MAKING COFFEE

Before making the first pot of coffee in vour new
Brew coffeemaker, we recommend operating the
coffeemaker once using only water
tcr. This will remove any dust or residues in the
system which remain from the manut&uring
process.
1. Fill the Water Reservoir:
the carafe from the hot plate. Open the
carafe cover and fill with cold water to just over the
amount of coffee you arc making. Close the carafe
cover. Press the reservoir lid to open. Pour the
water from the carafe into it. The numbers
water reservoir indicate a slightly higher amomit of
water per cup than the carafe markings. This is to
compensate for the amount of water lost
the grounds and lost as steam during the brewing
process. The float on the water window indicates
the amount of water necessary to brew the corre-
sponding amount of coffee.
Replace the carafe on the hot plate.
2. Set the Flavor System:
proper coffee flavor compounds when the dial is
positioned according to the number of cups being
NOTE: If you use less than the recommended
coffee measure, or you use a grind that is finer
than the recommended grind, set the Flavor
System to a higher cup setting. This takes more
water away from the grounds to prevent over-
extraction. Conversely, if you use more coffee or
a coarser grind, set it to a lower setting.
To deactivate the Flaror System, turn the selector
knob counterclochise to the "OFF" setting. Close
the lid of the reservoir.
3. Add Beans/Filter:
Lift the Grinder Basket Lid using the recess
either side. Pill the basket with the desired quantity
of beans. Lift the Filter Basket Cover/Filter Holder.
(See Parts list for best location to grasp). Place a #4
1 2
cone filter or a permanent filter in the basket.
Note: When using a permanent filter, be sure
that the filter handle is facing away from the
grinder basket. If you do not do so, the handle
may interfere with the flow of ground coffee
into the filter basket. Also note, a permanent
filter may allow some ground coffee to flow
into carafe.

The Automatic Grind and Brew is equipped
with a Safety Interlock System. The Grind and
Brew will not operate if the cover of the unit is
open more than l/2 inch or the grinder cover
and/ or the filter cover are left out. If you try to
turn the unit on, it will beep continuously until
the missing parts are installed and the cover is
closed. The unit will also beep if you open the
cover during the brewing process. If grinding,
the grinder will stop. If brewing, the brewing
will stop: Once the missing parts are installed
and the cover is closed, the beeping will stop.
The brewing process can be restarted by press-
ing the "On" 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 "On" button.
