BEFORE FIRST USE

Wash the Carafe, Lid and Filter Basket in warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Wipe the base of the unit with a soft damp cloth. Do not immerse Coffee Maker in water or any other liquid.

Prior to brewing coffee for the first time run the Coffee Maker with water only. Follow the directions in the HOW TO USE section omitting the coffee and coffee filter.

HOW TO USE

1. Plug into a 120 Volt AC outlet.
2. Swing the Filter Basket Holder outward to the left. Place a #4 cone-shaped paper filter, a permanent filter (SwissGold model KF-4 or a Jasi Goldtone model KF-4T) in the Filter Basket. Fill the coffee filter with the desired amount of ground coffee.

NOTE: Use coffee ground specifically for automatic drip coffee makers.

1. Close the Filter Basket Holder and snap into place. NOTE: If the door does not close completely, check to see that the Filter Basket is properly seated in the Filter Holder then snap the door into place.
2. Pour cold water into the Water Reservoir between the 4 cup mark and 8 cup MAX mark on the Water Level Window. IMPORTANT: Do not fill the Water Reservoir beyond the MAX level in the Water Level Window or water will leak out the opening in back designed to prevent overfilling.
3. Place the Carafe with Lid on the Bottom Plate. NOTE: The Lid must be screwed in place on the Carafe.
4. If you want to brew coffee immediately, press the 'Start/Stop' button TWICE and the green 'On' Indicator Light will illuminate indicating that the brewing cycle has started. (To use 'Timed Brew' follow the directions in the section "Delayed Brew Cycle")
5. In a few minutes the coffee will be brewed. NOTE: The green indicator light will go out after 15 minutes. If you wish to turn off the Coffee Maker before the automatic shut off press the Start/Stop Button once.
6. The lid must be partially unscrewed to pour coffee and retightened to maintain coffee temperature.

DELAYED BREW CYCLE

1. Plug Coffee Maker into a 120 Volt AC outlet.

3. Swing the Filter Basket Holder outward to the left. Place a #4 cone-shaped paper filter or permanent filter (SwissGold model KF-4 or a Jasi Goldtone model KF-4T) in the Filter Basket. Fill the coffee filter with the desired amount of ground coffee. NOTE: Use coffee ground specifically for automatic drip coffee makers.
4. Close the Filter Basket Holder and snap into place. NOTE: If the door does not close completely, check to see that the Filter Basket is properly seated in the Filter Holder then snap the door into place.
5. Pour cold water into the Water Reservoir between the 4 cup mark and the 8 cup MAX mark on the Water Level Window. NOTE: Do not overfill.

10. The Lid must be partially unscrewed to pour coffee and retightened to maintain coffee temperature.

NOTE: Unplugging the unit will reset the clock to 12:00.

'PAUSE & SERVE' FEATURE

The 'Pause & Serve' feature allows you to pour a cup of coffee before the brew cycle has finished. Remove the Carafe slowly to temporarily stop the flow of coffee. Partially unscrew Lid and quickly pour a cup of coffee. Retighten the Lid and reposition the Carafe securely on the Bottom Plate. NOTE: Do not remove the Carafe for longer than 30 seconds.

CARE AND CLEANING

1. Unplug unit and let cool before cleaning.
2. Remove the Filter Basket from the Filter Basket Holder.
3. The Filter Basket Holder can be removed by opening completely, placing your right hand on top of the Coffee Maker to hold steady and use your left hand to grasp the Filter Basket Holder underneath the hinged area, lift up and pull towards you.
4. Wash the Filter Basket, Filter Basket Holder and the Carafe and Lid in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry.
5. Wipe the Housing and Bottom Plate with a soft damp cloth. NEVER IMMERSE THE MAIN HOUSING IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
6. DO NOT clean the inside of the Water Reservoir with a cloth as this will leave a residue of lint and may clog the Coffee Maker. Rinse with cold water periodically.
7. Replace the Filter Basket Holder by inserting the longer top pin into the top hinge. While pressing the Filter Basket Holder upwards slightly, fit the bottom pin into the bottom hinge. Close Filter Basket Holder and snap into position.

Descaling

Over a period of time, minerals and calcium found in water will accumulate in your Coffee Maker and may affect its operation. The appliance should be cleaned approximately every six months, depending on water conditions. Use distilled vinegar in the following manner to remove the mineral deposits.

1. Fill the Carafe with equal parts of white vinegar and cold water.
2. Open the Lid of the Water Reservoir and pour in the vinegar/water solution. Close the Lid.
3. Snap the Filter Basket and Filter Basket Holder into position.
4. Place the Carafe with Lid on the Bottom Plate.
5. Press the Start/Stop Button twice and the Coffee Maker will start.
6. Let the whole quantity of the vinegar/water solution run through the machine, then turn the Coffee Maker off by pressing the Start/Stop button once.
7. Repeat the above steps using cold water to rinse away any residual vinegar. Repeat twice.

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, 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. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be of the grounding-type 3-wire cord. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
