The Instruction Manual for your coffee maker can be found here:

Instructions include the following:

Water Level Amount of Ground Coffee

Water Level Amount of Ground Coffee

42 Cups 2 ½ Cups

36 Cups 2 Cups

No, first push the self clean button (hold until lights come on). Then pull the grounds unit and empty it, that will turn off one red light. Fill the water tank. Then drop the tablet. Then hit the ground coffee button. Cycle through and dump the grounds each time the grounds light illuminates.

Possible clogged water output house. Question? Is the water going on the filter then overflowing? If so, the grind of the coffee might be to fine. Might have to have the grounds a little courser. To test put no coffee in and if flows through ok, then coffee is ground to fine, then just need to have it ground a little courser. Thanks, mike

'Leaks' are usually caused by overfilling either the water reservoir or the coffee basket or by coffee grounds interfering with a seal.

Make sure you perform a complete cleaning on your coffee maker making sure any contact points which need to seal are free of coffee grounds.

Instructions for removing the grinder and filter baskets are contained within your manual.

1 1/2 cups of coffee grounds for 30 cups of water

OK you put water in the bottom, and the coffee grounds in the basket in the top, screw together and put on element, it will boil and thermo-siphon the boiling water up to the top chamber and over the coffee, take the grounds out and leave set a bit, pour..... enjoy

Put the filter in, put the coffee grounds into the filter, put water into the machine, put the coffee basket into the machine, put the pot under the spout, press start.
