Press the “minute” button to advance the minutes to the desired time.  
Minutes move in one second increments.  
6. After placing 1 level tablespoon (15 ml) of ground coffee per cup  
(148 ml) of water into the cone filter, return the brew basket to the  
closed position. To ensure safe operation, make sure basket is  
closed securely.  
PRECAUTIONS  
1. Do not place a cloth or otherwise restrict airflow beneath coffeemaker.  
When complete, press the “prog” button, or wait for 15 seconds and  
your set time will be accepted.  
2. To avoid accidents, make sure thermal carafe lid is in “CLOSED”  
position during brewing and while pouring; do not pour in the  
direction of people.  
7. With thermal carafe and basket securely in place, press “ON”  
button; LED will light. CAUTION: Coffeemaker becomes very hot  
during brew cycle; handle with extreme care, as hot parts and  
escaping steam may cause burns.  
To Activate the Auto Brew Cycle  
To activate the auto brew mode, depress the “auto on” button.  
The “auto” symbol will illuminate in the upper right hand corner of the  
LCD screen.  
3. When pouring, use thermal carafe handle only. Bottom of Thermal  
Carafe is hot to touch for several minutes after brewing.  
8. The Brew-Through lid allows coffee to drip from coffeemaker  
through closed lid. When coffee has completely stopped dripping  
into thermal carafe and water level indicator is empty, brew cycle is  
complete. When dripping stops, Brew-Through lid will seal so coffee  
freshness and temperature are preserved.  
4. CAUTION: Burns may result from spilled hot liquid and/or contact  
with hot parts.  
The unit will now begin the brewing cycle at the programmed time.  
When the programmed time initiates the cycle, the red “ON” indicator  
light will show that the brewing cycle has started.  
NOTE: The unit will continue to attempt to brew at the programmed  
time, each day, until the Off button is pressed. The red “ON” indica-  
tor light will illuminate each time the attempt to brew is made.  
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
Daily  
Always unplug coffeemaker and allow to cool before cleaning. Wash  
filter basket in hot, soapy water. The carafe and lid can be washed in  
warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly. Not recommended for use  
in dishwasher.  
9. An audible “beep” tone will signal when brew cycle is complete. The  
coffeemaker will switch off automatically.  
If there is no water in the reservoir, the unit will automatically shut off  
one minute later.  
Bottom of Thermal Carafe is hot to touch for several minutes  
after brewing. Use caution.  
10. After coffee grounds have cooled, carefully open filter basket and  
discard used coffee filter and grounds. To remove filter basket from  
coffeemaker (A) grasp basket handle and swing basket outward,  
and (B) with basket in far right position, lift up and pull  
basket hinge.  
MAKING COFFEE  
1. Place coffeemaker on a solid flat surface.  
Plug into 120V outlet.  
Do not use scouring agents or harsh cleansers on any part of  
the coffeemaker.  
Never immerse base unit in water or other liquid. To clean base, simply  
wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry before storing. Wipe resting  
plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive materials or  
cleansers to clean the resting plate. Do not dry the inside of the water  
reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.  
11. Brew-Through lid allows coffee to be poured with lid in “CLOSED”  
position, so coffee freshness and temperature can be preserved.  
NEVER POUR LIQUID FROM THERMAL CARAFE UNLESS LID IS  
IN “CLOSED” POSITION.  
2. Open thermal carafe lid in direction of “OPEN” arrow. Fill thermal  
carafe with cold, fresh water. Open hinged water reservoir cover;  
pour water into reservoir opening. Markings on water level indica-  
tor show amount of water needed to make desired number of cups  
of coffee. TO AVOID OVERFLOW, DO NOT FILL ABOVE 12 CUP  
MARK. Close reservoir cover.  
BREW PAUSE™  
This feature allows a cup of coffee to be poured before the brew cycle  
has finished. Carefully remove thermal carafe, and the Brew Pause™  
feature will automatically activate, temporarily stopping flow of coffee  
into thermal carafe. Return thermal carafe to platform immediately after  
pouring coffee, and the brewing process will resume.  
Monthly  
Minerals found in water can clog coffeemaker or reduce its efficiency.  
To prevent this, fill thermal carafe with 2 cups (500 ml) vinegar. Add  
cold water to top. Pour water/vinegar mixture into reservoir opening.  
Place empty thermal carafe (with lid securely closed) on platform and  
press “ON” button. After water/vinegar mixture has been cycled  
through, press “OFF” button. Rinse by cycling through 2 or 3 more  
carafes of plain cold tap water. Do not pour any liquid other than cold  
tap water or water/vinegar mixture into reservoir opening when  
cleaning.  
3. Before thermal carafe is returned to platform, prewarm carafe by  
running warm water through it. Prewarming carafe will help keep  
coffee warmer.  
4. Return carafe lid to thermal carafe. To close lid, turn it in direction of  
“CLOSE” arrow until it fits tightly on carafe, and “POUR” arrow is  
aligned with spout. Return empty thermal carafe to platform.  
Be certain thermal carafe lid is in “CLOSED” position and is  
securely in place during brew cycle.  
IMPORTANT: Carafe must be returned to its position within 30 seconds to  
prevent filter basket from overflowing.  
NOTE: Strength of coffee poured mid-cycle may vary in strength from  
finished brew.  
5. Open filter basket by grasping basket handle and swinging  
outward. Insert a filter into filter basket; make sure filter fits snugly  
in basket. Use a fresh filter for each carafe of coffee.  
CAUTION: During brew cycle, basket must be closed securely since  
basket in improper position may cause hot water or coffee to overflow.
