SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

w WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided

with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce 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 high-wattage
appliance on the same circuit with this 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, chose 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.

• Using a water filter, filtered water, or bottled water will yield
better-tasting coffee than tap water.

• The “BOLD” or 1–4 cup brew option is recommended for brewing
decaffeinated and fine ground coffee.

• Make sure your coffee maker is clean. See “Care and Cleaning”
section.

2

For small amounts, or
decaffeinated coffee, use the
1–4 cup setting by pressing the
BREW OPTIONS button until
“1–4 CUPS” is illuminated.

3

Then, press the I/ (ON/OFF)
button or set the program to start
the coffee maker after your brew
option has been selected.

There are 2 ways to get stronger coffee: by using the BREW OPTIONS and/or by adding more coffee. The coffee maker allows you to add up to
16 scoops of regular coffee for stronger coffee.

9

• Do not use a cracked carafe or a carafe having a loose or
weakened handle.

• This carafe is designed to be used only on the keep-warm plate
of your coffee maker. Do not use on a gas or electric rangetop,
or in a microwave or conventional oven.

• To avoid breakage, handle carafe with care. Avoid impact.
Glass will break as a result of impact. Use care when filling

• Do not place hot carafe on cool or wet surface. Allow to cool
before washing or adding liquids.

• Do not set empty carafe on a hot heating surface.

• Do not clean with steel wool pads, abrasive cleanser, or any
other materials that may scratch.

• Do not place hands inside carafe. When handling, be careful if
wearing any hand jewelry, especially diamond rings. Jewelry
can scratch the glass, which increases possibility of breakage.

• Do not bump, scratch, or boil dry.

• Discard carafe if it is cracked, scratched, or heated while empty
for an extended period of time.

• To avoid accidents, do not pour in the direction of people.

• If stirring in the carafe, use only wooden, plastic, or rubber utensils.
Do not use metal utensils.

• Follow the above safety precautions carefully to avoid serious burn
injuries which may result if breakage occurs while carafe holds
heated liquids.
