Your Fast Brew™Coffee Maker has a 10-cup capacity. A 5-ounce cup is the American industry standard and is used by most coffee maker manufacturers.Your favorite mug will accommodate about 2 cups (or 10 oz.) of coffee.We do not recommend preparing less than 4 cups (or 20 oz.) of coffee.

Brewing

2. Make sure the appliance is off; the indicator light will be dark.

the level of w ater required to brew the desired n umber of cups. Remove the snap-on lid of the carafe by gently pulling up. Fill the carafe with cold, fresh tap water. Snap the lid back into position.

NOTE: Brewing less than 4 cups is not recommended.

4. Raise the hinged lid located on top of the appliance. Slowly

pour water into the water chamber.

#4 Cone Paper Filter into the removable filter holder and add coffee grounds. Use approximately 1 measuring spoon of grounds for every (5 oz.) cup of coffee. Press down lightly on filter holder to be sure it is properly seated.

6. Close lid and adjust the brew strength selector for your coffee preference. To ensure optimum flavor, the brew strength selector regulates the brewing process based upon the flow of the water into the filter holder. For stronger coffee, turn the selector to the left.For weaker coffee position to the right, and for medium strength coffee position the dial midway between strong and light.
