IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

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. 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 the stove.

12. The carafe is designed for use with this

coffeemaker. It must never be used on
a range top or in a microwave oven.

13. Do not set a hot carafe on a wet or

cold surface.

14. Do not use a cracked carafe or one

with loose or weakened handle.

15. Do not clean carafe with cleansers,

steel wool pads, or other abrasive
materials.

16. Be certain carafe lid is securely in

place during brew cycle and when
pouring coffee. Do not use force when
placing lid on carafe.

17. Do not place coffeemaker on or near

a hot gas or electric burner or in a
heated oven.

18. To disconnect coffeemaker, turn con­trols to OFF (O) and then remove plug
from wall outlet.

19. 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.

20. Do not use appliance for other than
intended use.

This product 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.

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:

Burn Hazard.

To avoid hot coffee overflowing from the filter holder:

• When using decaffeinated coffee, do not exceed the coffee manufacturer’s recom­mended serving amount.

• If filter holder overflows, unplug coffeemaker and allow coffee in filter holder well to
cool before opening filter holder well.

Your coffeemaker is equipped with a “Pause and Serve” feature, which allows you to
pour a cup of coffee while it is still brewing. If pouring a cup while brewing, return carafe
to the base within 20 seconds, since hot water continues to flow into the filter holder
when this feature is used. Overflowing coffee and hot water are a burn hazard.

w WARNING

To set time of day, first press the H (hour)
button to set current hour; then press the
M (minute) button until you reach the
correct time.

NOTE: When filling the water reservoir,
using a carafe other than the one intended
for this product may cause overflow. Use
only the carafe supplied with your unit or
its exact replacement.

Using the Coffeemaker (cont.)

Use No. 4 disposable paper cone filters. Ensure the filter is fully inserted into the filter
holder. For each cup of coffee being made, use one level tablespoon of grounds. Use
slightly less grounds for decaf or flavored coffees—these blends can cause overflow if
too much is used.

TIP: If using freshly ground coffee, a fine to medium grind will yield best results.

10

NOTE: The filter holder will only fit
one way into the filter holder well. The
plastic handle should fold towards
you when the filter holder is placed
properly in the filter holder well.

When using the Regular/Bold/Robust settings, the “Regular” setting will make standard­strength coffee. To make stronger coffee, set the unit to the “Bold” or “Robust” setting.
Over time, you will be able to adjust the desired brew strength based on personal
preference.
