Thank you for purchasing our new Black and Decker®Home Café™ coffeemaker. Now you can enjoy perfectly brewed coffeehouse-style beverages in a variety of flavors and cup sizes to suit your taste—right in your home or on the go.

Your Home Café™ coffeemaker has been specifically designed to use with Folgers

and Millstone®coffee pods. In order to avoid damage to

your unit, do not use other brands of coffee pods.

ELECTRIC CORD

a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided

to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and

may be used if care is exercised in their use.

c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,

1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,

2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and

3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW Warning : This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Troubleshooting

My Home Café™ brewer runs out of water in the middle of a brew.

If the unit runs out of water, it will automatically stop brewing and the 7 oz., 9 oz and Creamy buttons led lights start flashing at the same time. Refill the water reservoir. Start with a fresh cup and coffee pod and brew your next cup.

The coffeemaker lid is locked and I cannot unlock it.

Did you experience power interruption during the brewing cycle or did unit unexpectedly stop? If you did, the lid automatically stays locked during power interruption. When power resumes, press the STOP button to unlock the lid. Start the brew cycle from the beginning with an empty cup to avoid coffee overflow.

I press a brew button, but nothing happens.

Make sure the unit is plugged in, the water reservoir has the correct amount of water and the lid is locked in place.

If there is still no power to the brewer, call 1-800-HomeCafe (466-3223).

I press a brew button, but nothing happens and two buttons start blinking at the same time.

Make sure the water reservoir has water. If empty, fill with water and resume brewing.

My coffee is not strong enough. Possible solutions:

the pod.

My coffee is too strong. Possible solutions:

Questions & Answers

beverages.
