1. Plug in coffeemaker. The On/Off button will illuminate and remain illuminated,
indicating the coffeemaker has power.
2. Remove water reservoir and fill with water up to at least the marking that is equal to
the number of cups of coffee to be brewed.
3. Place the paper filter of your choice into the brew basket (see USING YOUR CHOICE
OF COFFEE FILTER section for assistance).
4. Use the built in scoop to add ground coffee into the paper
filter. We suggest one scoop per cup of coffee. Adjust for your
personal taste.
5. Close filter basket lid tightly to ensure coffee flows smoothly into
the carafe. Overflows may occur if the filter basket lid is not properly closed.
6. Place the carafe on the carafe plate with lid closed or secured tightly. Coffee may run
over if carafe lid is not correctly in place.
7. Press the illuminated On/Off button once to brew 2 cups,
twice to brew 4 cups or three times to brew 8 cups of
coffee. The brew cycle will automatically start. There is no
need to push the illuminated On/Off button again.
8. While brewing, the Sneak-A-Cup™ feature will stop coffee
flow into the carafe, allowing you to pour a cup of coffee before the brew cycle
finishes. Always return the carafe on to the carafe plate within 20 seconds to prevent
coffee overflow.
9. To stop your coffeemaker's brew cycle at any time, press the illuminated On/Off button.
10. When the brew cycle is complete:
• 2 or 4 Cups: The unit will automatically shut off.
• A full 8-cup carafe: the warming plate will remain on for 1 hour before
automatically shutting off. CAUTION: Do not touch the carafe plate. It will be hot!
11. When coffee grounds are cool, carefully remove and dispose of the used grounds and
filter.
12. Clean your coffeemaker according to the instruction in the "CARE AND CLEANING"
section.
