How to Remove and Attach Coffee Basket  
Swing-Out Basket: To remove basket, swing open,  
then lift basket up while sliding bottom out of attachment  
hole. See Diagram 1. To attach basket, first open  
reservoir cover to locate hole on top side of coffeemaker.  
Then insert top pin of basket into this hole and align  
bottom pin into hole below. Basket will drop in  
place and swing freely when attached.  
Slide-Out Basket: To remove basket, pull forward  
using handle. To attach basket, slide edge into guides  
at top until basket stops. See Diagram 2.  
Making Coffee  
1. Always use coffeemaker on a dry , level, heat-resistant surface away from any edge.  
2. Place correct shaped paper filter into basket: a #2 size cone filter into swing-out basket; a fluted cupcake shaped  
filter into slide-out basket.  
Add 1 tablespoon automatic drip or “all grind” coffee into basket for each cup being made. Shake basket gently to  
level grounds. Attach basket. Amount of coffee may be adjusted to suit your personal taste preference, but do not  
use more than 2 tablespoons per cup.  
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or property damage due to overflow of basket, ALWAYS use a paper filter  
when brewing coffee and clean the basket, drain hole in bottom of the basket and pause ‘n serve before each use. If  
basket overflows, to prevent personal injury and/or property damage, unplug coffeemaker and allow it to cool before  
removing basket.  
SPECIAL NOTE ON GRINDING COFFEE BEANS  
If grinding your own coffee beans, grind to medium coarseness for best results. DO NOT grind to fine (powder-  
like) as this can cause basket to flood.  
3. Fill carafe with COLD water to desired cup level as indicated by cup markings on carafe. Do not make less than  
2 or more than 4 cups of coffee at one time. Pour water into reservoir and close cover. Attach cover to carafe.  
Place covered carafe on warming plate.  
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or property damage, always keep cover on carafe during brewing as cover  
opens pause lever on bottom of basket which allows coffee to flow into carafe. If cover is not used, basket will  
flood.  
4. Plug cord into a 120 volt AC electrical outlet ONLY. Turn on. Red area on control will be visible when  
coffeemaker is on.  
CAUTION: Your coffee maker has a short cord as a safety precaution to prevent personal injury or property  
damage resulting from pulling, tripping or becoming entangled with the cord. Do not allow children to be near or  
use this coffeemaker without close adult supervision. If you must use a longer cord set or an extension cord when  
using this coffeemaker, the cord must be arranged so it will not drape or hang over the edge of a countertop, tabletop  
or surface are where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. To prevent electrical shock, personal injury, or  
fire, the electrical rating of the extension cord you use must be the same or more than the wattage of the coffeemaker  
(wattage is stamped on the underside of coffeemaker).

5. Allow coffeemaker to complete brew cycle. When coffee stops dripping from basket, coffee is ready. Four cups  
of coffee takes about 8 minutes to brew. The amount of coffee obtained will be slightly less than the amount of  
water used (5 ounces) as some water is absorbed by the coffee grounds. Remove carafe from base to serve. Coffee  
will stay hot as long as coffeemaker remains on. After serving, turn coffee maker off and unplug cord from  
electrical outlet.  
6. Remove basket and discard grounds and paper filter.  
7. If brewing another carafe of coffee immediately, allow coffeemaker to cool about 2 minutes after being turned  
OFF. Rinse carafe and basket, then repeat Steps 1 through 6 above for brewing coffee. Remember to use COLD  
water for brewing to reset the thermostat.  
Using Pause ‘n Serve Feature  
Your coffeemaker includes a built-in Pause’n Serve feature which allows you to pour a cup of coffee while it is  
being brewed. For optimum flavor, allow at least half the quantity of coffee to finish brewing before removing the  
carafe to pour a cup. When the carafe is removed, coffee will automatically stop flowing from the basket. Return  
the carafe to the warming plate immediately (within 15 seconds) after the carafe is removed to prevent possible  
flooding of the basket. Do not remove any part of coffeemaker, other than the carafe, during the brewing cycle as  
scalding could occur.  
Heating Water For Instant Beverages  
Water may be heated in coffeemaker for use with instant beverages. Simply place empty coffee basket in place and  
add cold water to carafe to desired cup level. Pour water into reservoir and place covered carafe on warming plate.  
