Coffee Maker Features
and Benefits
The one-time initial set-up of the coffee maker (see “Before Using Your Momentum Coffee Maker,” page 7) prepares the coffee maker by filling the Water Chamber completely full of water and allowing time for the water to heat to proper brewing temperature. After this one-time set-up is completed, each time you brew a pot of coffee the cold water you pour into the coffee maker pushes out an equal amount of pre-heated hot water from the Water Chamber.The hot water flows over the coffee grounds and produces a fresh, hot pot of coffee.The cold water you just poured in remains in the Water Chamber where it is heated in preparation to brew the next pot!
10-Cup Brewing Capacity - The coffee maker is designed to
brew 6 to 10 cups of coffee at a time.
Removable Filter -The Removable Filter pulls out for fast and
easy cleaning and filling.
Non-Stick Warming Plate - This feature allows you to keep
your coffee hot after brewing. The non-stick coating prevents the Carafe from sticking to the surface of the War ming Plate.
To avoid damaging the Car af e , the Warming Plate On Switch must be turned Off when the Carafe is empty or when the coffee maker is not in use.
ON/OFF Power Switch - Allows you to tur n off the power to the
Water Chamber if the coffee maker will not be used for a few days. NOTE:The coffee maker is designed to remain plugged in with the
Power Switch turned On except during those times when your coffee maker is emptied for transpor t or storage or dur ing times when it will not be used for several days.
If the coffee maker has been unplugged or the Power Switch turned Off for longer than a few hours it will take approximately 20 minutes after the unit is plugged back in and the Power Switch turned On to reheat the water supply to the proper temperature for brewing.
If the coffee maker has not been used for 3 or more days, it is recommended that the Water Chamber be emptied and replaced with fresh water.

Before Using Your
Momentum Coffee Maker
Before using your Momentum Coffee Maker for the first time, we suggest you become familiar with all of its parts. Read all instructions and cautions carefully.
This initial set-up procedure prepares the coffee maker for use by filling the Water Chamber completely full of water and allowing time for the water to reach proper brewing temperature. This procedure is only required the first time the coffee maker has not been used, if your coffee maker has not been used for several days and has been emptied, or after the coffee maker has been drained for transport or long term storage (see “Draining Your Coffee Maker For Transport or Storage,” page 10.)
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the coffee maker, do not connect the power cord to a power outlet until the following steps have been completed.
NOTE:The coffee maker will be heavy after the initial set-up steps are completed. For that reason it is recommended you place your coffee maker where you intend to use it before following the initial set-up procedure.
1. Make sure the coffee maker is unplugged. Wash the Carafe, Carafe Lid and the Removable Filter in warm water and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly then dry with a clean cloth. Place the Removable Filter in the Swing-Out Filter Holder.
2. For this initial set-up, set the Control Dial to “Brew.”
3. Fill the Carafe with fresh, cold water to the “10 cup” line.
4. Slowly empty the water into the Water Fill Area on top of the
coffee maker. Allow a few minutes for the water to drain into the Water Chamber.
5. Fill the Carafe a second time with fresh, cold water to the “10 cup” line.
6. Slowly empty the water into the Water Fill Area on the top of the coffee maker. Allow a few minutes for the water to drain into the Water Chamber.
7. Fill the Carafe a third (final) time with fresh, cold water to the “2 cup” line corresponding to the top of the metal band.
8. Slowly empty the water into the Water Fill Area on top of the coffee maker and close the Water Chamber Lid.
7
NOTE: Adding more water than the amount specified may cause water to flow from the Removable Filter. If this occurs, replace the Carafe under the Swing-Out Filter Holder or use a separate container to collect the excess water. Make sure all excess water has been collected and carafe has been emptied before moving on to the next step.
9. Plug the power cord into a working 120 Volt AC power outlet and press the Power Switch. The Power Indicator Light will illuminate while appliance is On. NOTE: The coffee maker is designed to remain plugged in with the Power Switch tur ned On except during those times when your coffee maker is emptied for transport or storage or during times when it will not be used for several days.
10. Wait 20 minutes to allow the water in the Water Chamber to reach the proper brewing temperature.
You have completed the one-time set-up procedure and are ready to use your coffee maker to brew fresh, hot, delicious tasting coffee.
For step-by-step instructions please read the “Brewing” section below.
Brewing
Make sure that you have completed the initial set-up before brewing.
1. Set the Control Dial to “FILL.” This setting prevents the water from entering the Water Chamber and allows time for the Carafe to be placed in position before starting the brew cycle.

