How to Make Coffee

To avoid hot coffee overflowing from the filter basket:

When using decaffeinated coffee, do not exceed the coffee manufacturer's recommended serving amount.
Press firmly on lid to ensure lid is completely closed. If filter basket overflow occurs, unplug Coffeemaker and allow coffee in filter basket to cool before removing filter basket.

Before first use: Wash all removable parts in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Brew one cycle with water and discard water.

Place Filter Basket in Filter Basket Well. Insert thumb handle in the right opening. Ensure Filter Basket is fully seated.
Place a 1–4 cup cupcake-style paper filter in Filter Basket.
For each cup of coffee being made, place one level tablespoon of coffee into filter.
Fill Carafe with the desired amount of cold tap water.
Lift Lid and pour water from Carafe into Water Reservoir.
NOTE: Do not fill past 4-cup mark (20 ounces) for glass Carafe.
Place Carafe, with Carafe Lid attached, on Keep-Warm Plate.
Close Lid. Press firmly on Lid to ensure that it is completely closed.
Turn Power Switch to ON (I). A lighted switch indicates Coffeemaker is on.
Turn Power Switch to OFF () and unplug when finished.

Pause 'N Serve

Return carafe to base within 20 seconds. Hot water continues to flow into filter basket when this feature is used. Overflowing coffee and hot water are a burn hazard.

This feature allows you to pour a cup of coffee before the entire brew cycle has completed. By removing the Carafe, the flow of coffee will temporarily stop. The flow of coffee will resume when Carafe is returned to the Base.

Carafe Safety Tips

warning This symbol alerts you to the potential danger of personal injury if you fail to read and follow these safety precautions.

This symbol reminds you that glass is fragile and can break, which could result in personal injury.

Do not use a cracked Carafe or a Carafe having a loose or weakened handle.
This Carafe is designed to be used only on the Keep-Warm Plate of your Coffeemaker. Do not use on a gas or electric rangetop, or in a microwave or conventional oven.
To avoid breakage, handle Carafe with care. Avoid impact. Glass will break as a result of impact. Use care when filling with water to avoid hitting faucet.
Do not place hot Carafe on cool or wet surface. Allow to cool before washing or adding liquids.
Do not set empty Carafe on a hot heating surface.
Do not clean with steel wool pads, abrasive cleanser, or any other materials that may scratch.
Do not place hands inside Carafe. When handling, be careful if wearing any hand jewelry, especially diamond rings. Jewelry can scratch the glass, which increases possibility of breakage.
Do not bump, scratch, or boil dry.
Discard Carafe if it is cracked, scratched, or heated while empty for an extended period of time.
To avoid accidents, do not pour in the direction of people.
If stirring in the Carafe, use only wooden, plastic, or rubber utensils. Do not use metal utensils.
Follow the above safety precautions carefully to avoid serious burn injuries which may result if breakage occurs while Carafe holds heated liquids.
