Before You Use Your Coffee Maker
Before preparing coffee in your new Coffee Maker, thoroughly clean
the Carafe, Carafe Lid and Removable Cone Filter Basket in hot,
sudsy water. Rinse and dry. Replace disassembled parts. Clean the
inside of the Coffee Maker by brewing two full Carafes of tap water
(see “Brewing Instructions” below).
NOTE: At the end of first cycle, turn Coffee Maker off and wait ten
minutes. Turn unit on and brew second Carafe of water.
Coffee Yield
10-Cup Coffee Maker: 10 (5 oz.) cups.
NOTE: A 5oz. cup is the American industry standard and is used by
most Coffee Maker manufacturers. To fill your favorite mug, fill
Coffee Maker reservoir with enough water for 2 cups (10 oz.).
Coffee Filters
Cone-shaped paper filters are available locally at grocery stores and
where Coffee Makers are sold. Standard #4 filters should be used.
The use of basket-style paper filters is not recommended, since they
do not conform to the shape of the Filter Basket and may cause
coffee to back up and spill over during brewing.
Aroma Control Selector Dial
Use this Dial to choose lighter or stronger
strength of brew. To ensure optimum flavor,
the Aroma Control Selector Dial regulates
the brewing process. When preparing coffee,
turn the Aroma Control Selector Dial to the
desired strength. If a stronger strength is
selected, this will slow down the flow of
water into the Removable Cone Filter Basket
to provide a rich coffee flavor by promoting
a better saturation of grounds.
NOTE: For stronger or milder coffee,
adjust amount of coffee to suit your taste.

Brewing Instructions
1. Plug Coffee Maker into any 120V AC electrical outlet.
2. Fill Carafe with cold tap water and pour into Water Chamber.
Markings on the Water Window indicate level of water required
to brew desired number of cups. No less than two cups is
recommended.
NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee will always be less than
the amount of water placed into Coffee Maker, since about 10%
is absorbed by coffee grounds and filter.
3. Place a #4 paper cone-shaped filter in Removable Cone Filter
Basket. Replace Removable Cone Filter Basket in the Filter Basket
Holder. Measure one level tablespoon of drip or regular grind
coffee for each cup of coffee desired.
4. Set the Aroma Control Selector Dial to your desired brew strength.
5. Close the Lid.
6. Place Carafe on Warming Plate.
7. Switch Power Button to ON (I).
8. If you wish to serve a cup of coffee before brew cycle is
completed, simply remove Carafe from Warming Plate. Dripping
will automatically cease. Return Carafe to position on Warming
Plate within 60 seconds; dripping will resume.
9. Upon completion of the brew cycle, wait about one minute until
the brew dripping from the Filter Basket Holder into the Carafe
has stopped. Carafe Lid should be kept in place to facilitate safe
serving and help keep coffee at proper serving temperature.
10. To keep coffee hot, return Carafe to the Warming Plate after
serving. The Warming Plate will automatically cycle to maintain
ideal serving temperature as long as the Coffee Maker is ON.
11. Switch Coffee Maker to OFF (O) when Carafe is empty or when unit
is not in use.
12. To brew another Carafe of coffee, turn unit OFF and wait 10
minutes to allow heating element to cool.
IMPORTANT: If unit is not allowed to cool before immediate
repeated use, water placed in Water Chamber may become
overheated and a spray of steam could be released from
opening, creating a risk of burns.

Brewing a Second Pot of Coffee
As mentioned above, it is recommended that the Coffee Maker should
be in OFF (O) position for 10 minutes between cycles, in order to allow
unit to cool. While unit is in OFF position, dispose of used coffee
grounds, rinse Carafe and dispose of #4 filter.
Repeat the brewing procedure.
Hints for Great Tasting Coffee
• A clean Coffee Maker is essential for making great tasting coffee.
Regular cleaning, as specified in “Care and Cleaning” section is
highly recommended.
• Always use fresh, cold water in your Coffee Maker.
• Finer grinds, such as drip and ADC coffee, promote fuller
extraction and provide rich, full-bodied coffee. Regular grind 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 finely 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 Coffee Maker.

Descaling
Special cleaning of your Coffee Maker is recommended at least once a
month, depending on frequency of use and quality of water used in
the unit. If water in your area is especially hard, the following
cleaning procedure should be performed every two weeks, since
minerals in water can detract from the flavor of the coffee and
possibly lengthen brew time.
1. Fill Carafe with one part white vinegar to three parts cold water.
Pour water and vinegar solution into the Water Chamber.
2. Place a clean #4 paper filter in the Removable Cone Filter Basket.
Replace Removable Cone Filter Basket in the Filter Basket Holder
and close the Lid. Place Carafe on Warming Plate. Switch Power
Button to ON (I). During cleaning, more steam will occur than
during normal brewing.
3. KEEP THE COFFEE MAKER ON UNTIL CARAFE IS HALF FULL. Switch
Power Button to OFF (O). When liquid stops dripping from Filter
Basket Holder into the Carafe, remove the Carafe and allow liquid
to cool in the Carafe for 10 minutes. When cooled, pour liquid
back into the Water Chamber.
4. Return Carafe to Warming Plate.
5. Switch Power Button to ON (I). Repeat procedure, allowing all the
cleaning solution to empty into the Carafe. After dripping has
stopped, discard contents of Carafe.
6. After allowing Coffee Maker to cool for 10 minutes, rinse it out by
brewing a Carafe full of cold water. Make sure to insert a clean #4
paper filter into the Removable Cone Filter Basket before brewing.
7. At end of brew cycle, switch Power Button to OFF (O). Discard
water in the Carafe. Wash Carafe, Carafe Lid, and Removable Cone
Filter Basket in hot sudsy water. Dry parts.
8. When Coffee Maker has cooled, wipe exterior with a dry cloth.
