Brewing Instructions - Farberware FCM12SS Millenium Use And Care Instructions Manual

BREWING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the Coffeemaker on a flat, level surface. Plug the unit into a
120V, AC electrical outlet.
2. Open the Lid by using the lip located on top of the Coffeemaker.
(See Figure 1.)
3. Place a #4 cone-shaped paper filter into the Removable Filter
Basket. Measure 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of drip or regular grind coffee
for each cup of coffee desired. For stronger or milder coffee, adjust
amount of coffee to suit your taste.
NOTE: We recommend using coffee ground specifically for automatic
drip coffeemakers.
4. Fill the Carafe with cold water and pour water into the Water
Chamber. Fill to the desired level using the Water Level Indicator
Window to measure. For the best tasting brewed coffee, it is
recommended that no less than 2 cups of coffee be brewed at a
time. Place the Carafe on the Warming Plate.
IMPORTANT: Always use fresh, cool water in your appliance.
Warm water or other liquids, except as listed in the Care and
Cleaning Instructions, may cause damage to the appliance.
NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee will always be less than the
amount of water placed into the Coffeemaker, since about 10% is
absorbed by the coffee grounds and filter.
5. Close the Lid.
6. You may choose to brew your coffee at a stronger brew strength.
To do so, press the BREW STRENGTH Button. A filled coffee cup
icon will appear in the Display indicating a stronger brew strength.
(See Figure 2.)
7. Press the Power Select ON/OFF Button. The Red ON Light will
illuminate and the word "ON" will appear in the upper right hand
corner, indicating that the brewing cycle has begun. Hot water will
be dispensed gently and evenly through the coffee grounds.
NOTE: If you prefer to use the Timer to preset the Coffeemaker, see
the USING THE TIMER CONTROL section of this Owner's Manual.
8. To pour a cup of coffee before the brew cycle is complete, simply
remove the Carafe from the Warming Plate and pour. Brewing will
continue but dripping will automatically pause. Return the Carafe to
the Warming Plate within 1 minute; dripping will resume.
CAUTION: To prevent injury when utilizing Pause & Pour (drip-stop)
feature, replace Carafe within 1 minute of removing during
brewing process.
9. To brew another Carafe of coffee, turn unit OFF and wait
10 minutes to allow heating element to cool.
IMPORTANT: If unit is not allowed to cool before immediate repeated
use, water placed in Water Chamber may become overheated and
a spray of steam could be released from opening, creating a risk
of burns.
