BREWING COFFEE

1. Insert the charcoal water filter
Follow directions for the preparation and
insertion of the filter on page 9.
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.

Make sure the thermal carafe is in position on
the resting plate and the top cover is closed.
Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.

5. Add ground coffee
Remove the filter basket by grasping the
handle and lifting straight up. Insert a #4
paper filter or permanent filter. Be sure
that a paper filter is completely open and
fully inserted in the basket. It may help to
fold and flatten the seams of a paper filter
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. Exceeding this
amount may cause overflow if the
coffee is too finely ground.
Replace the filter basket in the filter basket
holder, and press firmly on the cover to be
sure it closes securely.
Note: When brewing iced coffee, add ice
cubes directly into the carafe prior to
brewing. Follow the recommended recipe
