commercial performance to the home, combining outstanding construction and
durability with features that make brewing abundant amounts of
superb coffee easy.
The commercial 1350 watt stainless steel heat pump
brews quickly, providing exceptionally smooth and
flavorful coffee. The elegant die-cast metal housing and
stainless steel brew basket will stand up to the heaviest use.

capacity and flexibility. The warming plates have two temperature selections: “low” preserves the flavor
of coffee served at a leisurely pace, while “high” keeps coffee piping hot.
An easy-to-set digital brew timer makes waking up to fresh coffee every morning simple. After brewing,
keep an eye on coffee freshness with the handy “Time Since Brewing” display. And don’t worry about
leaving the Coffee Maker on: it automatically shuts off two hours after brewing.

Continued…
12-Cup Glass Carafes
Carafes feature drip-free pouring, comfortable
handles, and removable lids that snap in and out.
Orange and black lids can be alternated to indicate
regular or decaffeinated coffee.
Warming Plate Temperature Switch
Keep coffee heated to taste: “low” preserves the
flavor of coffee served at a leisurely pace, while
“high” keeps coffee piping hot.
Portable Warming Plate
The portable warming plate can be used
next to the coffee maker or moved to a separate
serving location. Select “low” or “high” warming
temperatures with the front-mounted switch;
indicator lights show temperature selected. The switch also turns
the warming plate off.
Brew Timer Display and
Timer Adjustment Buttons
Digital display shows the AM or PM time-of-day
along with the water level, sound, and filter icons.
The easy-to-set brew timer will brew coffee at the
selected time, day or night. “Flicker protection” ensures that the
timer and clock will maintain settings during a momentary power
outage. The “+” and “–” timer adjustment buttons set the brew
timer and clock.
Auto-On/Off Switch
To switch the coffee maker on or off, turn
the auto-on/off switch momentarily to the “On/Off”
position. To activate or deactivate the automatic brew
timer, turn the switch momentarily to the “Auto”
position. Indicator lights show when the coffee maker is on or the
brew timer is activated. The coffee maker or brew timer cannot be
switched on if there are fewer than 4 cups (17 oz.) of brew water in
the reservoir.
Program-Clock Switch
The program-clock switch is used with the timer
adjustment buttons to program the brew timer and
set the time-of-day clock. To enter the clock-setting
mode, turn the program-clock switch momentarily
to the “Clock” position. To program the brew timer, turn the
program-clock switch momentarily to the “Prog” position.
Time Since Brewing Display
Display shows coffee freshness at a glance. 30, 60,
90, and 120-minute quadrants light up to indicate
the time elapsed since the last carafe was brewed.
Water Level Icons
Icons on the brew timer display show whether the
water reservoir is low, medium, or full.
12
Water Filter Icon
Icon appears on the brew timer display when the
water filter needs to be replaced.
Sound Level Icon
Icon is displayed when message tones are enabled.
Message Tones
Convenient message tones instantly communicate coffee maker
status. The coffee maker will beep three times when a brewing
cycle is complete. If the coffee maker is turned on or the brew
timer is activated without sufficient water in the reservoir, the
coffee maker will beep once; it will also beep once when the
reservoir is near full during filling. Message tone volume can be
set high or low, or turned off for silent operation.
Automatic Shutoff
Coffee maker shuts off two hours after the last carafe is brewed.
Stainless Steel Heat Pump
The 1350 watt heat pump brews quickly, providing exceptionally
smooth and flavorful coffee. The commercial stainless steel
construction minimizes calcium build-up for maximum durability.
Advanced Ion-Exchange Water Filter
Replaceable filter reduces chlorine and other
contaminants which impair coffee flavor. Filter
also softens the water, which extends the time
between descalings.
Quiet Finish™ Brewing
The advanced brew system design reduces noisy hissing and
gurgling throughout the brewing cycle.
Optional Gold Tone Permanent Filter
The gold tone filter eliminates the need for paper coffee filters. The
fine, gold tone metal screen delivers exceptional brewing performance.
