FILLING WATER FOR BREWING

Place the Carafe in the Coffee Maker. Make sure the Carafe lid is in place and bottom of the Carafe is fully seated.
PRODUCT USAGE
Raise the Brew Basket lid and remove the Brew Basket.
Insert the Gold Tone permanent filter or cone paper filter into the Brew Basket.
TIP: The coffee filter can also be inserted and coffee grounds added with or without removing the Brew Basket from the Coffee Maker.
Gold tone permanent filter: Add coffee grounds. Use the “Dosage Ladder”. For example: If you need 12 cups of Brew Coffee, then add coffee grounds till 12 cups scale level. OR
Cone paper coffee filter: Add desired coffee grounds. Use the “coffee dosage chart” on the back of the Water Tank as a guide for how much coffee grounds to use. Pre-wetting the paper is not required.
IMPORTANT: Do not use both types of filters at the same time. Using both filters might cause water and coffee to overflow the Brew Basket
Place the basket into the Coffee Maker aligning with the slot. Be sure the brew basket lid is fully closed before brewing.
NOTE: Use a medium grind appropriate for automatic Drip Coffee Makers. Too fine grind will produce bitterness and may clog the coffee filter.
NOTE: Do not operate the Coffee Maker without the brew basket in place.
PROGRAMMING THE AUTO SET FEATURE

Make sure to place the Carafe back in the place within 25 seconds to avoid the overflow of the water and coffee grounds from the Brew Basket.
