WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove
any service covers. No user serviceable parts inside. Repair should
be done by authorized personnel only.
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
1.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord.
2.
An extension cord may be purchased and used if care is exercised in
its use.
3.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least 10 amps and 120 volts. The resulting
extended cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over the
counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over accidentally.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is larger than the
other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fully fit in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do
not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

Cleaning Instructions
Your coffeemaker
ti
be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive
steaming or the brewing time increases considerably. This condition is
caused by a buildup of lime and mineral deposits from your water. If the
pumping action stops before all the water has been pumped out of the
machine, then the appliance requires cleaning.
The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of water used. The following table gives the suggested cleaning intervals.
SUGGESTED CLEANING INTERVAL
Type of Water Cleaning Frequency
Soft Water
every 80
brew cycles
Hard Water
every 40
brew cycles
Your coffeemaker may be cleaned by using MR. COFFEE CLEANER or
vinegar. For best results, use MR. COFFEE CLEANER. It is superior to vinegar and has no unpleasant odor.
Using Mr. Coffee Cleaner
(Read caution statement on side panel of Mr. Coffee Cleaner box before
use)
1.
Fill the decanter with 4-5 decanter cups of warm water.
2.
Empty contents of one packet of MR. COFFEE CLEANER into the
decanter and stir with a plastic or wooden spoon until the cleaner is completely dissolved.
3.
Pour the blue solution into the coffeemaker.
4.
Place the empty decanter on the warmer plate. The filter basket should
be closed.
5.
Turn your coffeemaker on.
6.
When the blue solution has stopped flowing, turn your coffeemaker off.
7.
Discard the blue solution and thoroughly rinse the decanter and lid.
8.
Repeat steps #l - #7 with clean water only (no blue solution).
Continue to rinse out the unit until you see no remaining traces of
the blue solution.
9.
If a normal brewing flow rate is not achieved, repeat the cleaning steps
#l - #8.
Page 10
USING VINEGAR:
1.
Pour 1 quart of undiluted white household vinegar into your coffeemaker
2.
Place a filter into the filter basket and close the swing out basket.
3.
Place the empty decanter on the warmer plate and turn the coffeemaker on. When three cups have flowed through, turn the coffeemaker off and let stand for
l/2
hour.
4.
Turn the coffeemaker on and let
all
of the vinegar flow through.
5.
Discard the vinegar and the paper filter.
6.
To flush out all traces of vinegar,
pour a decanter full of tap water
into the coffeemaker, turn it on, and allow it all to cycle through.
7.
Discard the water and turn the coffeemaker off. Repeat steps #6 and
#7.
Decanter
Cleaning
Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the decanter. Coffee
and tea discolor these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain inside
the decanter. To remove these stains, follow these simple steps:
1.
Use a hot white vinegar solution and let it soak.
2.
Let it stand for about 20 minutes and then discard.
3.
Wash and rinse the decanter thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not use
harsh abrasive cleaners. These will cause scratches which can lead
to breakage.
