OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO USE THE PAUSE AND SERVE FUNCTION The pause and serve function interrupts coffee flow to let you pour a cup before brewing has finished. To pause the flow, simply remove the carafe from the heating plate any time during brewing. When returning the carafe, be sure to reposition it firmly against the back of the coffee maker for the flow to continue.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Allow the coffee maker to cool completely before cleaning. Lift the brewing chamber cover and shower head. Life the filter holder out by grabbing its two handles and lifting straight up. Remove and discard the used coffee grinds and paper filter, if using. Wash carafe/carafe lid, reusable filter, scoop, and filter holder in hot, sudsy water, or place in top rack of the dishwasher.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE HOW TO DECALCIFY YOUR COFFE MAKER Calcium build-up frequently occurs in drip coffee makers. This build-up is normal and is caused by minerals commonly found in drinking water. We recommend decalcifying your coffee maker four times a year, and more often as needed.
COFFEE MAKING TIPS For best results, use a medium-fine grind of coffee—too fine can clog the coffee filter—and don’t make less than four cups. For best flavor, consider using bottled or filtered water. Experiment with the amount of ground coffee used and adjust the amount to suit your taste.
