5. Making coffee

1- Place the coffee maker on a hard, flat surface.

With the coffeemaker turned off, plug the machine into a 120V outlet.

2- Fill the carafe with fresh, cold water

(preferably bottled or filtered water). Open the hinged cover and pour the water into the water tank. The number of cups is shown by the water level indicator. Do not exceed the

maximum level

(Fig. 1, 2 and 3).

3- Place the carafe with its lid on to the heating

plate (h) making sure it is secure on the heating plate to activate the pouring mechanism.

CAUTION: To avoid overflowing the filter holder, the carafe must fit securely into the coffeemaker with the lid on. If not properly positioned on the heating plate, it could cause hot water or hot coffee to overflow.

4- Open the coffee maker lid (b), insert the filter

holder (i) by using the two handles on either side. Make sure it is securely pushed down and locked into place. Then insert a standard #4 cone paper filter or the permanent filter (j) into the filter holder (i). Use a fresh paper filter or clean the permanent filter for each

carafe of coffee

(Fig. 4 and 5).

5- Add about 2 ounces of ground coffee for 12

cups. Experiment with the amount of coffee used in order to adjust the flavor to your taste. Do not exceed the maximum level

(Fig. 6).

closed

(Fig. 7).

7. Press the On/Off button (k). The button will

illuminate, indicating that your coffee maker has begun the brewing cycle.

Note: The amount of brewed coffee will be less than the water placed in the coffeemaker since about 10% is absorbed by the coffee grounds and the filter.

TF_COFFEEMAKER_KM740_NC00115301_NAFTA_EXE 12/09/12 11:26 Page6

CAUTION: The coffee maker becomes very hot during the brew cycle. Please handle with care.

8- When the brewing cycle is completed, the

On/Off button (k) will stay illuminated as the keep warm cycle starts. The keep warm

button (l) will illuminate orange

(Fig. 8).

The anti drip valve will prevent any remaining coffee dripping onto the hot plate. Ensure that the carafe is replaced on the hot plate after serving.

During keep warm mode, bars on the outside of the clock face indicate how long

ago the coffee was brewed

(Fig. 9).

Notes: When the brewing cycle is finished, there

will still be hot liquid in the filter basket. Wait a few minutes for the rest of the liquid to drip through into the carafe.

- The keep warm function will operate for up to two hours. During the keep warm cycle, the On/Off button (k) will stay illuminated as well

as the keep warm button (l). At any time you can stop the keep warm cycle just by pressing the On/Off button (k). The LED will switch off and the LCD will display the clock again.

9- Open the top lid and carefully remove the

filter holder by grasping the tabs on each side of the filter holder, and lifting straight up from the filter holder. Discard the used coffee filter and grounds. If you use the permanent filter, wash it immediatly (see section 7

CLEANING)

(Fig. 10 and 11).

Note: At any time during the brewing cycle, you can turn the coffee maker off by simply pressing the On/Off button (k). No buttons will be illuminated, indicating that the coffee maker is off.

Note: If two or more pots of coffee are to be made it is recommended that the coffeemaker be allowed to cool for 3 minutes between each brewed pot.

TF_COFFEEMAKER_KM740_NC00115301_NAFTA_EXE 12/09/12 11:26 Page8

Pause & serve

• This feature allows you to interrupt the brewing cycle and pour a cup of coffee before the entire carafe is finished brewing.

While this will temporarily stop the coffee from dripping into the carafe, it does not stop the brewing cycle. After serving, the carafe should be immediately returned to the heating plate to prevent the filter holder from overflowing. Make sure the carafe is positioned firmly against the back of the coffee maker. Dot not remove the carafe for longer than 30 seconds.

• This coffee maker allows you to adjust the

Stay Warm Setting to slightly reduce the temperature of the coffee after it has brewed.

• When brewing the coffee, a steady orange

light will appear on the keep warm button (l). To reduce the Keep Warm setting, press the

keep warm button (l) once, and the steady orange light will then blink.

• This setting should be used when the carafe is

half full or less, to ensure the coffee quality is maintained.

• The Stay Warm setting will continue to

operate as long as the unit is on and will shut off automatically after two hours.

• When you begin to brew a new pot of coffee,

the steady orange light will reappear, indicating the coffee maker will maintain the temperature of the higher Stay Warm Setting.

7. Cleaning

• To remove the used coffee grounds, remove the filter holder from the coffeemaker.

(Fig 10).

• Unplug the appliance.

• Do not clean the appliance when it is still hot.

• Wash carafe, carafe lid and removable filter

NOTE: While the pause and serve feature is a convenient way to pour a cup of coffee mid-cycle, we recommend you wait until the brewing cycle is complete as the strength and flavor of coffee poured mid-cycle will vary from the finished brew.

TF_COFFEEMAKER_KM740_NC00115301_NAFTA_EXE 12/09/12 11:26 Page9

holder in hot, soapy water or place it in the top rack of the diswasher.

• Clean with a soft cloth or a damp sponge. Never use harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners on any part of the coffee maker.

• To clean the stainless steel parts of your coffee maker, rinse a soft cloth or sponge in warm water and squeeze out the excess water. Wipe the surface of the stainless steel in the direction of the brush marks. Dry thoroughly and polish with a soft dry cloth.

• For hard to remove stains, use a plastic mesh pad or cloth damped in vinegar.

• Do not immerse the appliance in water or place it under running water.

8. Descaling

• Calcium build-up frequently occurs in drip coffeemakers. This build-up is normal and is caused by minerals commonly found in drinking water. Periodically, your coffeemaker will need cleaning to remove calcium or mineral deposits that may form. You will know when your unit will need descaling when you notice an obvious slow down in brewing time.

• We recommend descaling your unit with a solution of white vinegar and cold water or a suitable descaling agent. A solution of two tablespoons of white vinegar to one carafe of cold water works best. Pour this solution into the water tank, and follow your normal operating instructions, without a filter in the filter basket.

• When the brew cycle is finished, empty the carafe and rinse with water. Refill the water reservoir with cold water only and repeat the brew cycle with water only, twice more. This will rinse out any remaining vinegar solution.

NOTE: Do not place any other part of the coffee maker in the dishwasher.

TF_COFFEEMAKER_KM740_NC00115301_NAFTA_EXE 12/09/12 11:26 Page10

- We strongly recommend decalcifying your

coffee maker any time the brewing time slows down or when you begin to notice excessive steaming. The frequency of decalcifying will depend on the hardness of your water. We suggest decalcifying approximately every 80 brew cycles if you have soft water or every 40 brew cycles if you have hard water.
