TIMER CONTROL section.
7. To pour a cup of coffee before the brew cycle is complete, simply remove the
carafe from the warming plate and pour (see SNEAK-A-CUP® INTERRUPT FEATURE).
Brewing will continue but dripping will automatically pause. Return the carafe to
the warming plate within 1 minute; dripping will resume.
Caution: To prevent injury when utilizing Sneak-A-Cup® Interrupt feature, replace
carafe within 1 minute of removing during brewing process.
8. Upon completion of the brew cycle, wait until dripping has stopped before
removing the carafe. The carafe lid should be kept in place to facilitate safe serving.
9. To brew another carafe of coffee, turn unit OFF and wait 10 minutes to allow
heating element to cool.
Important: If the unit is not allowed to cool before immediate repeated use,
water placed in water reservoir may become overheated and a spray of steam
may be released from the opening, creating a risk of burns.
10. When not in use, unplug the base from the wall outlet. Allow the unit to cool
completely before cleaning (see CARE AND CLEANING Instructions).
BREWING A SECOND POT OF COFFEE
As mentioned above, it is recommended that the coffeemaker should be OFF for
10 minutes between cycles, in order to allow unit to cool. While the unit is OFF, dispose
of the used coffee filter and rinse the carafe, permanent filter and the removable filter
basket in water. Then repeat the brewing procedure.
SNEAK-A-CUP® INTERRUPT FEATURE
You can pour a cup of coffee while coffee is brewing without leaking from the
brew basket. When finished pouring coffee, place the carafe under brew basket. The
brewing process continues.
Important: To avoid possible overflow after removing the carafe, be sure to
replace the carafe under the filter basket within 1 minute to prevent the basket
from overflowing.
USING THE TIMER CONTROL
Your coffeemaker has a built in multifunction timer. The following sections describe
the proper use of the timer.
Setting The Clock
To set the clock, simply press the HOUR and MIN buttons. First press the HOUR button
until the desired hour has been reached. Make sure the proper “AM/PM” indicator
is shown on the left side of the LCD display. Press the MIN button until the desired
minutes have been reached. You may press and hold the HOUR or MIN buttons to
display the correct time more rapidly.
Note: Unplugging the unit will reset the clock to 12:00.
AUTO ON FEATURE
To pre-set your coffeemaker to begin brewing at a later time, first follow steps 15 in the Brewing Instructions section. Check to make sure that the clock is set to
the correct time. If it is not, follow the above instructions to set the clock. Press the
PROGRAM Button once, the LCD Display will flash “PROGRAM”. Press the HOUR and
MIN Buttons until the desired brew time is reached. Make sure the proper “AM/PM”
appears on the left side of the LCD display. Press the AUTO ON button. The green
“AUTO” light will illuminate in the upper right corner and the pre-set brew time will be
displayed momentarily, indicating that the coffeemaker is now waiting for the pre-set
brew time to be reached before it begins the brewing cycle.
Note: If the AUTO ON button is pressed during the brewing process, the brewing will
stop and the unit will turn off.
To Cancel Auto On: Press the AUTO ON button and the green light will shut off. To
re-set the Auto On time so the unit will turn on at the same pre-set time the next day,
press the AUTO ON button and the green “AUTO” light will illuminate.
Note: The Auto On feature will turn off after completing the brewing process at the
pre-set brew time. The AUTO ON button must be pressed after each use in order for
the unit to turn on at the same pre-set time the following day.
Note: In the event of a power outage or if the unit is unplugged, the clock will reset to
12:00 and the Auto On feature will have to be reprogrammed.
BREW STRENGTH FEATURE
Use the Brew Strength feature when you plan on brewing only a small amount of
coffee. This feature slows down the brewing process so that the smaller amount of
coffee will have the same taste quality as when you brew an entire carafe. The Brew
Strength feature can be activated before the unit is turned ON or during the brewing
process by pressing the BREW STRENGTH button. When this feature is activated, a
coffee cup icon will be displayed in the LCD display.
Note: To deactivate the Brew Strength feature, press the BREW STRENGTH button
again and the coffee cup icon will disappear.
AUTO SHUT-OFF FEATURE
As an added convenience, your coffeemaker has been designed with an Auto Shut-Off
feature. When the brewing cycle is complete, the coffeemaker will automatically shut
off after 2 hours.
HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE
• A clean coffeemaker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regular cleaning,
as specified in Care and Cleaning is highly recommended. Always use fresh, cool
water in your coffeemaker. Finer grinds, such as drip and ADC coffee, promote fuller
extraction and provide rich, full-bodied coffee. Regular grinds will require slightly
more coffee per cup to provide the strength of a finer grind.
• Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep it tightly sealed
in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. For optimum coffee, buy whole beans and
grind them just before brewing.
• Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair coffee flavor.
• Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after
brewing.
• Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed, black coffee is due to the extraction of
oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted
coffees are used. Over extraction may also cause oiliness, indicating a need to clean
your coffeemaker.