10. After allowing the coffee grounds to cool, carefully remove and discard the used coffee grounds and filter. WARNING: Brewed coffee and grounds, both in the Removab le Filter and Caraf e are very hot! Handle with care to avoid scalding. If Removable Filter overflows, or if the Removable Filter fails to drain the coffee into the Carafe during the brew cycle, do not open or handle the Swing-Out Filter Holder and Removable Filter. Turn the Control Dial to “FILL”, unplug the coffee maker and wait for the contents to cool before opening.
Draining Your Coffee Maker for
Transpor t or Storage
The Water Chamber in your coffee maker should be emptied whenever the coffee maker will be transported, or stored for extended lengths of time.
WARNING: The coffee maker is very heavy. Use caution when draining the chamber.
1. Turn the Power Switch to Off and unplug the coffee maker power cord from the power outlet. CAUTION: TO PREVENT INJURY DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRAIN THE UNIT UNTIL THE WATER IN THE WATER CHAMBER HAS COOLED. THIS WILL TAKE SEVERAL HOURS. NOTE: To shorten the length of time required for the water to cool, the hot water in the Water Chamber can be flushed out and replaced with cold water. To do this:
a. Turn the Power Switch Off and unplug the unit from the
power outlet.
b. Using 10 cups of cold water follow the instructions for
“Brewing” section. While performing this procedure do not use a filter or coffee grounds.
c. Repeat the 10 cup brewing process at least three times
to ensure that the hot water in the chamber has been replaced with cold water.
2. Tur n the Control Dial to “FILL.”
3. Remove the Removable Filter and Swing-Out Filter Holder.
10
4. Grasp the back of the coffee maker and tip the unit forward over a sink at a 45 degree angle until the water begins to flow out of the Shower Head.
5. Slowly top the coffee maker to a 90 degree angle, hold until the flow of water stops. NOTE:To ensure that your coffee maker will function properly in the future do not tip the coffee maker be y ond 90˚.The small amount of water remaining in the coffee maker following this procedure will evaporate in a few days time.
Care and Cleaning
Routine Cleaning
The Carafe, Carafe Lid and the Removable Filter should be rinsed with water after each use.
Top rack dishwasher safe parts: the Carafe and Lid, the Removable Filter and the Swing-Out Filter Holder.
A small amount of dishwashing liquid and water will remove most fingerprints, grease, dirt and grime.
Occasionally, window cleaners, vinegar and water solutions, standard non-abrasive kitchen cleaning fluids, or commercially available cleaning products for stainless steel surfaces can be used. After cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to dry and buff the surface to a brilliant shine.
Descaling
We recommend that you descale your coffee maker once a month because mineral deposits can form a coating in the coffee maker, causing slower brewing time and possibly an off flavor in the coffee. Use a cleaner recommended for coffee makers or the solution described below. To descale your unit:
1. Turn the Power Switch to “Off”. Unplug the coffee maker power cord from the power outlet.
2. Place the Swing-Out Filter Holder in position on the coffee maker.
3. Place the Carafe on the War ming Plate.
4. Slowly pour 1 quar t (32 fluid ounces) of undiluted white
household vinegar into the top of the coffee maker.
11
NOTE: As the vinegar is poured in, hot water will be pushed from the Water Chamber and flow through the Removable Filter into the Carafe.
5. When the flow of water stops, empty the Carafe then replace it on the Warming Plate.
6. Wait 2 hours before proceeding.This will allow the vinegar time to break down the lime and mineral deposits.
7. After 2 hours, the vinegar may be rinsed from the coffee maker.
a. Using 10 cups of cold water follow the instructions for
“Brewing,” page 8. While performing this procedure do not use a filter or coffee grounds.
b. Repeat the 10 cup brewing process at least eight times
to ensure that the vinegar in the Water Chamber has been replaced with cold water.
NOTE: An easy way to determine if all the vinegar has been rinsed out is to sprinkle a small amount of baking soda into the water in the Carafe after it has completed the brewing cycle. The baking soda will react with the vinegar. A gentle fizzing indicates that there is still vinegar in the water and the procedure should be repeated. If there is no reaction then it means that all of the vinegar has been rinsed clean.
Cleaning the Carafe
Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the Carafe. Coffee can discolor these deposits, sometimes lea ving a bro wnish stain.To remove these stains, follow these simple steps:
1. Use a solution of equal par ts: white household vinegar and hot water.
2. Let solution stand in Carafe for about 20 minutes and then discard.
3. Wash and rinse the Carafe thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners.These may cause scratches which can lead to breakage.
NEVER IMMERSE THE COFFEE MAKER IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS.
