Hints for Great-Tasting Coffee
•  A clean Coffee Maker is essential for making great-tasting coffee. Regular 
cleaning, as described in the Care & Cleaning Instructions and Descaling 
sections of this owner’s manual 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 fi ner 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 fi nely just 
before brewing.
•  Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair coffee fl avor.
•  Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak fl avor 
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. Overextraction may also cause 
oiliness, indicating a need to clean your Coffee Maker.
AutoPause & Serve
1.  After approximately 2 cups of coffee have been brewed, the carafe may 
be slowly removed and the coffee will stop dripping.
2. The fl ow valve is located on the bottom of the fi lter holder and is activated 
when the carafe is removed. The design makes it possible for you to remove 
the carafe and pour a cup of coffee before the entire carafe is brewed.
3.  IMPORTANT: When replacing the fi lter holder, the fl ow valve must be 
properly inserted into the front hole of the machine, so that it can be seen 
as it sits on the top of the carafe lid.
4.  When using this feature, make sure that the carafe is replaced under 
the fi lter holder within 30 seconds to prevent overfl ow.

care & cleaning
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user-serviceable 
parts. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than cleaning must be 
performed by a qualifi ed appliance repair technician.
1.  Always make sure Coffee Maker is unplugged and warming plate is cool 
before attempting to clean. 
2.  After daily use, dispose of paper fi lter with used coffee grounds. Wash the 
removable fi lter holder and glass carafe in hot, sudsy water. If necessary, 
scrub the inside of the carafe lid with a soaped kitchen brush. 
WARNING: To avoid breakage, handle carafe with care. Avoid impact. 
Glass will break as a result of impact. Use care when fi lling with water to 
avoid hitting faucet.
3.  Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove superfi cial stains. For 
stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleanser. 
Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.
4.  Dry and replace disassembled parts. Turn the removable fi lter holder so 
that the fl at side faces the front of the Coffee Maker, and the tab is at the 
back right. Make sure the fi lter holder drops down into the housing. 
Note: It is normal for the reusable fi lter to change color after use.
5.  Close the lid.
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 2 weeks, since minerals in water can detract from the fl avor 
of the coffee and possibly lengthen brew time.
1.  Fill carafe with 1 part white vinegar to three parts cold water. Pour water 
and vinegar solution into the water reservoir.
2.  During cleaning, more steam will occur than during normal brewing.
3.  BREW THE VINEGAR SOLUTION UNTIL CARAFE IS HALF FULL. 
Press the OFF button to turn Coffee Maker OFF. When liquid stops 
dripping from fi lter holder into the carafe, remove the carafe and allow 
liquid to cool for 15 minutes. When cooled, lift lid and pour liquid back 
into the water reservoir.
4.  Close the lid. Return carafe to the warming plate. 
5.  BREW THE VINEGAR SOLUTION again, allowing all the cleaning 
solution to empty into the carafe. After dripping has stopped, discard 
contents of the carafe.
6.  Allow Coffee Maker to cool for 15 minutes, rinse by brewing a carafe full of 
cold water. Insert a fresh paper fi lter into the fi lter holder before brewing.
7.  At end of brew cycle, press the OFF button. Discard water in the carafe. 
Remove used fi lter and wash carafe and removable fi lter holder in hot 
sudsy water. Dry parts thoroughly.
8.  When Coffee Maker has cooled, wipe exterior with a dry cloth..This 
appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user-serviceable 
parts. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than cleaning must be 
performed by a qualifi ed appliance repair technician.

This coffee maker was designed for cooks, by cooks. We took all
the features we loved from all the coffee makers we’ve used over the
years and put them together to make this one. We love it, and we hope
you will too.
Here’s how to get the most out of your coffee maker:
•  Freshness matters: buy just as much coffee as you need for a week 
from a place that has brisk turnover. If you’ve got a choice between 
whole beans or preground, buy whole beans. Store them room-temp 
in something airtight and grind them in a coffee grinder when you 
need them. 
•  One tablespoon of whole beans is equivalent to a tablespoon 
of ground.
•  If you like your coffee dark and heavy (like at the coffee chains), 
go with a dark roast like French, Italian, or espresso. For mellow, 
full flavor go with light-roast.
•  A regular cup of dark- or light-roast coffee has a little more caffeine 
than an espresso shot.
