safety

When using electrical appliances, to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock, and/or injury to persons, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the following:

• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

• Brewed coffee and grounds, both in the brew basket and
decanter, are very hot. Handle with care to avoid
scalding.

• Scalding may occure if the lid is removed during the
brewing cycles.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
Operate only with all lids in closed position.

• To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord,
plug or machine in water or other liquids.

• Close adult supervision is necessary when this appliance
is used by or near children.

• Unplug from outlet when coffeemaker or clock are not
in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting
on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.

• Do not operate any electrical appliance with a damaged
cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has
been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return this
appliance only to the nearest authorized service center
for examination, repair or adjustment.

• The use of accessory attachments not recommended for
Sunbeam products may result in fire, electric shock or
injury to persons.

• Do not use outdoors.

• Do not let cord hang over the edge of a table or counter
or touch any hot surface.

• Do not place appliance on or near a hot gas or electrical
burner, or in a heated oven.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

ii

• To disconnect, turn any control to “off”, then
remove plug from wall outlet.

• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

• Use on a hard, flat level surface only, to avoid
interruption of air flow underneath the appliance.

Special Cord Set Instructions

A short supply power cord is provided to reduce the
hazards resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord. An extension cord may be purchased
and used if care is exercised in its use. 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
extending cord should 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 INFORMATION.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify
the plug in any way.

THIS COFFEEMAKER IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

Automatic Pause ‘N Serve Drip Stop Valve

For your convenience our Pause ’N Serve feature allows you up to 30
seconds to sneak a cup while coffee is still brewing. It also prevents
any remaining coffee in the filter basket from dripping onto the
warmer plate once the brew cycle is complete.

• To prevent injury from hot overflow, replace decanter within 30
seconds if removed during brewing.

Warning: To avoid risk of personal injury or damage to property as a result
of overflow, be sure that the decanter is squarely centered under the brew
basket during brewing cycle.
Brewed coffee and grounds, both in brew basket and decanter, are very
hot. Handle with care to avoid scalding.
If brew basket overflows, or if brew basket fails to drain into decanter
during brew cycle, do not open or handle basket. Unplug coffeemaker, and
wait for contents to cool before handling.

Brewing

Important: Clean Before Using the First Time!

Wash decanter, lid and removable filter basket in
mild detergent and water. Rinse each thoroughly.

Follow steps 5 through 7 below (with water only) to
clean the inside of your coffeemaker.

1. Open the reservoir lid by lifting the tab at the
front, swing the showerhead to the right and lift
out the brew basket using the convenient finger
loop handle.

2. Insert a Mr.Coffee paper filter into the filter
basket and add the desired amout of coffee
according to the measurement chart found below.
Shake lightly to level the coffee.

3. Be sure the paper filter is properly centered
before inserting the filter basket inside the water
reservoir. When inserted correctly, the finger loop
handle should be facing the front of the
coffeemaker.

For the best results, use level tablespoons (Tbsp.) of drip grind,
recommended for automatic drip coffeemakers.
Remember to use more or less coffee to suit your taste.

Care and Cleaning

Decanter Use and Care

Breakage may occur if the following instructions are
not followed:

• Use only decanters specifically designed for
Sunbeam models.

• This decanter is designed for use with your
Sunbeam coffeemaker and therefore must never
be used on a rangetop or in any oven, including
a microwave.

• Do not use a hot decanter on a wet or
cold surface.

• Do not use a cracked decanter or a decanter
with a loose or weakened handle.

• Do not clean the decanter with cleansers, steel
wool pads or other abrasive materials.

• Discard decanter immediately if it is ever
boiled dry.

• Avoid sharp blows, scratches or rough handling.

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:

• Use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and
hot water.

• Let solution stand in decanter for about 20
minutes and then discard.
