BREWING COFFEE
Follow instructions in “Before First Use”
on previous page.
1. Insert charcoal water filter
Follow directions for the preparation and
insertion of the filter on page 7.
2. Fill the water reservoir
Open the coffeemaker reservoir cover by lifting
it up. Pour in the desired amount of water using
the water level indicator located at the side of
the coffeemaker.
3. Set preferences
a. Push the 1-4 cup button if you are brewing
fewer than 5 cups.
b. Turn the Carafe Temperature dial to low (L),
medium (M), or high (H) and heater plate will
keep coffee at the temperature you select.
4. Add the ground coffee
Remove the filter basket by grasping the handle
and lifting straight up. Insert a #4 paper filter or
permanent filter. Be sure that a paper filter is
completely open and fully inserted in the
basket. It may help to fold and flatten the seams
of a paper filter beforehand. Add 1 level scoop
of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the amount
according to taste.
NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground
coffee is 15 tablespoons (225 ml) for this
coffeemaker. Exceeding this amount may
cause overflow if the coffee is too finely
ground.
Replace the filter basket in the filter basket
holder and press firmly on cover to be sure it
closes securely.
5. Before brewing coffee
Make sure the glass carafe is in position on the
heating plate and the top cover is closed. Plug
the cord into an electrical outlet.
6. Power unit
Turn the Function knob to BREW, press the
On/Off button, and the blue indicator light will
turn on. Or, set the AUTO ON function (see
page 7) and the Auto On indicator will light.
7. After brewing
When the brewing cycle has been completed,
five beeps will sound. Coffee will continue to
stream from the filter for several seconds.
NOTE: Reservoir cover may be hot during
and directly after brewing. Wait at least 10
minutes before opening.
USING THE HOT
WATER SYSTEM
Follow instructions in “Before First Use”
on previous page.
1. Fill the water reservoir
Open the Hot Water reservoir cover by lifting
it up. Fill the reservoir with water, making sure
not to fill above the Max fill line.
2. Heating
Press the On/Off button on the Hot Water side
of your unit. The blue On indicator around the
On/Off button will light. The Water Ready
indicator will flash while the unit is heating.
Once the unit has heated, the Water Ready
indicator will become solid.
3. Dispensing Water
To dispense water, be sure the safety switch,
which is located below the lever, is in the
unlocked position. Simply slide the safety
switch to the left to unlock. Then place a cup
on the drip tray and press the lever down –
the unit dispenses up to 13 ounces of hot
water at a time. If desired, return the safety
lock to the locked position (to the right) after
dispensing water.
NOTE: You can remove the drip tray to
accommodate tall mugs.
4. After dispensing
The heater will immediately begin heating more
water. The Water Ready indicator will again flash
until water reaches serving temperature.
NOTE: The red Add Water indicator will
light if more water is needed.
5. Turning off Hot Water System
To turn off your Hot Water maker at any time,
press the On/Off button. The On indicator will
turn off, but the Water Ready indicator will
remain lit until water has cooled below serving
temperature.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Always turn unit off and remove the plug
from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
Lift up the coffeemaker reservoir cover. Remove
and discard the paper filter and ground coffee.
The filter basket can be washed in warm, soapy
water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the
upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts after
use.
Do not put any water in the unit once the filter
basket has been removed. Wipe the area under
the filter basket with a damp cloth.
Remove the carafe from the heating plate.
Discard any remaining coffee. The carafe and
lid can be washed in warm, soapy water and
rinsed thoroughly, or placed in a dishwasher.
The carafe and carafe lid should be placed on
the upper rack only.
Do not use any scouring agents or harsh
cleansers on any part of the coffeemaker.
Never immerse base unit in water or other
liquids. To clean base, simply wipe with a clean,
damp cloth and dry before storing. Fingerprints
and other blemishes on the housing can be
washed off with soap and water or a
nonabrasive cleaning solution. Wipe heating
plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use
rough, abrasive materials or cleansers to clean
the heater plate. Do not dry the inside of the
water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.
EMPTYING THE HOT
WATER RESERVOIR
If your Hot Water System has not been used for
more than one week, or if you plan to store
your Coffee PLUS
™
unit, we suggest emptying
the reservoir completely. Place it over the sink,
and pull the water release tab from the bottom
of the unit to drain the Hot Water System
reservoir. Once empty, replace the release tab.
NOTE: Hot Water Reservoir should be
emptied only when the unit is cool. To
avoid injury, do not empty the reservoir
when there is hot water in the unit.
DECALCIFICATION
Decalcification refers to the removal of calcium
deposits that form over time on the metal parts
of the coffeemaker.
TO DECALCIFY YOUR COFFEEMAKER
For best performance from your Coffeemaker,
decalcify the unit from time to time. The
frequency depends upon the hardness of your
tap water and how often you use the
coffeemaker. The flashing Clean light will
indicate when unit should be cleaned
If the Clean light begins to flash when the
coffeemaker is turned on, it is telling you that
the calcium buildup is interfering with the
functioning of your coffeemaker and the flavour
of your coffee. To clean, fill the water reservoir
to capacity with a mixture of ¹⁄
³
white vinegar
and ²⁄
³
water. Press the Clean button. When the
Clean light glows, turn the coffeemaker on by
pressing the On/Off button. The Clean light will
shine steadily. The coffeemaker is now in
CLEAN mode. One cycle should be sufficient
to adequately clean the coffeemaker. When the
cycle is completed and the five beeps sound,
the coffeemaker will shut off. Turn the
coffeemaker on to see if the Clean light
continues to flash. If it does, turn it off and
then repeat the cleaning procedure with a
fresh solution of vinegar and water.
If the Clean light no longer flashes, turn the
coffeemaker off and then run one cycle of fresh
cold water through the unit before using the
unit again to brew coffee.
Notes on the CLEAN Function
Pressing the Clean button cancels all other
settings. If it is pressed accidentally, press it
again to return the coffeemaker to all its
previous settings. Pressing On/Off will also exit
the CLEAN mode and turn the coffeemaker off.
TO DECALCIFY YOUR HOT WATER SYSTEM
We recommend you clean your hot water
system twice a year to remove any calcium
scale residue from the heating element.
1. Dispense and dispose any water in the reservoir
until the Add Water light flashes.
2. Add 32oz (950 ml) of white vinegar to the Hot
Water reservoir. Turn the unit on to heat the
water.
3. Dispense 16oz. (475 ml) of vinegar and dispose.
This will fill the inner tank.
4. Let the vinegar solution sit in the unit for 20
minutes. Do not dispense during this time.
5. After 20 minutes, turn the unit off and allow hot
vinegar to cool. Then drain the internal reservoir
over a sink by removing the water release tab
from the bottom of unit.
6. When vinegar has completely drained,
replace tab.
7. Refill reservoir with water and drain the internal
reservoir again (by removing tab at the bottom
of the unit) to flush thoroughly. Replace tab.
NOTE: If water has a vinegar taste or smell,
continue to dispense water until taste or smell is
gone.
BREW PAUSE
™
FEATURE
This feature interrupts the flow of coffee
from the basket to let you pour that first
cup mid-brew. Because the flavour profile
of coffee brewed at the start of a cycle
differs from that brewed towards the end,
be aware that using this feature will weaken
the flavour strength of the finished pot.
NOTE: Removing carafe for more than 20
seconds may cause filter basket to
overflow.
