FEATURES AND BENEFITS We created the Premier Series of coffeemakers with you in mind. Every aspect has been designed to be easy to use. We made a large water window which is easily viewed from the front of the machine, and the reservoir lid opens to the back, providing easy access for filling. The removable filter basket liner is molded in black plastic to avoid unsightly staining. We put rubber feet on the front of the machine only, so it's easy to move around on the countertop, yet won't slide as you set the controls. We also reasoned that an easy-tohold carafe would allow you more control while pouring, helping to avoid spills. And we placed the carafe markings next to the handle, not on the side of the pot, so you can easily see them as you fill the carafe with water. The Parts 1. Reservoir Cover Press to open. Press to lock. A Safety Interlock System prevents operation of the unit if the reservoir cover is open more than one half inch (1/2"). 2. Water Window Markings indicate water needed to make corresponding cups of brewed coffee. 3. Brew PauseTM Feature (Not shown) Stops flow of coffee from basket when carafe is removed from heater plate, so a cup can be poured in mid-brew, if desired. Since the extraction rate varies during the brew cycle, we recommend allowing the brewing cycle to finish before pouring coffee. 4. Carafe a. Taste Keeper® Lid: Helps preserve coffee flavor by minimizing oxygen flow into carafe. b. Comfort Grip Handle: Safe, controlled pouring. c. Brewed Coffee Markings: These are located close to the handle for easier viewing. 5. Coffee Temperature Monitor Monitors brewed coffee temperature and maintains it at the same level, even if there is only a small amount of coffee in the carafe. Note: temperature is adjustable. 6. Warming Plate 7. Cord Storage (Not shown) Unused cord is easily pushed into the bottom of coffeemaker, keeping counters neat. 8. Control Panel 9. Safety Interlock System (Not shown) Prevents operation of the unit if the reservoir cover is open more than 1/2 inch or the grinder basket lid and/or filter basket cover are not in place. An audible tone will sound continuously until cover is closed or the missing parts are in place and the cover is closed. 6
