IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

3. To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons, do not immerse
cord, plugs, or body of machine in water or other liquid.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return
appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair,
or adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces.

10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

11. Risk of Fire or Electric Shock! Do not remove this cover. No user serviceable
parts inside. Repair should be done by authorized service personnel only.

12. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

13. After coffee brewing is finished and the on-light has turned off, wait five
minutes before refilling the water container with cold water. Otherwise hot
steam could shoot out of the lid and cause injuries.

14. Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during the brewing cycles. Always
wait for brewing to complete before removing lid.

15. Do not block the steam vent on the side of the machine. Always leave 2
inches of space between the steam vent and the wall or any other material.

16. Avoid contacting moving parts such as the grinder. Always operate machine
with bean container lid in place.

SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
A. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from

becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord.

B. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in

their use.

C. If an extension cord is used,

1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and

2) the longer cord shall be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter
top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

CAUTION:

This appliance is for household use only. Any servicing other than cleaning and
user maintenance should be performed by an authorized service representative.

• Do not immerse base in water or try to disassemble.

• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove the base. No user
serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done by authorized service
personnel only.

• Check voltage to be sure that the voltage indicated on the name plate agrees

3. COFFEE BEANS AND THE BUILT-IN BURR GRINDER

Grinding the beans just before brewing will maximize the flavor and aroma of
your coffee. Conical burr grinders are considered the best way of grinding
beans. The slower grinding speed of the conical burrs creates less heat thus
preserving more aroma of the ground coffee. Following the recommendations
below will make your coffee taste better and your machine last longer.

a. Storing Coffee Beans in the Freezer?

Coffee stores do not store beans in the freezer or refrigerator! Coffee will act
like baking soda, absorbing all odors and tastes surrounding it. Coffee beans
will stay fresh for several weeks as long as you keep them in a dry, dark
container. (It’s the ground coffee which will lose aroma rapidly!) If you must
store coffee beans in the freezer, take them out the day before use and thaw
in an open dish. This way they will thaw fully and evenly prior to adding the
beans to the machine.
CAUTION: Do not add frozen beans to the grinder, always thaw before using.
IMPORTANT: If you fill beans from the freezer directly into the grinder, moisture
will seep into the burrs and the ground chute. The moisture makes the ground
coffee stick in the ground coffee outlet (Fig. 10) and will clog it up over time.

b. Finer or Coarser Grind?

The three grind settings (Fig. 4) of your CoffeeTEAM PRO are calibrated for
grinding drip coffee. Choose the coarser settings for darker, oilier beans.
Choose the finer settings for light or medium roasts.
CAUTION: Do not use the FINE setting when grinding more than 8 cups as this

could cause the filter basket to overflow during brewing.

c. Dark Beans versus Light Beans

Your CoffeeTEAM PRO burr grinder is calibrated to work with all different
kinds of roasts. Dark, oily beans will leave some oil residue in the ground
coffee outlet so it is important to clean the grinder and ground coffee outlet
often to avoid clogging. For cleaning the ground coffee outlet see chapter

10.5. The machine has a special "OILY" button which adds extra time to the
grinding process for the slow moving beans. Press the OILY setting prior to
brewing to activate this feature. See chapter 7.1, f.

d. Flavored beans, liquid flavorings, syrups

• Do not use sugar or powder coated beans in the grinder (e.g. cinnamon,
chocolate, vanilla etc). Coated beans can pit the bean container. The coating

might stick to the burrs and, over time, will reduce the performance of the
grinding mechanism.

• Do not add any liquid flavorings or syrups to the beans.

• If you like flavored coffee we recommend buying liquid flavorings at your

local coffee store. Add a few drops into the carafe before or after brewing.

e. Stones and Beans

Every coffee specialty store will tell you that occasionally small stones can
be found in between coffee beans. Very small stones will be processed
through the burr grinder without any harm (the stone will end up in your filter

- not in your brewed coffee). However, larger stones can block the burr

grinder permanently. If this happens, the grinder will make a loud noise.
Push the BREW button to stop grinding and call our customer service
number: 1-800-767-3554.
