Coffee Yield  
A 5-oz. cup is the American industry standard and is used by most  
coffee maker manufacturers. The Smart Mill & Brew™ Coffee Maker  
brews a maximum of 10 (5-oz.) cups as indicated by the 10 coffee  
cup markings on the Water Window. For best results, we do not  
recommend preparing less than 4 cups (or 20 ounces) of coffee.  
Brewing Coffee: Immediate Start  
1. Fill the Water Reservoir to the 10-cup mark with cold, fresh  
water. Place the Carafe securely onto Warming Plate.  
NOTE: Take care to place the Carafe squarely beneath the  
Brew Chamber. If it is even slightly off center, the Pause &  
Pour feature will prevent brewed coffee from flowing into  
the Carafe and the coffee may overflow.  
2. Press the  
COFFEE/WEATHER Button twice to advance  
to the coffee-only mode. The “Mill & Brew Idle” screen advises  
the unit is not in operation.  
3. Open the Coffee Mill Lid and remove the Filter Basket Lid. Using  
the scoop provided with your Coffee Maker, measure the desired  
amount of roasted whole bean coffee into the Filter Basket. We  
recommend using 1 scoop for every 2 cups of brewed coffee,  
which may be adjusted to suit your individual tastes.  
NOTE: 1 scoop = 1 tablespoon.  
15  
WARNING: The Filter Basket maximum capacity is 8 scoops of  
whole bean coffee. DO NOT EXCEED THE 8-SCOOP MAXIMUM.  
NOTE: 8 scoops = 8 tablespoons maximum.  
4. Replace the Filter Basket Lid, taking care to place it securely on the  
Filter Basket.  
WARNING: The Coffee Maker will not operate  
without the Lids being closed properly. A  
Warning Screen will appear. Replace the  
Coffee Mill Lid and operation will resume.  
NOTE: Ground coffee may be substituted for  
whole coffee beans.  
We recommend using 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of ground coffee beans  
for every brewed cup of coffee, which may be adjusted to suit your  
individual tastes.  
NOTE: When using ground coffee press the MILL Button and set  
Grind Level to “0” (See the following section: “Selecting the Grind  
Level” for complete procedure.)  
Selecting the Grind Level  
1. Press the MILL Button. The Grinder is factory preset to Grind  
Level “0.”  
NOTE: Once the Level has been changed, the Grind Level will  
default to the last Grind Level chosen.  
2. Adjust the Grind Level by pressing the UP or DOWN Button repeatedly.  
“1” is the coarsest grind, “ 7” is the finest. The grind selection will flash  
as it changes. When the Grind Level is set to “0,” Grinder Blades  
are OFF.  
3. When the desired Grind Level appears on the screen, press the  
SELECT Button.  
4. To begin the brewing process, press the ON/OFF Button. The Coffee  
Mill will begin grinding the coffee beans. The “Grinding” screen will  
appear in the coffee information center of the Display during the  
grinding operation. Brewing will begin automatically.  
16  
NOTE: If the Grind Level is set to “0,” when the ON/OFF Button  
is pressed, brewing will begin immediately.  
5. A cup of steaming coffee icon and “ON” will appear in the lower  
pane of the LCD Display during brewing.  
6. When brewing is complete, the WARMING PLATE screen will  
appear. The Warming Plate will keep your coffee at the ideal  
serving temperature for 1 hour. As a safety precaution, the  
Warming Plate will automatically shut off after 1 hour.  
HELPFUL HINT: To stop the brewing process at any time,  
press the ON/OFF Button.  
For Best Results:  
To avoid overflow and water leakage from the back of the Coffee  
Maker, do not fill the Water Reservoir with more than 10 (5-oz.)  
cups of fresh water; do not exceed the 10-cup marking on the  
Water Reservoir.  
• Do not add less than 4 cups (20 ounces) of water to the

