OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PRODUCT MAY VARY SLIGHTLY FROM ILLUSTRATIONS

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. It may be plugged into an AC electrical

outlet (ordinary household current). Do not use any other electrical outlet.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, OR IF
APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

A short power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or

extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a

longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and;

2. The longer 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 unintentionally.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the

risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to t into a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not t fully into the outlet, reverse the plug and try again. If it still does not t,
contact a qualied electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS

1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.

2. To insert plug, grasp it rmly and guide it into outlet.

3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet. Do not pull on the
line cord.

4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any
are found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord
replaced.

5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undo stress
on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

IMPORTANT

During the rst few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and/or a slight odor.
This is normal and should quickly disappear. It will not recur after appliance has been
used a few more times.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do not remove the bottom
cover. No user serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done by authorized
service personnel only.

UNPACKING:

1. Carefully unpack the Coffee Maker and all parts. Remove any tape, labels or
packaging materials.

2. Wash brew basket, glass carafe and carafe lid with warm, soapy water. Rinse well
and dry thoroughly.

3. Wipe exterior surfaces of the product with a soft, moist cloth to remove dust particles
collected during packing and handling. NEVER IMMERSE THE COFFEE MAKER,
CORD OR PLUG IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.

4. Place Coffee Maker on a solid, level, heat-resistant surface.

PREPARING FOR USE

CLEANING THE COFFEE MAKER:

Before the rst use, the Coffee Maker should be rinsed with clean water by running a

brew cycle.

1. Fill the glass carafe to MAXIMUM FILL LINE with cool water and pour it into the
water reservoir.

2. Make sure the swing-out brew basket is properly closed.

NOTE: Allow water to cycle through without coffee, this will clean the
water reservoir and swing-out brew basket.

3. Plug the Coffee Maker into an electrical outlet. Ideally, the Coffee Maker should be

operated on its own circuit, separate from other appliances.

4. Push the ON / OFF button to the ON position. The red light in the switch will
illuminate and the brew cycle will begin. The brew cycle will take approximately 10
to 12 minutes to complete.

5. After the cycle is complete, push the ON / OFF button to the OFF position.

6. The Coffee Maker is now ready for use.

BREWING COFFEE

1. Make sure the Coffee Maker is on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface.

2. Fill the glass coffee carafe to MAXIMUM FILL LINE with cool water and pour into
the water reservoir.

3. Follow the coffee manufacturers recommended serving size and add coffee to the

coffee lter for each cup desired, increasing or decreasing to suit individual taste.

4. Make sure the swing-out brew basket is properly closed.

5. Push the ON / OFF button to the ON position. The red light in the switch will

illuminate and the brew cycle will begin.

6. After the brew cycle is complete, push the ON / OFF button to the OFF postion.

NOTE: If the ON / OFF button is pressed to the OFF postion while the
Coffee Maker is in the process of brewing, this will cancel the brew cycle.
To restart, empty the carafe and insert a new paper lter with ground
coffee. Check the water level in the water reservoir for any remaining
water to prevent over-lling on the next brew cycle.

KEEP WARM

After brewing the Coffee Maker will switch to a keep warm function. During this function,
the warming plate stays hot to keep the brewed coffee at a suitable serving temperature.

NOTE: There is no Automatic Off setting for this Coffee Maker. To turn off the
coffee maker, the ON / OFF switch must be pushed to the OFF position. When the
power light is no longer illuminated, the coffee maker is off. Do not operate with

an empty carafe.

FOR A SECOND POT

Turn the coffee machine off and allow to cool for 10 minutes before brewing a second
pot of coffee. Replace the coffee lter and add new coffee grounds. Place carafe on
warming plate and use another container to pour cold water into water reservoir. Use the
water level indicator to determine water level.

PAUSE AND SERVE

If at any time during the brewing process the glass carafe is removed from the warming
plate, the brewing process will pause until the carafe is placed back onto the warming
plate. This feature ensures that coffee will not drip if carafe is removed from the warming

plate to serve a cup of coffee while it is brewing. To use this feature, be sure carafe is

properly positioned on warming plate, and allow it to ll with at least one or two cups of
freshly brewed coffee before removing. After pouring, immediately replace carafe on
warming plate.

WARNING: TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE UNIT, SPILLS OR BURNS,
USE THE PAUSE AND SERVE FEATURE ONLY AS DIRECTED.

DO NOT PLACE A MUG OR CUP DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH THE

WATER OUTLET.
