always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or
injury to persons, including the following:

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. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot
surfaces, including stove.
11. The carafe is designed for use with this coffeemaker. It must
never be used on a range top or in a microwave oven.

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 fully into the outlet, 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 highwattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

Features
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 carafe for more than 20 seconds or brew
basket may overflow.
WARNING! Burn Hazard.
Return carafe to keep-hot plate within 20 seconds. Hot water
continues to flow into the brew 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.

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.

Cleaning With Vinegar
All coffeemakers should be cleaned at least once a month
(once a week for areas with hard water).
1. Place empty carafe on keep-hot plate. Close lid.
2. Pour 1 pint (2 cups/500 ml) vinegar into water reservoir.
3. Press ON ( ).
4. Turn OFF ( ) after 20 seconds and wait 30 minutes.
5. Press ON ( ). The unit will automatically turn off when
brew cycle is completed. When cool, empty reservoir and
rinse.
6. Run 2–3 more brew cycles with CLEAN WATER only.
Allow to cool between cycles.
7. Wash carafe and brew basket by hand in hot, soapy
water. Rinse well and dry.
To Clean Carafe and Brew Basket:
Wash carafe by hand in hot, soapy water or in top rack of
dishwasher. To remove carafe lid, push hinge part of lid
to one side and then gently but firmly twist lid. The pin will
release from hinge. To replace lid, put one side of lid hinge
on one of pins and then snap onto other pin.
To remove brew basket, open lid and lift straight up. Brew
basket and permanent filter may be washed by hand or in
top rack of dishwasher.

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-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.
