Operating Your Coffee Maker 4. Remove the brew basket from the top of the Coffee Maker by grasping the finger loop on the front of the basket. ENGLISH 5. Insert a 10-12 cup flat-bottom paper filter or the gold tone permanent filter into the brew basket. Do not use both types of filters at the same time. Using both filters might cause water and coffee to overflow the brew basket. 6. Using the included scoop, fill the filter with one level 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. NOTE: Lifting the front lid while coffee is brewing will interrupt the brew process and impair flavor. 9. The Coffee Maker will sound the end-of-brewing tone when brewing is complete. 10. The "Time Since Brew" display indicates the time elapsed since the completion of the brewing cycle. NOTE: Always place the filter and coffee into the removable brew basket. Do not operate the Coffee Maker without the brew basket in place. 7. Shake the brew basket slightly to even out the bed of coffee. Place the basket into the Coffee Maker, push it down to seat it securely. Be sure the front lid is fully closed before brewing. 8. Press the On/Off Button to begin brewing coffee. If you are only brewing 1 to 4 cups of coffee, press the 1-4 Cup Button immediately after pressing the On/Off Button. The 1 to 4 cup brew cycle heats small quantities of water thoroughly, ensuring optimum flavor with small pots of coffee. 11. At the end of 2 hours, the Coffee Maker will automatically shut off. To turn off the Coffee Maker manually, press the On/Off button. The outside of the carafe may be warm to the touch after brewing. Use discretion when placing the carafe on unprotected surfaces immediately after brewing. 12. Repeat steps 1-8 to brew additional carafes of coffee. Always turn off the Coffee Maker and allow it to cool for five minutes before starting the next brew cycle. THE PAUSE AND POUR FEATURE The pause and pour feature enables you to remove the carafe from the Coffee Maker and pour a cup of coffee before brewing is finished. When the carafe is removed, a special valve stops the flow of coffee from the brew basket. Brewing, however, does not stop. If the carafe is not placed back on the Carafe Tray within 25 seconds, water and coffee will overflow the brew basket. 9
