Brewing
■ Ensure the brew basket insert and drip stop lever in the bottom of the insert are
clean and that the brew basket insert is in the brew basket.
■ Use either the mesh basket filter (included) or a No. 4 paper filter (not included)
and place into the brew basket insert.
■ Ensure the carafe (included) is clean, empty, and the lid is locked. Make sure the
carafe is in place before brewing. This coffee maker will NOT brew without the
carafe in place. The top of the carafe MUST be engaged with the drip stop lever
on the bottom of the brew basket. If not, the water won't flow into the carafe and
the basket may overflow during the brewing cycle. If the carafe is not in place
when the brewing cycle is selected, the display will show "Err" and the coffee
maker will chime.
■ Water: This coffee maker is designed to use only the amount of water for the
number of cups selected to be brewed. Fill the water reservoir with fresh, clean,
and odorless (free of chlorine and sulfur) water up to the MAX level indicator. DO
NOT overfill the water reservoir. Water should have some minerals for best flavor.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems or distilled water does not have minerals and is
not recommended for coffee brewing.
If there is no water in the reservoir at the start of brewing, an error message (Add
H2O) will show on the display telling you to add water and a chime will sound.
Push the knob to confirm that you are adding water. Once the water is added,
push the knob again to continue brewing. DO NOT add water during brewing
unless the error message is displayed.
■ Coffee: The type of coffee and freshness is a large factor in the flavor, taste and
aroma of brewed coffee. The grind size of the coffee is for brewing using the drip
method.
■ Use the scoop (included) to measure the correct amount of coffee for the number
of cups you are brewing. The measuring scoop is designed for one level scoop of
coffee per 4.5 oz serving of coffee being brewed (4.5 oz of water per serving is
the common measurement for a regular cup of coffee).
Place the coffee into the filter in the brew basket.
TO BREW:
■ After setup of strength and temperature, push the Brew/Select knob. The number
of cups will illuminate on the display along with the last strength that was chosen.
Rotate the Brew/Select knob to choose the number of cups of coffee you want to
brew. Push the Brew/Select knob to confirm. Brewing will start.
