SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
A 5 foot power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks of becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord. Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their
use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the cord should be arranged so it
will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped
over.
This appliance has a grounded plug (3 prong). It is not polarized and can fit into an outlet only
one way. If it will not fit your outlet contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in
any way.
IF SERVICE IS REQUIRED
Contact your distributor. To assist in serving you, please have the model number (ES18),
date of purchase, and serial number (if available) prior to calling.
INTRODUCTION
Your thermal carafe brewer brews fresh, filtered coffee in minutes. It can also easily heat water
for instant beverages. The thermal carafe contains a vacuum liner which delivers the best heat
retention of all containers used with drip brewers and allows the full flavor of the coffee to be
retained.
PREPARATION FOR USE
Before the first use, clean the thermal carafe and brewer by completing a brew cycle as
described below without
using coffee or a coffee filter.
COFFEE PREPARATION
1. Place brewer on a solid flat surface. Plug into 120V outlet.
2. Open thermal carafe lid by turning it in the direction of “OPEN” arrow and lifting off. Fill
the thermal carafe with cold, fresh water to within 1 inch of the rim. Open hinged water
reservoir cover; pour water into reservoir opening. Markings on water level indicator show
amount of water needed to make the desired number of cups of coffee. DO NOT EXCEED
THE 12-CUP LEVEL ON THE WATER LEVEL INDICATOR. Close reservoir cover.
3. Before thermal carafe is returned to platform, pre-warm carafe by running warm water
through carafe. In addition to preventing damage to the liner, pre-warming the carafe will
also help keep the coffee warmer longer.
4. Return lid to thermal carafe. To close lid, turn lid in direction of “CLOSE” arrow until lid fits
tightly on carafe. Return empty thermal carafe to brewing platform. Be certain thermal
carafe lid is in “CLOSED” position and is securely in place during brew cycle.
5. Open filter basket by grasping basket handle and swinging outward. Insert a filter into
filter basket; assure filter fits snugly in basket. Use a fresh filter for each carafe of coffee.
6. After placing ground coffee or tea into filter, return basket to closed position. To assure
safe operation, make sure basket is closed securely.
7. With thermal carafe and basket securely in place, press green “BREW” button; orange LED
will light. CAUTION: Brewer becomes very hot during brew cycle; handle with extreme
care as hot parts and escaping steam may cause burns.
8. The brew-through lid allows coffee to drip from brewer through closed lid. When coffee
has completely stopped dripping into thermal carafe and water level indicator is empty,
brew cycle is complete.
9. An audible “beep” tone will signal when the brew cycle is complete. Brewer will switch off
automatically.
10. After coffee grounds have cooled, carefully open filter basket and discard used coffee filter
and grounds. To remove filter basket from brewer, grasp basket handle and swing basket
outward, and with basket in far right position, lift up and pull basket hinge.
11. The personal carafe has a brew-through lid which allows coffee to be poured with the lid
in the “CLOSED” position so coffee freshness and temperature can be preserved. NEVER
POUR LIQUID FROM THERMAL CARAFE UNLESS LID IS IN “CLOSED” POSITION.
PAUSE & SERVE
This feature allows a cup of coffee to be poured before the brew cycle has finished. Carefully
remove thermal carafe, and the Pause & Serve feature will be automatically activated,
temporarily stopping the flow of coffee into the thermal carafe. Return thermal carafe to
platform immediately after pouring coffee, and the brewing process will resume.
IMPORTANT: Carafe must be returned to its brewing position within 30 seconds to prevent the
filter basket from overflowing.
NOTE: Strength of coffee poured mid-cycle may vary from the finished brew.
CAUTION: During brew cycle, basket must be closed securely as basket in improper position
may cause hot water or coffee to overflow.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Daily
Always unplug brewer and allow to cool before cleaning. Wash filter basket and carafe lid in
hot, sudsy water. Rinse inside of thermal carafe with lukewarm water. Wipe brewer and outside
of thermal carafe with damp cloth and dry. Never put brewer or thermal carafe in water or in
the dishwasher. For hard to remove stains, use a plastic mesh pad or a cloth dampened in
vinegar. Do not use metal cleaning pad or abrasive cleaners.
Monthly
Minerals found in water can clog brewer or reduce its efficiency. To prevent this use Urnex
Dezcal. Add Dezcal and water mixture to water reservoir. DO NOT OVERFILL. Place empty
thermal carafe (with lid securely closed) on platform and press “BREW” button. After mixture
has been cycled through, press “OFF” button. Rinse by cycling through 2 or 3 more carafes of
plain cold tap water. Do not pour any liquid other than cold tap water or Dezcal mixture into
reservoir opening when cleaning.
PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not place a cloth or otherwise restrict airflow beneath the brewer.
2. To avoid accidents, make sure thermal carafe lid is in “CLOSED” position during brewing
and while pouring; do not pour in the direction of people.
3. When pouring, hold thermal carafe by the handle only.
4. CAUTION: Burns may result from spilled, hot liquid and/or contact with hot parts.
THERMAL CARAFE PRECAUTIONS
Your thermal carafe contains a vacuum liner. Improper use will damage the liner. Please follow
these instructions:
1. Clean inside of carafe with lukewarm water. Turn carafe upside down and allow to dry.

cleaners; rinse only with water.
