Coffee Yield
A 5-oz. cup is the American industry standard and is used by most coffee maker manufacturers. The Smart Mill & Brew™ Coffee Maker brews a maximum of 10 (5-oz.) cups as indicated by the 10 coffee cup markings on the Water Window. For best results, we do not recommend preparing less than 4 cups (or 20 ounces) of coffee.
Brewing Coffee: Immediate Start
1. Fill the Water Reservoir to the 10-cup mark with cold, fresh water. Place the Carafe securely onto Warming Plate.
NOTE: Take care to place the Carafe squarely beneath the
Brew Chamber. If it is even slightly off center, the Pause & Pour feature will prevent brewed coffee from flowing into the Carafe and the coffee may overflow.
2. Press the COFFEE/WEATHER Button twice to advance to the coffee-only mode. The “Mill & Brew Idle” screen advises the unit is not in operation.
3. Open the Coffee Mill Lid and remove the Filter Basket Lid. Using the scoop provided with your Coffee Maker, measure the desired amount of roasted whole bean coffee into the Filter Basket. We recommend using 1 scoop for every 2 cups of brewed coffee, which may be adjusted to suit your individual tastes.
NOTE: 1 scoop = 1 tablespoon.

User Maintenance
Instructions
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing requiring disassembly must be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.

Coffee is naturally oily. A build up of coffee oils on the Coffee Maker will adversely affect the taste of new pots of coffee. For best results, completely clean and dry all removable parts after every use.
When cleaning your Coffee Maker, please observe the following precautions:
•Make sure the Coffee Maker is OFF. Unplug and allow the Coffee Maker to cool completely before cleaning.
NEVER IMMERSE THE CORD, PLUG OR COFFEE MAKER IN
WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
•Do not use metal cleaning pads or abrasive cleaners.
Daily
Wash all removable parts in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. If necessary, use a small brush, such as a toothbrush, to clean the Carafe Lid, the bottom of the Filter Basket and around the Pause & Pour Switch.
Monthly
Mineral deposits from tap water can clog the Coffee Maker or reduce its efficiency and adversely affect the taste of the coffee. For best coffee brewing results, the Coffee Maker should be cleaned once a month with a solution of vinegar and water. To remove mineral deposits from the Coffee Maker, follow the descaling instructions described below:
1. Pour 1/2 cup of vinegar into the carafe. Add cold water up to the Water Reservoir’s 4-cup mark. Pour the vinegar/water mixture into the Water Reservoir.
2. Insert the Filter Basket. DO NOT USE COFFEE!
3. Make sure the Grind Level is set to “0” to turn the Blades OFF. Consult the “Selecting the Grind Level” section of this Owner’s Manual for detailed instructions.
4. Press the ON/OFF Button to begin the brew cycle.
5. When the brew cycle is finished, press the ON/OFF Button to turn the Coffee Maker OFF. Carefully remove the Carafe and place on a heat resistant surface.
6. Wait 15 minutes. Pour the same vinegar/water solution back into the Water Reservoir. Replace the Carafe onto the Warming Plate.

Understanding Weather Alerts
Weather Advisory
An advisory is for less serious conditions that cause significant inconvenience and, if caution is not exercised, could lead to situations that may threaten life and/or property.
Weather Watch
A watch is used when the risk of a hazardous weather event has increased significantly, but its occurrence, locations, and/or timing is still uncertain. It is intended to provide advance notice of possible inclement weather.
Weather Warning
A warning is used for conditions posing an immediate threat to life or property. Depending on the type of warning, you should take immediate, appropriate action.
Ultraviolet Index
This index provides important information to help you plan your outdoor activities in ways that prevent overexposure to the sun's rays. It was designed by the National Weather Service (NWS) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Category UV Time Actions to Take
Index to Burn**
Minimal 0 - 2 60 min. Apply SPF sunscreen.

What is an AMBER Alert?
The AMBER Alert Plan is a voluntary partnership between law­enforcement agencies and broadcasters to activate an urgent bulletin in the most serious child-abduction cases.
Broadcasters use the Emergency Alert System (EAS), formerly called the Emergency Broadcast System, to air a description of the missing child and suspected abductor.
This is the same concept used during severe weather emergencies. The goal of the AMBER Alert is to instantly galvanize the entire community to assist in the search for and safe return of the child.
Alert information is put together for public distribution. This information can include descriptions and pictures of the missing child, the suspected abductor, a suspected vehicle, and any other information available and valuable to identifying the child and suspect.
Please consult: http://codeamber.org for further information on Amber Alerts in and around your area.
