Before using your coffeemaker for the first time, it is recommended that a carafe of cold water be cycled through the
unit to remove any impurities that could affect the flavor of coffee.

Follow the guidelines for making coffee, except do not add ground coffee to the basket. Fill carafe with cold water
to the 4 cup level and pour water into the reservoir. Place covered carafe on warming plate. Plug coffeemaker in
and turn ON. After water cycles through coffeemaker into carafe, turn coffeemaker OFF and unplug cord from
electric outlet. Wash carafe, cover and basket in hot soapy water, rinse and dry. Your coffeemaker is now ready to
use.
