Adding Water And Ground Coffee - Sunbeam BVSBEHX Series User Manual

B. Adding Water and Ground Coffee
1. Open the brew basket lid. For your convenience,
you can lift out the removable filter basket.
2. Place a 10-12 cup paper basket-style filter
or a permanent filter into the removable filter
basket (Figure 5).
NOTE: If using paper filters, it is important that the
sides of the filter fit flush against the side of the
filter basket. If filter collapse occurs, dampen the filter
before placing in the filter basket and adding ground
coffee and water.
3. Add the desired amount of coffee and gently shake
to level the coffee. See the Suggested Coffee
Measurement Chart.
4. Be sure the removable filter basket is properly centered and all the way down in the brew
basket and close the lid.
5. Fill the decanter with cold, fresh water to the desired capacity (1 cup equals 5 ounces). For easy
and accurate filling, the water markings on the glass decanter and on the water window
show the amount of water needed to make the corresponding desired number of cups. Do
not fill past the "12 cup MAX line" or water will flow out of the overfill hole in the back of
the coffeemaker.
The amount of coffee brewed will always be slightly less than the amount of water poured
in the water reservoir. This is due to the minimum absorption of water by
the coffee grounds.
6. Lift the pour through reservoir lid and pour the water into the water reservoir. Close the lid
and place the empty decanter onto the warmer plate.
NOTE: Make sure the decanter is fully placed on the warming plate or the water and the
grounds will overflow from the filter basket. An overflow may cause personal injury or damage
to property.
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of damaging the decanter and/or the risk of personal
injury, do not add cold water to the decanter if the decanter is already hot. Allow the
decanter to cool before using.
