3. Place either the permanent Longlife Durable Filter or a size 4 paper filter (not included) into
the brew basket (see Fig. 4)
4. Add ground coffee. The amount of coffee you use is a matter of personal taste (we recom-
mend one heaping tablespoon for every two cups). Try different amounts of ground coffee per
cup until you brew your perfect cup of coffee. You can also try using the paper filter along with
the Longlife Durable Filter.
5. Close the cover. Place carafe on the warming plate and plug in the appliance. The control
display window illuminates blue and the coffeemaker beeps for about 1 second to let you know
the clock is not set. The clock will blink at 12:00 AM. The clock does not have to be set to brew
coffee. To set the clock time, see OPERATING THE CONTROL PANEL.
6. The default setting of the coffeemaker is for the regular strength, indicated by a blue light
next to the word regular. Choose bold strength by pressing the brew strength button. The blue
light will switch to the word bold. Push the START button to turn on the coffeemaker. A blue
light appears by the word Brew to show that the coffeemaker is brewing. When the coffee has
finished brewing, the coffeemaker automatically switches to the warming mode. The blue light
switches from the word brew to the word warm. For delayed brewing , see OPERATING THE
CONTROL PANEL.
NOTE: Bold strength brews the best taste for 2-4 cups of coffee.
7. When you have poured out all the coffee in the carafe, press the STOP button to turn off the
appliance, and remove the carafe from the warming plate.
NOTE: If the coffeemaker is not turned off, it will automatically shut off after 40 minutes.
The Pause & Serve Function
The Pause & Serve function allows you to pour out some coffee, while the brewing cycle is still
running. There is no need to interrupt the brewing cycle manually.
WARNING: DO NOT remove the glass carafe from the coffeemaker for more than 20
seconds, because this will temporarily stop the coffee from dripping into the carafe, it does not
stop the brewing cycle. ALWAYS ensure that the Pause & Serve mechanism is closed
and the coffee will not run on the warming plate, when removing the glass
carafe. When the coffeemaker is switched ON and there is still water in the water reservoir,
the filter basket could overflow and water could run into the housing of the appliance. Thus, the
carafe must be returned to the warming plate immediately to open the Pause & Serve mechanism.
1. You may take the glass carafe out of the coffeemaker for a short time to pour out some
coffee. The Pause & Serve mechanism stops the coffee dripping off the filter basket.
2. IMMEDIATELY replace the glass carafe to the warming plate to avoid overflowing of the filter
basket. Doing so, ensure that the coffee drips into the glass carafe again.
CAUTION: If coffee grounds or lime block the Pause & Serve mechanism, the coffee will drip on
the warming plate. In this case IMMEDIATELY replace the glass carafe to the warming plate, wait
until the filter basket has completely run dry and cooled down. Thereafter, clean the filter basket
thoroughly. (See: “Cleaning the Filter Basket“) However, it is normal, when just one or two drops
fall from the filter basket, after removing the glass carafe.
