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, 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 your coffeemaker.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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 number for information on examination, repair, or
adjustment.
8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock, or personal injury.
9. Use only the carafe provided with the appliance.
10. Do not use outdoors.
11. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot
surfaces, including stove.
12. Do not use a cracked carafe or a carafe having a loose or weakened
handle.
13. Do not set a hot carafe on a wet or cold surface.
14. Do not clean carafe with cleansers, steel wool pads, or other abrasive
materials.
15. Be certain carafe lid is securely in place during brew cycle and when
pouring coffee. Do not use force when placing lid on carafe.
16. Do not place coffeemaker on or near a hot gas or electric burner or
in a heated oven.
17. To disconnect coffeemaker, turn controls to OFF and then remove
plug from wall outlet.
18. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove
the bottom cover. No user-serviceable parts are inside. Repair should
be done by authorized service personnel only.
19. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
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:

This symbol alerts you to the potential danger for personal
injury if you fail to read and follow these 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 coffeemaker. 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.
Carafe Safety Precautions
This symbol reminds you that glass is fragile and can break
which could result in personal injury.

How to Make Coffee (cont.)
Burn Hazard. Return carafe to Keep-Hot Plate
within 20 seconds. Hot water continues to flow
into the filter basket when this feature is used. Overflowing
coffee and hot water are a burn hazard.
Brew Strength Selector
This feature allows you to control
the strength/flavor of the coffee.
To select from mild to strong
flavor, rotate the Brew Strength
Selector Knob, located on top of
the coffeemaker, to desired
strength.
NOTE: The setting for “regular”
strength coffee is the full-strength
setting (knob all the way to the
left). For reduced-strength coffee,
turn the knob all the way to the
right before brewing.
Automatic Shutoff
The automatic shutoff feature shuts
off the Keep-Hot Plate 2 hours after
brew cycle begins. Always turn
coffeemaker OFF and unplug when
finished.
Pause ‘N Serve
This feature allows you to pour a
cup of coffee before the entire
brew cycle has completed. By
removing the carafe, the flow of
coffee will temporarily stop. The
flow of coffee will resume when
the carafe is returned to the
Keep-Hot Plate. Do not remove the
carafe for more than 20 seconds
or brew basket may overflow.

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.
• 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 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 “Cleaning With Vinegar”
section.

1 2
Pour 1 pint (2 cups/500 ml)
vinegar into water reservoir.
Press ON ( ). Turn OFF ( )
after 20 seconds and wait 30
minutes. Press ON ( ). The unit
will automatically turn off when
brew cycle is completed. When
cool, empty reservoir and rinse.
