BREWING COFFEE

Follow instructions in Setting Up Your 12-Cup
Coffeemaker on page 8.
1. Insert charcoal water fi lter
Follow directions for the preparation and insertion of
the fi lter on page 8.
2. Fill the water reservoir
Open the coffeemaker reservoir cover by
lifting it up. Pour in the desired amount of water,
using the water level indicator located at the side of
the coffeemaker.
3. Before brewing
Make sure the glass carafe is in position on the
heater plate and the top cover is closed. Plug the
cord into an electrical outlet.
4. Add the ground coffee
Remove the fi lter basket by grasping the handle
and lifting straight up. Insert a #4 paper fi lter or
permanent fi lter. Be sure that a paper fi lter is
completely open and fully inserted in the basket.
It may help to fold and fl atten the seams of a paper
fi lter beforehand. Add 1 level scoop of ground coffee
per cup. Adjust the amount according to taste.
NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground coffee
is 15 tablespoons for this coffeemaker. Exceed-
ing this amount may cause overfl ow if the coffee
is too fi nely ground.
Replace the fi lter basket in the fi lter basket
holder and press fi rmly on cover to be sure it
closes securely.

When the brewing cycle is complete, coffee will con-
tinue to stream from the fi lter for several seconds.
When streaming completely stops, fi ve 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.
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.
