If you open the cover during the grinding process,
the carafe indicator will flash, the grinder will stop
grinding and, if brewing, the brewing will stop.
Once the missing parts are in place and the cover
is closed, the carafe indicator will turn off. The
brewing process can be restarted by pressing the
BREW/OFF/AUTO OFF Button. Restarting the
process will not affect coffee results. If you do not
want the grinder to come on again, press the
Grind Off button before pressing the Brew button.

Brewing coffee
Press the Carafe button to enter the carafe brew
mode. Press the BREW/OFF/AUTO OFF Button to
begin brewing. The white indicator light will illumi-
nate and flash slowly. Or, set the Auto On function
(see page 9) and the Auto On indicator will light.
8.
After brewing
When the brewing cycle is complete, coffee will
continue to stream from the filter for several
seconds. When streaming completely stops,
five beeps will sound and you can now enjoy
your coffee.
NOTE: Reservoir cover may be hot during and
directly after brewing. Wait at least 10 minutes
before opening.
MAKING COFFEE WITH
PRE-GROUND BEANS
1.
Fill the Reservoir and Insert Filter
See steps #1 and #2 in "Making Coffee with Whole
Beans," page 9.
2.
Add Pre-Ground Coffee
Press the filter basket door release button to open
door and place either a paper filter OR the per-
manent filter in the basket. Add ground coffee the
close filter door. Our recipe suggestion: Use 1 level
scoop (1 tablespoon) of ground coffee per cup.
Adjust the recipe according to taste.
NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground coffee
is 16 level scoops (16 tablespoons), using either a
paper or permanent filter. Exceeding that amount
may cause overflow if the coffee is too finely
ground.
3.
Press the Grind Off Button
When this function is activated, the white
LED will come on.
BREW PAUSE
This feature interrupts the flow of coffee from the
basket to let you pour that first cup mid-brew.
Because the flavor profile of coffee brewed at the
start of a cycle differs from that brewed toward the
end, be aware that using this feature will weaken the
flavor strength of the finished pot.
NOTE: Removing carafe for more than 20 seconds
may cause filter basket to overflow.

TIPS AND HINTS

If you buy large portions of beans, separate them
into one- or two-week portions and store them in
airtight containers in the freezer. Preserve fresh-
ness by minimizing exposure to air, light, and mois-
ture. Once beans are removed from the freezer,
keep them in a sealed container at room tempera-
ture, since damaging condensation can occur when
beans move from cold to warmer temperatures.
Some experts feel freezing dark-roast beans can
cause oils to coagulate; others disagree. You'll have
to decide that one for yourself!
12-CUP COFFEEMAKER
CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

COMPLETELY CLEAN AND DRY ALL PARTS AFTER
EVERY USE. Always turn unit off and remove the plug
from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
Open the reservoir lid and remove the grinder basket lid
by using the recessed area on each side of the lid. Then
remove grinder basket. Open filter basket door, remove
filter basket cover, filter basket and filter basket holder.
The grinder basket, grinder basket lid, filter basket and
filter basket cover can be washed in warm, soapy water
and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of
the dishwasher. Dry all parts after every use.
Do not put any water in the unit once the grinder
basket has been removed. Wipe the area under the
grinder basket with a damp cloth. If water gets into
the grinder motor, the motor may become damaged
and may malfunction. Once clean, reverse the
above steps.
Remove the carafe from the heating plate. Discard any
remaining coffee. The carafe and lid can be washed in
warm, soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or placed in
a dishwasher. The carafe and carafe lid should be
placed on the upper rack only.
Do not use any scouring agents or harsh cleansers on
any part of the coffeemaker.
Never immerse base unit in water or other liquids. To
clean base, simply wipe with a clean, damp cloth and
dry before storing. Fingerprints and other blemishes on
the housing can be washed off with soap and water or
a nonabrasive cleaning solution. Wipe heater plate with
a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive
materials or cleansers to clean the heater plate. Do not
dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint
may remain.
