7. After brewing When the brewing cycle has been completed, coffee will continue to stream from the filter for several seconds. When streaming completely stops, five beeps will sound, and you can now enjoy your coffee. NOTE: Reservoir cover may be hot during and directly after brewing. Wait at least 10 minutes before opening. BREWING OVER ICE The OVER ICE feature adjusts the brew process to maximize coffee flavor ideal for making iced coffee. Either brew coffee directly over ice or add ice to coffee after it is brewed. 1.

Add ice Fill the glass carafe with ice. Make sure the glass carafe is in position on the heater plate and the top cover is closed. NOTE: Adjust amount of ice based on personal preference. Adding too much ice could impact the overall flavor of the coffee. 3. Choose preferences Press CARAFE and OVER ICE. The LED indicator lights will illuminate, indicating the function is active.

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 30 seconds may cause filter basket to overflow. 12-CUP COFFEEMAKER CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Always turn unit off and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
