Operating Your Coffee Maker
6. Shake the brew basket slightly to even out the bed of coffee. This will help ensure uniform coffee extraction and excellent flavor. Place the basket into the Coffee Maker, push it down to seat it securely, and close the lid. 7. Press the On/Off Button to begin brewing coffee. The Pause and Pour Feature 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. Brewing, however, does not stop. If the carafe is not placed back on the hot plate within 25 seconds, water will overflow the brew basket and spill onto the warming plate. Pause and pour is a great convenience for those in a hurry. However, the flavors extracted from ground coffee differ at each stage of the brewing cycle, and a finished carafe represents a delicate blend of these flavors. Using pause and pour will alter � and usually impair � the flavor of the remaining coffee.
NOTE: Lifting the front lid while coffee is brewing will interrupt the brew process and impair flavor. 8. The Coffee Maker will sound the end-of-brewing tone when brewing is complete. 9. At the end of 2 hours, the Coffee Maker and warming plate will automatically shut off. To turn off the Coffee Maker manually, press the On/Off button. 10. Repeat steps 1-7 to brew additional carafes of coffee. Always turn off the Coffee Maker and allow it to cool for five minutes before starting the next brew cycle.