Plug coffeemaker in and turn ON. Allow hot water to cycle into carafe,. Pour hot water into cups containing  
recommended amount of instant mix. Mix may also be added to hot water in carafe if desired. Based on 5-ounce  
servings, follow package directions for amount of instant mix to use. Stir mix with a wooden spoon to dissolve.  
Turn coffee maker OFF and unplug cord from outlet after serving.  
Brewing Tea  
Tea may be brewed in coffeemaker using tea bags (with strings removed) or loose tea leaves. Place correct shaped  
paper filter into basket. Add tea to basket using recommended amount for each 5-ounce cup being prepared. Attach  
basket. Fill carafe with cold water to the desired cup level and pour into water reservoir. Place covered carafe on  
warming plate. Plug coffeemaker into electrical outlet and turn ON. After tea is served, turn coffeemaker OFF and  
unplug cord from outlet.  
Cleaning Coffeemaker  
Always turn coffeemaker OFF, unplug cord from electrical outlet and allow to cool before cleaning.  
1. Wash carafe, cover and basket in hot soapy water with a dishcloth or sponge, rinse and dry. To remove cover  
from carafe, open cover and gently twist cover off handle. To replace cover onto carafe, place pivot lever tab over  
pin on top of carafe handle. Push down gently until cover is secured onto carafe handle. See Diagrams below.  
Never use nylon or metal scouring pads or abrasive cleansers on carafe as scratching can occur which can cause  
glass to break.  
2. Wipe plastic outside of coffeemaker, warming plate and underside of water spreader with a damp soapy cloth,  
wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry.

CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or electric shock, do not immerse coffeemaker base, its cord or plug in  
water or other liquid.  
If coffeemaker is turned upside down when cleaning, use caution as hot water may flow from the reservoir or  
spreader area.  
Dishwasher Cleaning  
The carafe, cover and basket can be cleaned in an automatic dishwasher, TOP RACK ONLY. To prevent  
scratching, place pieces into dishwasher rack so they do not touch one another or other objects being cleaned.  
Special Cleaning of Carafe  
Normal washing of carafe by hand or in a dishwasher will remove most coffee stains. However, if stubborn stains  
form, remove by scouring with a damp soft cloth and Bon Ami® non-abrasive cleanser to prevent scratching. After  
cleaning, wash in hot soapy water, rinse and dry.  
Never use nylon or metal scouring pads or abrasive cleansers on carafe as scratching can occur which can  
cause glass to break.  
Special Cleaning of Coffeemaker To Remove Mineral Deposits  
Minerals in water will naturally build up in the heating unit, pump and water spreader during use. These deposits  
must be removed every 30 days (if coffeemaker is used daily) to prevent clogging of these parts which can affect  
performance of coffeemaker. More frequent cleaning may be necessary if the water in your area is very hard.  
Follow these steps for special cleaning of your coffeemaker.  
1. Place correct shaped paper filter into coffee basket, then attach basket to coffeemaker.  
2. Pour white distilled vinegar into carafe to the 3-cup level. Slowly pour vinegar into water reservoir. Place  
covered carafe onto warming plate. Plug coffeemaker into outlet and turn ON. Allow vinegar to cycle into carafe.  
Turn coffeemaker OFF and unplug cord from outlet. Pour vinegar back into water reservoir. Allow to cool 15 to 20  
minutes. Repeat above procedure 4 to 5 times to thoroughly clean parts. If coffeemaker does not turn back on  
between cleanings, allow to cool longer to reset the thermostat.  
3. Discard vinegar after cleaning. Fill carafe with cold water to the 4-cup level and cycle through assembled  
coffeemaker to rinse the parts.  
4. Turn coffeemaker OFF, unplug cord from outlet and allow to cool. Wash carafe, cover and basket in hot soapy  
water, rinse and dry. Wipe outside of coffeemaker with a damp cloth and dry.  
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or electric shock, do not immerse coffeemaker base, its cord or plug in  
water or other liquid.  
Exercise caution if coffeemaker base is turned upside down when wiping as hot water may flow from the reservoir  
or spreader area.
