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 in previous section.
2. Fill the water reservoir
When filling the coffeemaker with water,
pour in the desired amount of water using
the water level indicator located inside the
water reservoir.
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, and then
place it on the countertop. Insert a #4
paper filter OR permanent gold tone filter.
If using the paper filter, be sure that it is
completely open and fully inserted in the
basket. It may help to fold and flatten
the seams of a paper filter beforehand.
Add the desired amount of ground
coffee, corresponding to the number of
cups being brewed. Add 1 level scoop
(1 tablespoon) of ground coffee per cup.
Adjust the amount according to taste.
NOTE: The maximum capacity for
ground coffee is 15 scoops (15
tablespoons) for this coffeemaker.
Exceeding this amount may cause
overflow if the coffee is too finely
ground.
CHARCOAL WATER FILTER
Your coffeemaker comes with a charcoal
water filter that eliminates chlorine, bad tastes
and odors from tap water.
