BEFORE
YOUR
FIRST
BREW
You’ll need to prime your
system by running two
Full Carafe brew cycles,
using only fresh water.
With your brewer plugged
in and powered on, fill the
reservoir with fresh water
up to, but not exceeding,
the Max Fill line. Place the
empty carafe under the
brew basket, then select
Full Carafe and Classic Brew.
When the first cycle is
complete, discard the water
in the carafe and repeat.
After completing two
water-only priming cycles,
you’ll be ready to brew
delicious coee.
HIGH-ALTITUDE
CALIBRATION BREW
(Optional, but recommended for
users in high-altitude areas.)
Because water boils at lower
temperatures at higher altitudes,
running a calibration cycle before
your first brew allows the unit to
detect the boiling point of water
at your location. Refer to the
Owner’s Guide for instructions.
FILL TO TH E MAX LINE
Fill up to, but do not exceed, the Max Fill line.
