and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts
and before cleaning the appliance.

7. Coffee maker must be operated on a flat surface away from the edge

of counter to prevent accidental tipping.

8. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged supply cord or plug, or

after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in
any manner. Supply cord replacement and repairs must be conducted
by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard. Call the provided customer service number

w WARNING

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.

Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided

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.

6

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

• Use approximately 1 tablespoon of grounds for each cup of
coffee being made. To avoid overflow, use about 1/3 less
grounds when brewing decaf or flavored coffees.

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

How to Use the Brew Options and Clean Notification

BREW OPTIONS

Carafe Safety
Precautions

• 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-hot 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
with water to avoid hitting faucet.

• 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.

3

This symbol alerts you to the potential danger for
personal injury if you fail to read and follow these safety
precautions.

This symbol reminds you that glass is fragile and can break
which could result in personal injury.

• 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.
