best Results

• For optimal holding temperature, rinse the inside of thermal
carafe with warm water before brewing; empty and screw lid
to closed position. Place carafe securely onto coffeemaker.
• To serve, press down on black button and pour.
• We recommend using coffee which has been ground
specifically for automatic drip coffee makers. This type of coffee
is prepared specifically for your Coffee Maker's brewing system
and promotes fuller extraction to provide rich, full-bodied coffee.
• Use only cone-shaped filters with this Coffee Maker.
Cone-shaped paper filters are available locally at grocery stores.
Use standard #4 filters. Do not use basket-style paper filters.
