Befor_e Fir_st Use
Wash the brew basket, Gold Tone permanent filter, and carafe in hot, soapy water,
then rinse with clean water and dry. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.
NOTE: These parts can also be washed in the top rack of the dishwasher.

Installing the water filter

Use of the water filter is optional, but strongly recommended. The filter reduces
contaminants which impair the coffee flavor. The Coffee Maker will operate normally
without it.
The water filter is for use only with municipally treated tap water or well water that
is regularly tested for contaminants; the filter is not intended to remove contaminants
in water that is not suitable for drinking.
Place the filter cartridge in a separate
1
container filled with fresh, cool water.
The cartridge should remain submerged
in the water for 10 minutes. Rinse the
filter cartridge under running water for
5 seconds after soaking.
Place the filter cartridge in the well
3
at the bottom of the water reservoir.
Push the cartridge slightly to make sure
it fits snugly.
Lift the water tank lid using the tab on
2
the rear of the lid.
IMPORTANT: Every time you install
a new water filter, run the Coffee
Maker through a complete brew cycle
without coffee. Use a full carafe of
clean, cool water.
