Wash the brew basket, gold tone 
permanent filter, and carafe in hot, soapy 
water, then rinse with clean water and 
dry. Do not use abrasive cleansers or 
scouring pads. 

Use of the ion-exchange water filter 
is strongly recommended. The filter 
softens the water while reducing chlorine 
and other contaminants which impair 
coffee flavor. The handle of the filter also 
serves as a water level indicator. Use of 
the water filter is optional: the Coffee 
Maker will operate normally without it. 

The water filter is for use only with 

municipally treated tap water or 
well water that is regularly tested for 
contaminants. 
1.  The filter consists of a long handle 

with a filter cartridge at the end.

2.  Place the filter cartridge in a separate 

container filled with fresh, cool water. 
The cartridge should remain submerged 
in the water for 10 minutes. Rinse 
the filter under running tap water for 
5 seconds after soaking.

3.  Lift the rear portion of the split-lid 

using the tabs on either side of the lid.

4.  Place the filter cartridge in the circular 

well at the bottom of the water 
reservoir, aligning the tab on the 
cartridge with the notch in the well. The 
water level markings on the filter handle 
will face forward. Push the cartridge 
slightly to make sure it fits snugly.

5.  Every time you install a new filter, run 

the Coffee Maker through a complete 
brewing cycle without coffee. Use a 
full carafe of clean, cool water. 

6.  Replace the filter every three months 

under normal use. Replace it more 
often under heavy use or hard-water 
conditions. 

1.  Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2.  When the Coffee Maker is first 

plugged in or when power is restored 
after an interruption, the brew timer 
display will initially show 12:00 am. 

3.  Press the Set (Clock) Button. The brew 

timer display and Set (Clock) indicator 
will begin to flash.
