C A U T I O N : A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords are available from local hardware stores and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is required, special care and caution is necessary. Also the cord must be: (1) marked with an electrical rating of 125 V. and at least 10 A., 1250 W., and (2) the cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

ELECTRIC POWER: If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

Before Brewing Coffee

For The First Time

CAUTION: To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the

Coffee Maker or allow AC cord to come into contact with water or other liquids.

1. After carefully unpacking from carton, the inside of your Coffee

Maker and thermal carafe must be cleaned.

2. Brew 8 cups of fresh water only. Follow the instructions in the

Brewing Coffee Section following, but DO NOT ADD COFFEE

GROUNDS TO THE PAPER FILTER.

3. When all the water has brewed into the carafe, switch the

Coffee Maker OFF. The light will turn off.

4. Allow the Coffee Maker to cool for 15 minutes, discard the water

from the thermal carafe, then repeat steps 2 and 3.

5. After the second pot of water has cooled, discard the water and

thoroughly wash the removable filter basket (see illustration on page 4), thermal carafe and carafe lid in warm, soapy water. Dry all parts thoroughly.

Hints For Best Results

• We recommend using coffee which has been ground specifically

for automatic drip coffee makers. This type of coffee is prepared specifically for your Coffee Maker’s brewing system and promotes fuller extraction to provide rich, full-bodied coff e e .

• Use only cone-shaped filters with this Coffee Maker. Cone-shaped paper filters are available locally at grocery stores. Use standard, #4 filters. Do not use basket-style paper filters.

• A clean Coffee Maker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regular cleaning, as specified in the User Maintenance Instructions, is highly recommended.

• Always use fresh, cold water in your Coffee Maker.

• For optimal holding temperature, rinse the inside of thermal carafe with warm water before brewing; empty and screw lid to closed position. Place carafe securely onto coff e e m a k e r.

• To serve, press down on black button and pour.

• Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened,

keep it tightly sealed in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.

• For optimum coffee, buy whole beans and grind them finely just

before brewing.

• Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair

coffee flavor.

• Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak

flavor immediately after brewing.

To Start Brewing

Coffee Immediately

For optimal holding temperature, rinse the inside of thermal carafe with warm water before brewing; empty and make sure carafe lid is properly secured onto carafe. Place carafe securely onto coff e e m a k e r. Press the ON/OFF button. The ON LED will illuminate as the Coffee Maker begins brewing the coffee. Once the brewing cycle is complete the Coffee Maker will turn OFF automatically.

To Start Brewing Coffee

At The Programmed Time

At the programmed time, the Coffee Maker will turn itself on automatically. The ON light will turn on as the Coffee Maker begins brewing and coffee will begin flowing into the thermal carafe. Once the brewing cycle is complete the Coffee Maker will turn OFF automatically. NOTE: The amount of coffee in the carafe may be slightly less than the amount of water placed in the water reservoir, since some of the water is absorbed by the coffee grounds.

Auto Pause

and Pour Feature

• Remove the thermal carafe from the base plate. Always keep the carafe lid on the carafe when pouring the coffee.

IMPORTANT: When using the Auto Pause and Pour Feature while the Coffee Maker is still brewing, the thermal carafe must be replaced on the base plate, under the Filter Basket within 20 seconds to prevent the Filter Basket from overflowing.

To Brew a Second

Pot of Coffee

• To brew a second pot of coffee, wait 15 minutes and allow it

to cool. Empty used coffee grounds and repeat steps for brewing coffee. CAUTION: Failure to allow Coffee Maker to cool may cause water to overheat and spray hot steam. The hot steam can cause severe burns.
