Brewing  
1. Plug into 120V ~ 60 Hz outlet.  
2. Make sure unit is in the OFF position. The Indicator Light will  
be off.  
IMPORTANT: Place coffee maker on a level surface.  
3. Markings on the Water Level Indicator indicate the amount of  
water required to brew the desired number of Thermal Mugs.  
Lift up the hinged Water Chamber Lid and fill to desired level  
with cold, fresh water for the number of Thermal Mugs (one or  
two), using the Water Level Indicator on the Water Window.  
WARNING: When making one Thermal Mug, do not fill above  
level 1.  
IMPORTANT: If cream or milk will be added to Thermal Mugs,  
use less water for brewing.  
4. For optimal holding temperature, rinse the inside of Thermal  
Mugs with warm water before brewing. Place Lids securely on  
tops of Thermal Mugs. Press down on the Lids to ensure  
proper fit.  
NOTE: You can brew either one Thermal Mug or two Thermal  
Mugs at once. Place Thermal Mugs snugly on Base of unit as  
shown in Figure A (for two Thermal Mugs) or Figure D (for one  
Thermal Mug). The contoured design on the Base should be  
used as a guide for Thermal Mug alignment.  
5. Insert a #2 paper cone filter into the Removable Filter Basket  
and add coffee grounds. Use approximately 12-2 tablespoons  
for each Thermal Mug of coffee. Close Water Chamber Lid.  
6. Press Power Switch ON. The Indicator Light will turn on.  
CAUTION: Avoid contact with heated water.  
IMPORTANT: Do not remove Thermal Mugs until the Indicator  
Light has turned OFF. The Indicator Light will turn OFF  
approximately two minutes after brewing is complete. This  
delay will allow the last drops of coffee to flow into the Thermal  
Mugs.  
7. After Indicator Light turns off, Thermal Mugs may be safely  
removed.  
8. If brewing more than one cycle, allow unit to cool for 10  
minutes between cycles.

Helpful Hints for Brewing  
• Always use fresh, cold water for brewing. In areas with hard  
water or where water contains a high mineral content, use cold  
filtered water for optimal coffee taste.  
• For best results, use Melitta® #2 paper cone filters and Melitta®  
Premium Fine Grind Roast Coffee.  
• The markings on the Water Level Indicator reflect the quantity  
of fresh water to be used. The quantity of brewed coffee is less  
because the coffee grounds absorb water.  
Care and Cleaning  
1. Make sure Power Switch is in the OFF position. The Indicator  
Light will be off.  
2. Unplug and allow to cool completely before cleaning.  
3. Open Water Chamber Lid and lift up on the tab of Filter  
Basket. Discard any paper filter and coffee grounds.  
4. Remove Flow Nozzle by pulling down away from the Filter  
Basket Holder.  
5. Wash removable Filter Basket, Drip Tray and Overflow Tray,  
Flow Nozzle, Mugs and Mug Lids in warm, soapy water. Rinse  
and dry thoroughly. Or, you may wash the Mugs and Lids in  
the top rack of a dishwasher.  
6. Clean the outside of the coffee maker with a damp cloth.  
CAUTION: DO NOT IMMERSE CORD, PLUG OR COFFEE  
MAKER UNIT IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.  
7. Replace Filter Basket, Flow Nozzle, Drip Tray and Overflow  
Tray for next use.  
 
8
Descaling  
We recommend that you descale your coffee maker once a month  
because mineral deposits can form a coating in the coffee maker,  
causing slower brewing time and possibly an off flavor in the  
coffee. Use a cleaner recommended for coffee makers. To descale  
your unit:  
1. Pour two ounces of vinegar or coffee cleaner into the Water  
Chamber. Add cold water to the level 2 indicator.  
2. Place a clean #2 paper cone filter in the filter basket and close  
Water Chamber Lid. Place both Mugs in proper position on  
Base of unit.  
3. Follow “Brewing” instructions (without coffee).  
4. When the Indicator Light turns off, wait 15 minutes and pour  
solution from Mugs back into coffee maker. Be sure that the  
Filter Basket is still in proper position.  
5. Turn unit on again. Allow all solution to empty into Mugs.  
When Indicator Light turns off, discard solution.  
6. Allow unit to cool 10 minutes. To rinse unit, fill Water Chamber  
with fresh, cold water up to the level 2 indicator. Insert a fresh  
paper filter into Filter Basket. Close Water Chamber Lid. Place  
both Mugs in proper position on Base of unit and turn Power  
Switch on.  
7. At end of cycle, allow unit to cool, discard water and paper  
filter. Wash and dry Mugs and other removable parts.  
8. Unplug coffee maker from outlet. When coffee maker has  
cooled, wipe exterior with a damp cloth.
