Operating Your Coffee Maker Brewing Coffee 1. Fill a carafe with enough fresh, cool water to make the desired amount of coffee. A graduated scale on the side of the glass carafe helps measure the amount of water required. The right side of the scale ("coffee") is a measurement of carafe volume in 41⁄4 ounce cups. The left side of the scale ("water") indicates the amount of water needed to produce a given number of cups. For thermal carafe model KCM515, the scale on the water filter handle can be used to gauge the amount of water to add. on the plate - if the carafe isn't seated, the pause and pour feature may engage and coffee may overflow the brew basket. 4. Remove the brew basket from the top of the Coffee Maker by grasping the finger loop on the front of the basket. 2. Lift the front lid and fill the water reservoir with fresh cool water using the reservoir fill-channel to the right of the brew basket. Water can also be poured directly into the reservoir at the back of the Coffee Maker. 5. Insert a 10-12 cup flat-bottom paper filter or the gold tone permanent filter into the brew basket. Never use both types of filter at the same time - using both may cause water to overflow the brew basket. 6. Using the included scoop, fill the filter with one rounded scoop of ground coffee for each cup desired. Use a medium grind appropriate for automatic drip coffee makers: too fine a grind will produce bitterness and may clog the coffee filter. 3. After filling the reservoir, place the carafe on the Coffee Maker warming plate. Make sure the bottom of the carafe is fully seated 10 NOTE: Always place the filter and coffee into the removable brew basket. Do not operate the Coffee Maker without the brew basket in place.
