Before making your first pot of
delicious coffee, we recommend
operating the coffee maker once or
twice with water only, without ground
coffee or a paper filter to remove any
possible dust.
Be sure that the water container is
empty. Remove literature, etc. if
inserted in the water container.
The lid of the glass carafe must be
properly positioned during the brewing
process. Position the lid over the carafe
and snap the rectangular piece onto
the handle. The lid is then locked in
place.
Make sure that the swing away filter (c)
is properly closed during the brewing
process. When closing the swivel filter
you will feel a noticeable resistance

water by the ground coffee. Therefore,
put in a little more water to begin with
so that you will have the number of
cups you desire.
Replace the carafe on the warming
plate with the glass carafe lid in
position.
