When the brew timer is active, the auto indicator light will be illuminated. 7. When brewing starts at the programmed time, the on/off indicator light will illuminate and the auto indicator light will go out. If message tones are enabled, the coffee maker will beep three times when brewing is complete. NOTE: The automatic brew timer must be activated each time you want the coffee maker to brew at the programmed time. FEATURES AND OPERATION NOTE: The brew timer will not activate if there are fewer than 4 cups (17 oz.) of brew water in the reservoir. If message tones are enabled, the coffee maker will beep on every attempt to activate the brew timer without sufficient water in the reservoir. If automatic brewing needs to be cancelled, deactivate the brew timer by turning the Auto-On/Off Switch counter-clockwise to the “Auto” position, then releasing. When deactivated, the auto indicator light will go out. 21 ADJUSTING THE MESSAGE TONE VOLUME Message tones instantly communicate coffee maker status. Tone volume can be set high or low, or turned off for silent operation. When first used, the coffee maker automatically defaults to high volume tones. The sound level icon will be visible on the brew timer display when message tones are enabled: High-Volume Icon Low-Volume Icon With message tones enabled, the coffee maker will produce 3 one-second tones when the brewing cycle is complete, and a single one-second tone when: • you attempt to turn on the coffee maker or activate the brew timer without sufficient water in the reservoir • the water reservoir nears the maximum level during filling • the water filter icon is reset To Adjust the Message Tone Volume Press and hold the “–” and “+” Timer Adjustment Buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds to enable, disable, or change the volume of the message tones. Timer Adjustment Buttons As the Timer Adjustment Buttons are pressed: • If the high-volume sound level icon is visible, it will disappear. The message tones are now disabled. • If the message tones are disabled (no sound level icon is visible), the low-volume sound level icon will appear. The coffee maker will now produce low-volume tones. • If the low-volume sound level icon is visible, it will change to the high-volume icon. The coffee maker will now produce high-volume tones. If the Timer Adjustment Buttons are held down continuously, the message tones will alternate between disabled, low volume, and high volume. 22 RESETTING THE WATER FILTER ICON The PRO LINE™ Series Water Filter will filter approximately 25 gallons of water (60 full carafes). When a filter has reached the end of its life, the water filter icon will appear on the brew timer display. The coffee maker will keep track of the remaining filter life even when unplugged. To maintain the best performance, the coffee maker should be descaled whenever the water filter icon appears. If a water filter is not used, the coffee maker will still display the water filter icon as a reminder to descale. For descaling instructions, see page 29. To Reset the Water Filter Icon After the water filter has been replaced (see “Installing the Water Filter” on page 13), press and hold the “+” Timer Adjustment Button until the water filter icon disappears. Doing this resets the function that tracks how much coffee has been brewed. The water filter icon will re-appear when the new filter has reached the end of its life. “+” Timer Adjustment Button Filter Icon FEATURES AND OPERATION 23 COFFEE BREWING SUGGESTIONS: The flavor of coffee depends on a variety of factors, including the quality, freshness, and roast of the beans, the fineness and consistency of the grind, the ratio of coffee to brew water, the cleanliness of the brewing equipment, and the brew water purity. Fresh Coffee Beans Great coffee can only come from fresh coffee beans, properly roasted. Many experts recommend buying beans roasted no darker than a medium roast, the color of which appears as an even chocolate brown. This roast preserves the natural sugars and flavor of the bean, and sets the stage for an excellent cup of coffee. A medium roast is the darkest a bean can be roasted without oils developing on the surface. ADVICE FOR GREAT TASTE Darkly roasted beans – which appear dark brown or nearly black – look great, but the extra roasting will overwhelm the more delicate coffee flavors and caramelize any sugars. A heavy “roasted” coffee flavor, often bitter and sharp, will predominate with a dark roast. To preserve the freshness of coffee beans: Keep beans in an opaque, air-tight container and store them in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration is not recommended, as condensation tends to form on the beans whenever the container is opened. Freezing can help preserve beans stored for an extended period, but it will also impair the flavor. 24 The Right Grind Freshly ground coffee loses flavor and aroma quickly – within minutes. The best cup of coffee will always come from coffee beans that are ground just before...
