INTRODUCTION
Your thermal carafe brewer brews fresh, filtered coffee in minutes. It can also easily heat water
for instant beverages. The thermal carafe contains a vacuum liner which delivers the best heat
retention of all containers used with drip brewers and allows the full flavor of the coffee to be
retained.
PREPARATION FOR USE
Before the first use, clean the thermal carafe and brewer by completing a brew cycle as
described below without using coffee or a coffee filter.
COFFEE PREPARATION
1. Place brewer on a solid flat surface. Plug into 120V outlet.
2. Open thermal carafe lid by turning it in the direction of “OPEN” arrow and lifting off. Fill
the thermal carafe with cold, fresh water to within 1 inch of the rim. Open hinged water
reservoir cover; pour water into reservoir opening. Markings on water level indicator show
amount of water needed to make the desired number of cups of coffee. DO NOT EXCEED
THE 12-CUP LEVEL ON THE WATER LEVEL INDICATOR. Close reservoir cover.
3. Before thermal carafe is returned to platform, pre-warm carafe by running warm water
through carafe. In addition to preventing damage to the liner, pre-warming the carafe will
also help keep the coffee warmer longer.
4. Return lid to thermal carafe. To close lid, turn lid in direction of “CLOSE” arrow until lid fits
tightly on carafe. Return empty thermal carafe to brewing platform. Be certain thermal
carafe lid is in “CLOSED” position and is securely in place during brew cycle.
5. Open filter basket by grasping basket handle and swinging outward. Insert a filter into
filter basket; assure filter fits snugly in basket. Use a fresh filter for each carafe of coffee.
6. After placing ground coffee or tea into filter, return basket to closed position. To assure
safe operation, make sure basket is closed securely.
7. With thermal carafe and basket securely in place, press green “BREW” button; orange LED
will light. CAUTION: Brewer becomes very hot during brew cycle; handle with extreme
care as hot parts and escaping steam may cause burns.
8. The brew-through lid allows coffee to drip from brewer through closed lid. When coffee
has completely stopped dripping into thermal carafe and water level indicator is empty,
brew cycle is complete.
9. An audible “beep” tone will signal when the brew cycle is complete. Brewer will switch off
automatically.
10. After coffee grounds have cooled, carefully open filter basket and discard used coffee filter
and grounds. To remove filter basket from brewer, grasp basket handle and swing basket
outward, and with basket in far right position, lift up and pull basket hinge.
11. The personal carafe has a brew-through lid which allows coffee to be poured with the lid
in the “CLOSED” position so coffee freshness and temperature can be preserved. NEVER
POUR LIQUID FROM THERMAL CARAFE UNLESS LID IS IN “CLOSED” POSITION.
PAUSE & SERVE
This feature allows a cup of coffee to be poured before the brew cycle has finished. Carefully
remove thermal carafe, and the Pause & Serve feature will be automatically activated,
temporarily stopping the flow of coffee into the thermal carafe. Return thermal carafe to
platform immediately after pouring coffee, and the brewing process will resume.
IMPORTANT: Carafe must be returned to its brewing position within 30 seconds to prevent the
filter basket from overflowing.
NOTE: Strength of coffee poured mid-cycle may vary from the finished brew.
CAUTION: During brew cycle, basket must be closed securely as basket in improper position
may cause hot water or coffee to overflow.
