OPTIONAL AUTO SHUT-OFF FEATURE This appliance may be equipped with an Auto Shut-Off feature. When equipped with Auto Shut-Off, the espresso boiler and corresponding indicator will turn off after 10 minutes of continuous use. The Keep Warm feature and corresponding indicator will turn off after 2 hours of continuous use. To "re-start" either the espresso or coffeemaker, switch the corresponding power switch to the "OFF" position and then switch back "ON". Always switch each power switch to the "OFF" position when finished using the appliance. USING YOUR 3 IN 1 COFFEE CENTER - PREPARING COFFEE 1. Place appliance on dry, level, heat-resistant surface away from any edge. 2. With both switches in the "OFF" position, plug cord into a 120 volt AC electric outlet only. 3. Swivel out the brew basket and place a #4 paper coffee filter into the brew basket. Add desired amount of coffee into the filter. We recommend one measure (measuring spoon provided) of ground coffee for each cup of brewed coffee to start. After using your coffeemaker a few times, adjust the amount of coffee to suit your own taste. Note: The coffee grind should be appropriate for a "drip" coffeemaker. Do not use coffee that is ground to a powder like consistency as this will prevent water from passing through the coffee and may cause hot water or hot to coffee overflow. 4. Close the brew basket by pushing in firmly until the basket touches the side of the coffee machine and the basket "clicks" into place. If the brew basket is not closed properly, hot water or hot coffee may overflow. Note: Make sure the filter is seated properly in the basket and does not fold over itself when closing the brew basket as this may cause hot water or hot coffee to overflow or it may allow the water to bypass the coffee grounds, producing a very weak coffee brew. 5. Open the hinged water reservoir and pour in the desired quantity of clean cool water for the number of cups you are brewing. Never pour more water into the reservoir than the marked maximum level. For maximum flavor, do not use warm or hot water to fill reservoir. 6. Place the coffee carafe with lid in position on the warming plate. Make sure that the coffee carafe sits flat on the inside circle of the warming plate. Note: The lid of the carafe must be properly positioned on the coffee carafe. If the covered carafe is not in place during the brew process hot water or hotcoffee may overflow. 7. Turn the appliance "ON" by using the CAFFÉ on/off switch. The indicator light will illuminate indicating that the brewing process has begun. Note: As long as the red indicator light is illuminated, the coffee will be kept warm. If the coffee carafe is removed before the end of the brew cycle, it must be returned properly to the warming plate so the coffee may continue to brew and to avoid hot water or hot coffee to overflow. 8. Unplug cord from electrical outlet after use and allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning. • Using the Pause 'n Serve Feature: The Pause 'n Serve feature allows you to pour a cup of coffee while it is still brewing. For optimum flavor, allow half of the quantity of coffee to finish brewing before removing the carafe. Return the carafe within 30 seconds so the coffee may continue to brew to avoid hot water or hot coffee to overflow. To prevent scald injury, do not remove any part of the appliance, other than the carafe, during the brew cycle. 6
