Brewing

2. Make sure unit is in the OFF position. The LED Indicator Light  
will be off.  
IMPORTANT: Place coffee maker on a level surface.  
3. Markings on the Water Level Indicator indicate the amount of  
water required to brew the desired number of Thermal Mugs.  
Lift up the hinged Water Chamber Lid and fill to desired level  
with cold, fresh water for the number of Thermal Mugs (one or  
two), using the Water Level Indicator on the Water Window.  
WARNING: When making one Thermal Mug, do not fill above  
level 1.  
IMPORTANT: If cream or milk will be added to Thermal Mugs,  
use less water for brewing.  
4. For optimal holding temperature, rinse the inside of Thermal  
Mugs with warm water before brewing. Place Lids securely on  
tops of Thermal Mugs. Press down on the Lids to ensure  
proper fit.  
NOTE: You can brew either one Thermal Mug or two Thermal  
Mugs at once. Place Thermal Mugs snugly on Base of unit as  
shown in Figure A (for two Thermal Mugs). The contoured  
design on the Base should be used as a guide for Thermal  
Mug alignment.

and add coffee grounds. Use approximately 12-2 tablespoons  
for each Thermal Mug of coffee. Close Water Chamber Lid,  
snapping the Basket into place. (See Figure D.)

6. Press Power Switch ON. The LED Indicator Light will turn red.  
CAUTION: Avoid contact with heated water.  
IMPORTANT: Do not remove Thermal Mugs until the LED  
Indicator Light has turned OFF. The LED Indicator Light will  
turn OFF approximately two minutes after brewing is  
complete. This delay will allow the last drops of coffee to flow  
into the Thermal Mugs.  
7. After LED Indicator Light turns off, Thermal Mugs may be  
safely removed.  
8. If brewing more than one cycle, allow unit to cool for 10  
minutes between cycles.  
Helpful Hints for Brewing  
• Always use fresh, cold water for brewing. In areas with hard  
water or where water contains a high mineral content, use cold  
filtered water for optimal coffee taste.  
• For best results, use Melitta® #2 paper cone filters and Melitta®  
Premium Coffee.  
• The markings on the Water Level Indicator reflect the quantity  
of fresh water to be used. The quantity of brewed coffee is less  
because the coffee grounds absorb water.

in the bottom center of the Display Window.  
2. Using the HR and MIN button, set the time you wish the coffee

to the time of day automatically after 8 seconds, and then  
“SET TIMER” will disappear. You may also press the PROG  
button to make the display return to the time of day.

indicate the timer has been set for delayed start.  
Note:To cancel the delayed start, press AUTO once again, the  
LED Indicator Light will go off and the delayed start program  
will be cancelled.

the LED Indicator Light will change to red and the brewing will  
start.  
Note: During the auto-brew program, you may start brewing at  
once by pressing the ON/OFF button.

Indicator Light will be off.

3. Open Filter Basket Holder and lift up on the tab of Filter  
Basket. Discard any paper filter and coffee grounds.

Mugs and Mug Lids in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry  
thoroughly. Or, you may wash the Mugs and Lids in the top  
rack of a dishwasher.  
5. Clean the outside of the coffee maker with a damp cloth.  
CAUTION: DO NOT IMMERSE CORD, PLUG OR COFFEE  
MAKER UNIT IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.  
6. Replace Filter Basket, Drip Tray and Overflow Tray for next use.  
Descaling  
We recommend that you descale your coffee maker once a month  
because mineral deposits can form a coating in the coffee maker,  
causing slower brewing time and possibly an off flavor in the  
coffee. Use a cleaner recommended for coffee makers. To descale  
your unit:  
1. Pour two ounces of vinegar or coffee cleaner into the Water  
Chamber. Add cold water to the level 2 indicator.  
2. Place a clean #2 paper cone filter in the filter basket and close  
Water Chamber Lid. Place both Mugs in proper position on  
Base of unit.  
3. Follow “Brewing” instructions (without coffee).  
4. When the LED Indicator Light turns off, wait 15 minutes and  
pour solution from Mugs back into coffee maker. Be sure that  
the Filter Basket is still in proper position.  
5. Turn unit on again. Allow all solution to empty into Mugs.  
When LED Indicator Light turns off, discard solution.  
6. Allow unit to cool 10 minutes. To rinse unit, fill Water Chamber  
with fresh, cold water up to the level 2 indicator. Insert a fresh  
paper filter into Filter Basket. Close Water Chamber Lid. Place  
both Mugs in proper position on Base of unit and turn Power  
Switch on.  
7. At end of cycle, allow unit to cool, discard water and paper  
filter. Wash and dry Mugs and other removable parts.  
8. Unplug coffee maker from outlet. When coffee maker has  
cooled, wipe exterior with a damp cloth.
