4 ELEMENTS TO BREW THE PERFECT CUP

Water Quality
A great cup of coffee starts with fresh, filtered water. Since water represents more than 98% of brewed coffee, it is just as important as the coffee quality itself. The water you use should taste like fresh, good-quality drinking water, have an odorless aroma, and contain no visible impurities. Filtered water will limit impurities and excessive minerals that can detrimentally impact coffee flavor and machine performance.

Coffee Freshness
A truly fresh cup of coffee only comes from freshly ground coffee beans. Once a coffee bean is broken or ground, its flavor will begin to degrade over time. Maximize the freshness of your coffee by grinding coffee beans just before brewing.

Even Saturation
Even saturation of your coffee grounds is vital for ensuring proper flavor and extraction. Some coffee makers simply drip water down the center of the brew basket, which leads to over-extraction in the center of the coffee grounds and under-extraction on the perimeter. This coffeemaker features a Vortex™ Showerhead, providing even saturation of the coffee grounds for optimal water flow and maximum flavor.

Proper Proportion
It is important to use the proper coffee-to-water ratio to produce a finished brew that isn’t too strong or weak. We recommend using 1 tablespoon of ground coffee for every 1 cup of brewed coffee. You may adjust this proportion to suit your taste, or try the Brew Strength Selector to customize your flavor!

TIPS FOR A PERFECT CUP OF COFFEE

• To maximize the freshness of your coffee, grind whole coffee beans just before brewing.
• Always use fresh, cold, clean water in your coffee maker. The water you use should have an odorless aroma and contain no visible impurities.
• Use spring water or filtered water, not distilled water which lacks the minerals necessary to bind to elements of coffee.
• A clean coffee maker is always important. Regular cleaning is required for the bbest-tastingcoffee.
• Always keep the lid on your thermal carafe after brewing. The carafe is double-wall insulated and vacuum-sealed to help keep your coffee hot and fresh for hours.
• Use the strong setting for best flavor when brewing less than 4 cups of coffee.
• Fill the carafe with hot tap water and empty it before brewing, which will warm up the carafe and help keep the coffee at the brewed temperature.
• Always store your coffee in a cool, dry place. Once the coffee has been opened, keep it tightly sealed in an airtight container.
• Do not refrigerate or freeze your daily supply of coffee, as contact with moisture will cause the coffee to deteriorate.
• Never re-use your coffee grounds. After brewing, the desirable coffee flavors have been extracted and only the bitter flavors remain.
• Brewed coffee should be enjoyed immediately! Allowing coffee to sit too long and reheating coffee will impact the flavor.
• Smell the aroma of your freshly brewed coffee, and remember that every sip is meant to be savored and enjoyed!

USING THE CARAFE

• Lid in the closed/locked position. Press the button on the handle before pouring.
• Lid in the unlocked position.
• Lid removed.

Note
When brewing half a carafe or less of coffee, be sure to prewarm the carafe. See the tip on page 10.

Note
Coffee may run over if the lid is not correctly in place on the carafe.

Note
The carafe should never be tilted backward.

BREWING COFFEE

Note
You don’t need to set the clock to brew coffee right away.

1. Open the cover of the coffeemaker. Fill the water reservoir with cold tap water. (D)Use lines on the easy-viewing water window as a guide. Do not fill past the 12 MAX line.
2. Place a basket-shaped paper filter into the brew basket. Add ground coffee (we suggest 1 tablespoon per cup). Put the brew basket in place.
3. Place the empty carafe on the carafe plate and plug the cord into a standard outlet.
4. To set the Brew Later delay start, brew strength selector, follow the instructions in the “Programming” section.
5. Press power button once to begin brewing. (E)
6. The Sneak-A-Cup™ feature allows you to pour a cup of coffee before the brewing cycle is complete. The carafe must be placed back into the coffeemaker within 20 seconds to prevent overflow. Replacing the carafe will restart the brewing process.
7. The brew timer count down from 120 minutes will begin when the brewing cycle is complete.
8. Press the button on the handle to pour coffee.
9. To turn off the coffeemaker at any time press the power button. (E)
10. When coffee grounds are cool, carefully remove and throw away used grounds and filter.
11. Clean the thermal carafe and washable brew basket according to the instructions in the CARE AND CLEANING section.

CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning your coffee maker, following the directions below is recommended after every use. This product contains no user-serviceable parts.

Cleaning

1. Make sure your coffeemaker is unplugged and cool.
2. Open the coffeemaker cover. Remove the brew basket. Throw away the used paper filter and coffee grounds.
3. Wash the brew basket and carafe by hand in warm, soapy water.
4. Wipe the outside of the coffeemaker, carafe plate, and power cord with a soft, damp cloth.
5. To clean the inside of the cover, open the cover and leave it in the open position; wipe surfaces with a damp cloth.

Note
Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads, and never immerse the coffeemaker in water.

DESCALING WITH THE AUTO CLEAN™ FUNCTION
With regular use, minerals and hard water can clog your coffee maker. A full cleaning with vinegar is recommended once a month. To notify you that it is time to descale with vinegar, after 60 brew cycles or when calcification is sensed, “CLEAN” should scroll across the display three times. The “CLEAN” word will continue to blink before each brew until the descaling process is completed. If the machine is extremely calcified it may require multiple cleaning cycles to clear the “CLEAN” warning.

• Pour white vinegar into the water reservoir up to the 5-cup mark on the water window. Add cold water up to the 12-cup mark.
• Put a basket-shaped paper filter in the brew basket and close the cover. Set the empty carafe on the carafe plate.
• Press and hold the POWER button for 5 seconds to start the Auto Clean™ function. The entire cleaning process will take 45-60 minutes to complete.
• During the Auto Clean™ process, the coffee maker will:
  • Brew 5 cups of the vinegar/water mixture first
  • Pause for about 30 minutes
  • After the pause, it will brew the remainder of the vinegar/water mixture
• Once the process is complete, empty the carafe and discard the paper filter.
• Fill the water reservoir with cold water to the 12-cup line: replace the empty carafe on the carafe plate and then turn ON the coffeemaker for a complete brewing cycle to flush out the remaining vinegar/water mixture. You may want to repeat this step to completely remove the vinegar smell and taste
• Wash the brew basket and carafe as shown in CARE AND CLEANING.
• If your machine is heavily calcified, the “CLEAN” warning may remain activated after cleaning. In this case, repeat cleaning.