User Maintenance  
Instructions  
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable  
parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing requiring disassembly  
must be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.  
Care and Cleaning  
Coffee is naturally oily. A build up of coffee oils on the Coffee Maker will  
adversely affect the taste of new pots of coffee. For best results, completely  
clean and dry all removable parts after every use.  
When cleaning your Coffee Maker, please observe the following precautions:  
• Make sure the Coffee Maker is OFF. Unplug and allow the Coffee Maker  
to cool completely before cleaning.  
NEVER IMMERSE THE CORD, PLUG OR COFFEE MAKER IN  
WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.  
• Do not use metal cleaning pads or abrasive cleaners.  
Daily  
Wash all removable parts in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. If  
necessary, use a small brush, such as a toothbrush, to clean the Carafe Lid,  
the bottom of the Filter Basket and around the Pause & Pour Switch.  
Monthly  
Mineral deposits from tap water can clog the Coffee Maker or reduce its  
efficiency and adversely affect the taste of the coffee. For best coffee  
brewing results, the Coffee Maker should be cleaned once a month with a  
solution of vinegar and water. To remove mineral deposits from the  
Coffee Maker, follow the descaling instructions described below:  
1. Pour 1/2 cup of vinegar into the carafe. Add cold water up to  
the Water Reservoirs 4-cup mark. Pour the vinegar/water  
mixture into the Water Reservoir.  
2. Insert the Filter Basket. DO NOT USE COFFEE!  
3. Make sure the Grind Level is set to “0” to turn the Blades OFF.  
Consult the “Selecting the Grind Level” section of this Owners Manual  
for detailed instructions.  
4. Press the ON/OFF Button to begin the brew cycle.  
5. When the brew cycle is finished, press the ON/OFF Button to turn the  
Coffee Maker OFF. Carefully remove the Carafe and place on a heat  
resistant surface.  
6. Wait 15 minutes. Pour the same vinegar/water solution back into the  
Water Reservoir. Replace the Carafe onto the Warming Plate.  
23  
7. Press the ON/OFF Button to turn the Coffee Maker ON again.  
Allow the vinegar/water solution to cycle through the Coffee  
Maker. When the brew cycle is finished, press the ON/OFF  
Button to turn the Coffee Maker OFF and discard the  
vinegar/water solution.  
8. To rinse: Allow the Coffee Maker to cool for 15 minutes. Fill the  
Carafe with cold fresh water. Pour the water into the Water  
Reservoir. Replace the Carafe onto the Warming Plate and press  
the ON/OFF Button. When the brew cycle is complete discard  
the water. Repeat with another Carafe of fresh water. Discard the  
rinse water.  
9. Wash and dry all removable parts. Wipe the exterior of the  
Coffee Maker with a damp cloth.

Understanding Weather Alerts  
Weather Advisory  
An advisory is for less serious conditions that cause significant  
inconvenience and, if caution is not exercised, could lead to situations  
that may threaten life and/or property.  
Weather Watch  
A watch is used when the risk of a hazardous weather event has  
increased significantly, but its occurrence, locations, and/or timing is  
still uncertain. It is intended to provide advance notice of possible  
inclement weather.  
Weather Warning  
A warning is used for conditions posing an immediate threat to  
life or property. Depending on the type of warning, you should take  
immediate, appropriate action.  
Ultraviolet Index  
This index provides important information to help you plan your  
outdoor activities in ways that prevent overexposure to the sun's rays.  
It was designed by the National Weather Service (NWS) and the

What is an AMBER Alert?  
The AMBER Alert Plan is a voluntary partnership between law-  
enforcement agencies and broadcasters to activate an urgent  
bulletin in the most serious child-abduction cases.  
Broadcasters use the Emergency Alert System (EAS), formerly called  
the Emergency Broadcast System, to air a description of the  
missing child and suspected abductor.  
This is the same concept used during severe weather emergencies.  
The goal of the AMBER Alert is to instantly galvanize the entire  
community to assist in the search for and safe return of the child.  
Alert information is put together for public distribution. This  
information can include descriptions and pictures of the missing  
child, the suspected abductor, a suspected vehicle, and any other  
information available and valuable to identifying the child and  
suspect.
