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.

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 better­tasting coffee than tap water.

• Use approximately 1 tablespoon (5 g) 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.

Carafe Safety
Precautions

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 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
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.

• 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.
