the tab at the front of the lid.

USING THE COFFEE MAKER

2Put the charcoal filter into the filter

assembly. Snap to close.

INSTALLING THE WATER FILTER

IMPORTANT: Every time you install a new

water filter, run the Coffee Maker through

a complete brew cycle without coffee.

Use a full carafe of clean, cool water.

Place the charcoal filter in a

container filled with fresh, cool

water. The charcoal filter should

remain submerged in the water

for 10 minutes. Rinse the charcoal

filter under running water for

5 seconds after soaking.

Before ﬁrst use

Wash the Gold Tone permanent ﬁlter, brew

basket, and carafe in hot, soapy water; then

rinse with clean water and dry. Do not use

abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.

NOTE: These parts can also be washed

in the top rack of the dishwasher.

Installing the charcoal ﬁlter:

Using the ﬁlter is optional but strongly

recommended. The Coffee Maker will

operate normally without the ﬁlter, but it

reduces contaminants that can impair

coffee ﬂavor.

The ﬁlter is for use only with municipally

treated tap water or well water that is

regularly tested for contaminants; it is not

intended to remove contaminants in water

that is not suitable for drinking.

USING THE COFFEE MAKER

FILLING THE COFFEE MAKER WITH WATER FOR BREWING

TIP: Brew 2 pots of fresh, cool water and discard before brewing the first

pot of coffee.

Lift the water tank lid and fill

with enough fresh, cool water to

make the desired amount of coffee.

Use the cup indicators on the water

tank window to view water input.

Close the water tank lid.

Place the carafe in the Coffee Maker.

Make sure the bottom of the carafe

is fully seated; otherwise, the Pause

and pour feature may not engage,

causing water and coffee to overflow

the brew basket.

The “Pause and pour” feature enables you to remove the carafe from the Coffee Maker

and pour a cup of coffee before brewing is ﬁnished. When the carafe is removed,

a special valve stops the ﬂow of coffee from the brew basket. However, brewing

does not stop. If the carafe is not placed back in the Coffee Maker within 25 seconds,

water and coffee grounds will overﬂow the brew basket.

Clean

Open the brew basket door. Make

sure the brew basket and filter are

placed inside of the basket door

before adding coffee.

NOTE: Do not operate the Coffee Maker without the brew basket in place.

NOTE: When using the Small Batch brew cycle, make sure to fill the tank with

only the amount of water needed to brew your desired number of cups. If you

put in 12 cups of water, the Coffee Maker will brew all 12 cups.

NOTE: If you do not wish to use the

Gold Tone permanent filter, you may

use a 12-cup, flat bottom paper coffee

filter instead; do not use both together.

When using a paper coffee filter,

place the filter inside the brew basket,

pressing the filter into the sides of the

brew basket. Pre-wetting the paper

filter is not required. The paper coffee

filter needs to be placed in the brew

basket before adding ground coffee.

If using the Gold Tone permanent

filter, you may remove the filter from

the brew basket to add ground coffee,

if desired.

10 | USING THE COFFEE MAKER

For best results, use a kitchen scale and the chart below when

ﬁlling the brew basket with coffee grounds. As a baseline, use

medium ground coffee (see picture to the left). Alter grind

and/or dosage to taste.
