Place the box on a large, sturdy, flat surface. 2. Remove the instruction book and any other literature. 3. Turn the box so that the back side of the coffeemaker is down and slide the coffeemaker from the box. 4. After the coffeemaker has been removed, place the box out of the way and remove the pulp molded inserts. 5. Grasp the carafe by its handle, remove it from the heater plate and remove the packing material. 6. Remove the packing material from the coffeemaker and lift the coffeemaker off the remaining two inserts. We suggest you save all packing materials in the event that future shipping of the machine is needed. Keep all plastic bags away from children. THE QUEST FOR THE PERFECT CUP OF COFFEE Element 1: Water Coffee is 98% water. The quality of that water is as important as the quality of your coffee. If water doesn't taste good from the tap, it won't taste good in your coffee. Element 2: Coffee While coffee is 98% water, all of the flavor comes from the beans. To achieve the same great taste you enjoy at a coffee bar, you need to use the same quality of coffee. If you choose to grind your own beans, buy them fresh and whole. Buy only about a two-week supply at a time, because once the bean is broken, its flavor degrades quickly. Element 3: Grind The grind is critical for proper flavor extraction. If the grind is too fine, overextraction and bitterness will result. Too fine a grind may also clog the filter. If grind is too coarse, the water will pass through too quickly and the maximum flavor will not be extracted. When grinding your own beans, we recommend a medium-fine grind. Element 4: Proportion Coffee that is too strong or too weak is always a disappointment. Follow the recommended portions of ground coffee in the instructions under Brewing Coffee, and later adjust the amount to suit your taste. NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 15 scoops (15 tablespoons) for this 60-oz. (twelve 5-oz. cups) coffeemaker. Exceeding this amount may cause overflow. 4
