PREPARING FOR USE

Selecting and Measuring Ground Coffee
For best results, use a level tablespoon for ground coffee measurement.
Make sure you use medium grind coffee for a perfect brew.
A. Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart
To Brew
10 Cups
8 Cups
6 Cups
4 Cups
1 level tablespoon (tbsp) = 5 gr./0.17 oz.
1 cup = 5 fl. oz. of brewed coffee
Use more or less coffee to suit your taste.
C. Adding Water and Ground Coffee
1. Open the brew basket drawer (Figure 4).
2. Place a 10–12 cup paper basket-style filter or a permanent
filter into the removable filter basket.
NOTE: If using paper filters, it is important that the sides of the
filter fit flush against the side of the filter basket. If filter collapse
occurs, dampen the filter before placing in the filter basket and
adding ground coffee and water.
3. Add the desired amount of coffee and gently shake to level the
coffee. See the Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart (Figure
5).
4. Slide the brew basket back into place (Figure 6).
5. Fill the removable water reservoir with cold, fresh water to
the desired capacity (1 cup equals 5 ounces) For easy and
accurate filling, the water markings on the removable water
reservoir shows the amount of water needed to make the
corresponding desired number of cups. Do not fill past the "10
cup MAX line" or water will flow out of the coffeemaker.
NOTE: The amount of coffee brewed will always be slightly less
than the amount of water poured in the water reservoir. This is
due to the minimum absorption of water by the coffee grounds.
NOTE: If the decanter is not in place then the coffeemaker will
not brew. The BREW NOW LED will flash to signal that
there is an error.
CAUTION:
Do not place the decanter in the dishwasher.
