with a warming plate to keep your coffee hot
for up to two hours.

and pour your coffee grounds into a Krups

"Stop 'n Serve" feature

The "Stop' n Serve" feature is KRUPSanswer
to the impatient coffee drinker's clamor for" a
quick cup of coffee!" This device
automatically stops the flow of brewed coffee
through the filter cone if the glasscarafe is
removed from the warming plate during the

brewing cycle. You have about 20 seconds
between the removal of the carafe and its

being reinserted to pour one or two cups of
coffee. The "Stop'n Serve" device closesoff
the filter cone so effectively that there is
virtually no coffee-drip onto the waming
plate. Once the carafe isreplaced, the
brewing cycle and the flow of coffee into the
carafe are resumed.

&

If coffee does drip onto the warming plate
after removal of the carafe, it is usually an
indication that too much ground coffee has
been placed into the paper filter. This causes
the water that jets into the filter cone to
overflow between the paper filter and the

sidesof the filter cone. The overflow carries
coffee grounds that interfere with the

snapshut action of the filter holder, thus
allowing brewed coffee to continue to drip
through.

If this blockage and subsequent dripping do
occur, replacethe glasscarafe immediately
and allow the full brewing cycleto run its
course, Do not remove the filter until the
brewing cycle iscompleted.
