POWER LOSS BACKUP SYSTEM One-minute protection in case a breaker trips, the unit is unplugged, or the power fails. It holds all programmed information, including time of day, Auto On time and Auto Off time. ADJUSTING THE AUTO OFF FEATURE After the coffeemaker finishes a brew cycle, the heating plate underneath the carafe is programmed to keep your coffee warm for 2 hours (default time) and then automatically shut off. The Auto Off feature can be adjusted so that the keep warm time can last between 0-2 hours. To change the automatic shut off time, follow the instructions below: 1. Press and hold the BREW/OFF button for two seconds, until the blue BREW/OFF indicator and the clock display begin flashing. 2. The LCD display will show the program default time at 2:00, and will be flashing. 3. Press the HOUR and MINUTE buttons to program your coffeemaker to automatically shut off from 0-2 hours. Note: The Auto Off time can only be programmed before brewing. BREWING COFFEE Before your first brew, please follow instructions in previous page - Before Brewing Your First Pot of Coffee. 1. Insert charcoal water filter Follow directions for the preparation and insertion of the filter on previous page. 2. Fill the water reservoir Open the coffeemaker reservoir cover by lifting it up. Pour in the desired amount of water using the stair step water level indicator located in the reservoir. 3. Insert filter and add the ground coffee Remove the filter basket by grasping the handle and lifting straight up. Insert a #4 paper filter or permanent nylon filter. Be sure that a paper filter is completely open and fully inserted in the basket. It may help to fold and flatten the seams of a paper filter beforehand. Add 1 level scoop (1 tablespoon) of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the amount according to taste. NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 15 scoops (15 tablespoons) for this coffeemaker. Exceeding this amount may cause overflow if the coffee is too finely ground. Replace the filter basket in the filter basket holder and press firmly on cover to be sure it closes securely. 4. Before brewing coffee Make sure the glass carafe is in position on the heating plate and the top cover is closed. 5. Begin brewing Press the BREW/OFF button, and the blue indicator light will turn on. Or, set the Auto On function (see page 7) and the Auto On indicator light will turn on. NOTE: Press and release the BREW/OFF button again to turn off brewing at any time. 6. When the brewing cycle is complete, 5 beeps will sound. Coffee will continue to stream from the filter for several seconds. 7. After brewing cycle is complete, coffeemaker will enter Keep Warm function. Heating plate will keep carafe warm for up to 2 hours. NOTE: Reservoir cover may be hot during and directly after brewing. Wait at least 10 minutes before opening. BREW PAUSE™ FEATURE This feature interrupts the flow of coffee from the basket to let you pour that first cup mid-brew. Because the flavor profile of coffee brewed at the start of a cycle differs from that brewed toward the end, be aware that using this feature will weaken the flavor strength of the finished pot. NOTE: Removing carafe for more than 20 seconds may cause filter basket to overflow. 8
