When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/
or injury to persons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs. Care
must be taken, as burns can occur from touching hot parts
or from spilled, hot liquid.
3. To protect against electric shock, do not place cord, plug,
or coffeemaker in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used
by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when either the coffeemaker or clock is
not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting
on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Coffeemaker must be operated on a flat surface away from
the edge of counter to prevent accidental tipping.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or
plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped
or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer
service number for information on examination, repair,
or adjustment.
8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended
by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch
hot surfaces, including stove.
11. Do not place coffeemaker on or near a hot gas or electric
burner or in a heated oven.

Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug
(one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The
plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or
by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician
replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over
a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved
extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the
extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of
the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension
cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped
over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another highwattage appliance on the same circuit with your appliance.

Tips for Best-Tasting Coffee
• All coffees are made from either arabica beans or robusta beans,
or some combination of both. Arabica beans are slightly more
expensive, but tend to produce better-tasting coffee.
• Ground coffee will become stale much faster than whole beans. If
buying preground coffee, choose a package with the latest expiration
date or a smaller quantity.
• If grinding whole beans, set your coffee grinder on a fine/medium
grind. This will yield the best-tasting grounds. Try to use freshly
ground coffee within about a week of grinding.
cycle. Coffeemaker remembers last brew option selected. If
unplugged, coffeemaker defaults to REGULAR.
• Using a water filter, filtered water, or bottled water will yield bettertasting coffee than tap water.
• Use approximately 1 tablespoon of grounds for each cup of
coffee being made. To avoid overflow, use slightly less grounds
(3/4 tablespoon [11 ml]) when brewing decaf or flavored coffees.
Also, be aware that using coffee that is ground too finely may also
cause the filter basket to overflow.
• Make sure your coffeemaker is clean. See “Care and Cleaning”
sections.
