3. Pause & Pour

Stops the flow of coffee from the Brew Chamber when the Carafe

is removed from the Warming Plate to allow a cup to be poured in

mid-brew, if desired. Since the extraction rate varies during the brew

cycle, we recommend allowing the brewing cycle to finish before

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.

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.

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

Water Reservoir.

• Do not add more than than 8 scoops of whole bean coffee to the

Filter Basket.

• To keep coffee hot, return the Carafe to the Warming Plate

after serving.

• The Coffee Mill is intended for COFFEE ONLY. Never grind any

other food products or spices in the Coffee Mill.

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 Reservoir’s 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 Owner’s Manual

for detailed instructions.
