Thesuppliedlterreducesmanyofthecontaminantsthat
cannegativelyaffecttheavorofthecoffee.Although
theCoffeeMakerwillfunctionnormallywithoutit,useof
thelterishighlyrecommended.
ThelterassemblyconsistsofaWaterFilterHolder,

soak.After10minutes,removethecartridgefromthe
containerandthoroughlyrinseunderrunningtapwater
for10to15seconds.Thiswillremoveanycarbon
dustparticlesthatcouldmaketheirwayintoyourrst
brew.Thisstepisonlynecessaryfornewcarbonlters.
Repeatthisprocedureeachtimeyoureplacethelter.
 Itisrecommendedthatthecarbonlterbereplaced
aftereach60brewcycles.AreminderontheLCDpanel

intothepocketlocatedatthebottomofthereservoir.
PlugtheCoffeeMakerintoagroundedoutlet.You
shouldhearashortalerttone.Fillthereservoirwith
clean,coolwater.Donotexceed12cupsofwater,as
theoverowslotsinthebackofthereservoirwillcause
theexcesswatertorunoutthebackoftheunitandon
tothecountertop.
 Ifyouareusingacontainerotherthanthecarafeto
llthereservoir,usethewaterlevelindicatorwindow
ontherightsideoftheCoffeeMakertomeasurethe
