Prior to brewing your first pot of coffee, or if the coffee maker has not been used for a long  
period of time, it is suggested that you brew water only, to thoroughly rinse the appliance. To  
do this, follow the brewing instructions below, except do not use a paper filter or ground coffee  
and fill water tank only to the 8 cup level. Discard heated water.  
Brewing Coffee  
1. Place the coffee maker on a flat, level surface and plug into a standard AC outlet.  
2. Remove the 10-cup carafe from the warming plate and fill the carafe with the desired amount of cold water.  
3. Open the hinged lid on the coffee maker’s water tank (see Fig. A) and pour the water into the tank. Fill to the desired level  
and close the hinged lid. To assure best flavor, make at least two cups at a time.  
4. Open the filter basket holder as shown in Figs. B1 and B2. With the handle in the lifting position (Fig. C), slip a #4 cone-  
shaped paper filter into the filter basket. Using your hand, push down on the center of the paper filter until it is fully seated  
in the basket. Then lower the basket handle so that a portion of the filter paper is tucked under the handle.  
5. Add the desired amount of ground coffee to the filter. For best results, we recommend coffee ground for use with drip  
coffee makers. The chart on the next page provides suggested amounts of ground coffee. Because individual preferences  
vary, you may adjust the amount you use to suit your taste.

6. Push the filter basket holder back to its closed position directly below the black top.  
7. Place the carafe on the warming plate. Be sure the carafe lid is on.  
NOTE: Always remember to center the carafe on the warming plate before turning the unit ON, otherwise brewed  
coffee may flow onto the warming plate or counter.  
8. FOR IMMEDIATE bREWING, press the AUTO ON/OFF button TWICE, see Fig. D. The green ON indicator light will  
come on indicating the coffee is brewing. It will take approximately 8 minutes to brew 10 cups of coffee.  
(FOR DElAyED bREWING, set the programmable timer following the instructions below.)  
Using pause and serve: This feature temporarily holds brewed coffee in the filter basket when the carafe is removed, so  
you can pour a cup of coffee before the entire pot is brewed.  
Note: While you are pouring a cup, coffee continues to brew. The  
Fig. D  
Display window  
lter basket will hold about a minute’s worth of brewed coffee which  
provides sufficient time to pour several cups. After that, to prevent  
damage to the unit, the basket is designed to overflow. Therefore, you  
must be sure to replace the carafe on the warming plate as soon as  
you have finished pouring.

Note: You must first set the clock if you want to use the timer feature. If you plan to use delayed brewing regularly, it is recom-  
mended you leave the unit plugged in, so you do not need to reset the clock and programmed time before each use.  
1. Prepare the coffee maker for brewing as described in steps 1 through 7 beginning on page 3.  
2. Make sure the correct time of day is set. If it is not, follow the instructions this on page.

AUTO ON/OFF button once. you will need to repeat this step each day. As long as the coffee maker was not unplugged  
after the last use or your household did not lose power, the programmed time will be stored in the memory. Press the PROG  
button and the programmed time will be displayed. If the programmed time is not correct, adjust it to the desired time fol-  
lowing step 4 above.  
Cleaning  
1. Turn coffee maker off. Allow to cool before cleaning.  
2. Pull the filter basket holder open. Then, using the handle on the filter basket (see Fig. C, page 3), lift the basket out of the  
basket holder and empty the coffee grounds.  
2. Wash the carafe, carafe lid, and filter basket in the dishwasher (top rack) or wash in warm, sudsy water and rinse. When  
placing the carafe in the dishwasher, be sure there is enough clearance to avoid breakage. Do not clean the carafe with  
cleansers, steel wool pads, or other abrasive material.  
3. Wipe the filter basket holder, the water outlet area (see Fig. B2, page 2), and the exterior housing of the coffee maker with  
a damp cloth to clean. Do not immerse coffee maker in water or any other liquid.  
4. Depending on the hardness of your local water supply, periodically you may need to do a more thorough cleaning to remove  
mineral deposits that have built up inside the water tank. When you notice an increase in the brewing time, this is a sign that  
there may be mineral deposit buildup. You will need to descale the coffee maker. Follow the instructions on the following  
page.

DESCAlING INSTRUCTIONS:  
It is not unusual in drip coffee makers for mineral deposits to build up in the unit. It is caused by minerals commonly found in water.  
Every few months, it is recommended that you follow these steps to remove any mineral deposits that may have formed.  
1. Fill the water tank to the 6-cup level with undiluted white vinegar.  
2. Place a paper filter in the filter basket.  
3. Place the carafe on the warming plate and turn the unit ON. When about 3 cups have brewed through, turn the unit off and  
let it sit for 15 minutes. Note: You may notice some sputtering as the vinegar is running through. This is normal.  
4. Turn unit back on and allow the rest of the vinegar to fill the carafe. Discard vinegar.  
5. After descaling the coffee maker, thoroughly rinse the appliance before brewing coffee. Do this by brewing WATER ONLY  
twice before brewing coffee.  
Note: Commercial coffee maker cleansers can also be used to clean the coffee maker. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.  
Questions and Answers  
Since I use bottled water, can I pour it directly from the bottle into the water tank without using the carafe?  
Yes. To assure accurate filling, however, you will need to watch the water level indicator. As you pour, a little red ball in the  
indicator will rise to indicate the water level.  
After I use the carafe to fill the water tank with cold water, the carafe remains cold. Will this cause the brewed coffee  
to be cooler?  
Any temperature drop is usually negligible because the warming plate begins to heat the carafe as soon as the coffee maker is  
turned on. If the water is quite cool, it may have a very slight effect on the temperature of the brewed coffee, especially if you  
are only brewing a few cups. If this concerns you, after filling the water tank, you may want to rinse the carafe with warm water  
before placing it on the warming plate.  
When I use the pause and serve feature, I notice one or two drips. Is this normal?  
Like most other drip coffee makers, you may see a few drops when you remove the carafe during the brewing process. Most  
drips can be avoided by removing the carafe very slowly.  
I notice it taking longer to brew coffee than when I first got my coffee maker. Why?  
Brewing time can increase due to the buildup of mineral deposits in your coffee maker. These deposits are caused by minerals  
in the water and the amount of buildup varies from one area to another. You should remove these deposits periodically by  
“descaling” your coffee maker. Follow the instructions at the top of this page.  
I wanted to make 10 cups of coffee but, after brewing, the coffee level doesn’t come up to the 10 cup mark as indicated  
on the carafe. Why?  
The markings on the carafe indicate how much water is needed to brew 10 cups of coffee and are provided to aid in the filling  
of the water tank. As is typical of all drip coffee makers, the amount of brewed coffee is less than the amount of water poured  
into the water tank due to the retention of some water in the coffee grounds.  
Why can’t I program a time? Nothing happens when I push the buttons.  
This will occur if the coffee maker is already in the AUTO mode (the red AUTO light will be on). Push the AUTO ON/OFF  
button twice to turn the coffee maker off. You should now be able to program a time.
