OPERATION AND USE Before First Use Before using your coffeemaker for the first time, wash decanter/lid and removable filter basket using a mild, nonabrasive detergent and water. Rinse each thoroughly. Follow Steps 3 - 5 under Brewing Coffee only using water, to clean the inside. Brewing Coffee 1. Lift the coffeemaker lid for filter basket and water reservoir access. Insert a MR. COFFEE® 4-Cup paper or permanent filter into the removable filter basket. 2. Add desired amount of coffee, referring to the Coffee Measurement Chart. (See Page E6) Shake lightly to level coffee. Be sure the filter is centered. 3. Fill the decanter with cold water to desired capacity as marked on the side of the decanter (1 cup = 5 oz). To brew 4 cups of coffee, fill the decanter to the 4-cup line. 4. Pour the water into the water reservoir. Note: For easy and accurate filling, refer to cup markings on the water windows. Place the empty decanter onto the warming plate. 5. Plug the cord into the electrical outlet and turn your coffeemaker switch to the "on" position. When the coffee stops flowing, the brewing cycle is complete. Note: The warming plate will keep your coffee piping hot until you turn your coffeemaker off. 6. After contents have cooled, carefully remove the filter basket and discard the used grounds and paper filter or rinse clean the permanent filter. Rinse the removable filter basket and replace. 7. To make another pot of coffee, repeat Steps 1-6. 8. Be sure to turn your coffeemaker off when the decanter is empty and you are no longer using your coffeemaker. Please unplug the power cord when not in use. E5 BVMC-TF 4 CUP_11ESM1.indd 7-8 Warning: To avoid risk of personal injury or damage to property as a result of overflow, be sure the decanter is squarely centered under the filter basket during the brewing cycle. Brewed coffee and grounds, both in filter basket and decanter, are very hot. Handle with care to avoid scalding. If filter basket overflows, or if filter basket fails to drain into decanter during brew cycle, do not open or handle basket. Unplug coffeemaker and wait for contents to cool before handling. SUGGESTED COFFEE MEASUREMENT CHART For best results, use freshly ground coffee. Use level tablespoon (Tbsp.) of a grind recommended for automatic drip coffeemakers. Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart To Brew Ground Coffee 4 Cups 5 tbsp. 2 Cups 3 tbsp. 1 level tablespoon (tbsp) = 5 gr./0.17 oz. 1 cup = 5 fl. oz. of brewed coffee Use more or less coffee to suit your taste. BREWING PAUSE 'N SERVE Our Brewing Pause 'n Serve feature allows you up to 30 seconds to pour a cup of coffee while the coffeemaker is still brewing. It also prevents any remaining coffee in the filter basket from dripping onto the warming plate once the brew cycle is complete. WARNING: To prevent injury from hot overflow, replace decanter within 30 seconds if removed during brewing. If the decanter is not replaced within 30 seconds, the filter basket will fill with water and overflow. E6 11/8/11 11:03 AM
