Before the first use of the coffeemaker wash the brew basket, the permanent gold-tone

filter, the carafe and carafe lid in either the top rack of your dishwasher, or by hand

in warm, sudsy water.

The exterior of the coffeemaker, the control panel area and the warming plate should
only be cleaned with a soft damp cloth.

NOTE: NEVER clean the warming plate unless it is completely cool.

NOTE: DO NOT use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads when cleaning

your coffeemaker. NEVER immerse the coffeemaker in water or any liquid.

After all parts are washed for the first time, pour cold water up to the 12 cup level mark
in the water reservoir. Brew it through as instructed in BREWING COFFEE, but do not

add coffee beans to the hopper or coffee grounds to the paper filter. When done, turn
off the coffeemaker and discard used filter and water from the carafe. This will remove

any possible residue left over from the manufacturing process.

NOTE: Allow the bean grinder to grind free of beans for this initial use.

The easy-to-use programmable digital controls let you know when the coffee is ready,
and even keep track of the freshness of each brewed carafe, shutting off after 2 hours.

It's never been easier to brew the perfect cup of coffee.

BREWING COFFEE

,

Press the Open button
on the side of the unit and

swing out the Filter
Basket Door (See Fig. 2).

.

Fill the water reservoir with
cold water. You can use the

coffee carafe to fill with 0
the amount of water you

require. There is a gauge

for 2 to 12 cups

(270ml to 1730ml) on both

the water reservoir window
and on the glass carafe.

These markings apply for the amount of fresh water. The amount of brewed coffee
will differ slightly, as the coffee grinds absorb some water. Be sure to add no
more than 12 cups, or the carafe may overflow.

.

Place a number 4 basket paper filter or the permanent gold-tone filter into the Filter
Basket. You can use both the paper filter and the gold-tone filter. Using the gold-tone

filter alone will allow some fine grounds to fall into the coffee carafe. This will appear

as sediment in the carafe.

front of the coffeemaker. If you don't, the handle may interfere with the flow

of coffee from the grinder into the filter basket.

.

Remove the Hopper Lid and fill the Hopper Fig. 3
with beans. Be sure that you have enough
coffee beans in the Hopper for the amount of coffee

you intend to brew. The Hopper should always be

kept at least half full of beans (maximum capacity for
Hopper is about 1/2 lb.) Do not over-pack the Hopper.

Over-packing could jam the grinder (see Fig. 3).

Turn the Grind Selector Knob to choose

.

the size of the coffee grounds, coarse,
medium or fine (see Fig. 3a).

,

Plug in the appliance. The LCD
display window lights up blue and
the coffeemaker beeps for about

2 seconds to let you know the
clock is not set. The clock does

not have to be set to brew

coffee. To set the clock time,

see SETTING THE CLOCK,

TIMER AND AUTO-BREWING.

Each time you turn the unit on, the message, Check Basket shows up in the LCD
display window. This is a reminder to see if used grounds are still in the filter basket.
To remove the message, push the ON/Off button.

.

Choose the amount of cups you

intend to make by pressing the

2- 12 Cup Button.

Press button until the desired

number of cups is highlighted in

LCD display window (see Fig. 4).

The coffeemaker will grind the

corresponding amount of beans.

It will also automatically adjust for
low cup settings.

.

To select the strength of the coffee,

press the Strength button until the
desired strength (mild, medium,
strong) is highlighted in the LCD

display window (see Fig. 5).

.

To use pre-ground coffee, Push
the Grind Off button to disable the

grinder feature. The Grind Off
button will stay backlit. Add ground
coffee to the paper or gold-tone
filter. The amount of coffee you use

is a matter of personal taste. For an
average strong coffee, one

measuring spoon (approx. 4-5g)
is sufficient per cup (150ml).
