Before Brewing for the First Time
CAUTION: To protect against electric 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 Glass Carafe must be cleaned. Remove any labels from
the outer surfaces.
2. Brew 12 (5-oz.) cups of fresh water only. Follow the OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS, but do not add coffee grounds or paper filter to the
Removable Filter Holder.
3. When all the water has brewed into the Carafe, press the AUTO
ON/OFF Button so the unit is turned OFF.
4. Allow the Coffee Maker to cool for 15 minutes, discard the water
from the 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 Holder, Glass Carafe and
Carafe Lid in warm, soapy water. Dry all parts thoroughly.
Coffee Filters
Cone-shaped paper filters are available locally at grocery stores and
where coffee makers are sold.
We recommend using Melitta #4 cone-shaped filters.
The use of basket-style paper filters is not recommended, since they do
not conform to the shape of the Removable Filter Holder and may cause
coffee to back up and spill over during brewing.
