†Consumer replaceable/removable parts

This product is for household use only. Coffee Filters Your coffemaker comes with a permanent filter. You may use a Cone-shaped paper filter if desired. Cone-shaped paper filters are available locally at grocery stores and where coffee makers are sold. Standard #2 filters should be used. The use of basket-style paper filters is not recommended, since they do not conform to the shape of the Filter Basket and may cause coffee to back up and spill over during brewing. Before You Use Your Coffeemaker Before preparing coffee in your new Coffeemaker, thoroughly clean the Carafe, Carafe Lid and Removable Cone Filter Basket in hot, sudsy water. Rinse and dry. Replace disassembled parts. Clean the inside of the Coffeemaker by brewing two full Carafes of tap water (see BREWING INSTRUCTIONS below). Do not place coffee in Removable Cone Filter Basket for this initial cleaning. Note: At the end of first cycle, turn Coffeemaker off and wait ten minutes. Turn unit on and brew second Carafe of water. Brewing Instructions

1. Plug Coffeemaker into any 120 V AC electrical outlet.

2. Fill Carafe with cold tap water and pour into Water Window. Markings on the Carafe

indicate level of water required to brew desired number of cups. No less than two cups is recommended. Note: The amount of brewed coffee will always be less than the amount of water placed into Coffeemaker, since about 10% is absorbed by coffee grounds and paper filter.

3. Place the Permanent Filter in the Swing-Out Filter Holder. Measure one level

tablespoon of drip or regular grind coffee for each cup of coffee desired. For stronger or milder coffee, adjust amount of coffee to suit your taste.

4. Return Swing-Out Filter Holder to the closed position.

5. Place Carafe on Warming Plate.

6. Switch Power Select Button to ON (I).

7. If you wish to serve a cup of coffee before brew cycle is completed, simply remove

Carafe from Warming Plate. Dripping will automatically cease. Return Carafe to position on Warming Plate within 20 seconds; dripping will resume.

8. Upon completion of the brew cycle, wait about one minute until the brew dripping

from the Removable Cone Filter Basket into the Carafe has stopped. Carafe Lid should be kept in place to facilitate safe serving and help keep coffee at proper serving temperature.

9. To keep coffee hot, return Carafe to the Warming Plate after serving. The Warming

Plate will automatically cycle to maintain ideal serving temperature as long as the Coffeemaker is ON.

10. Switch Coffeemaker to OFF (O) when Carafe is empty or when unit is not in use.

11. To brew another Carafe of coffee, turn unit OFF and wait 10 minutes to allow

heating element to cool.

Important: If unit is not allowed to cool before immediate repeated use, water placed in Water Window may become overheated and a spray of steam could be released from opening, creating a risk of burns. Brewing a Second Pot of Coffee As mentioned above, it is recommended that the Coffeemaker should be in OFF (O) position for 10 minutes between cycles, in order to allow unit to cool. While unit is in OFF position, rinse Carafe in water and dispose of coffee grounds and paper filters (if used). Repeat brewing procedure. Hints for Great Tasting Coffee

• A clean Coffeemaker is essential for making great tasting coffee.
• Regular cleaning, as specified in Care and Cleaning section on page 6 is highly recommended.
• Always use fresh, cold water in your Coffeemaker.
• Finer grinds, such as drip and ADC coffee, promote fuller extraction and provide rich, full-bodied coffee. Regular grind will require slightly more coffee per cup to provide the strength of a finer grind.
• Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep it tightly sealed in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
• For optimum coffee, buy whole beans and grind them finely just before brewing.
• Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair coffee flavor.
• Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after brewing.
• Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed black coffee are due to the extraction of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffees are used. Overextraction may also cause oiliness, indicating a need to clean your Coffeemaker.

Care and Cleaning This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel. Caution: Be sure to unplug this appliance before cleaning. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug or unit in water or other liquids. Always make sure Coffeemaker is unplugged and Warming Plate is cool before attempting to clean. After daily use, the Removable Cone Filter Basket and Carafe should be washed in hot, sudsy water. Wipe exterior with a damp cloth to remove superficial stains. For stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleanser, such as Bon Ami® or Arm & Hammer®. Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleansers. Special cleaning of your Coffeemaker is recommended at least once a month, depending on frequency of use and quality of water used in the unit. If water in your area is especially hard, the following cleaning procedure should be performed every two weeks, since minerals in water can detract from the flavor of the coffee and possibly lengthen brew time.

1. Fill Carafe with one part white vinegar to three parts cold water. Pour water and vinegar

solution into the Water Window.

2. Place the Permanent Filter in the Swing-Out Filter Holder and swing to closed position.

Place Carafe on Warming Plate. Switch Power Select Button to ON (I). During cleaning, more steam will occur than during normal brewing.

3. KEEP THE COFFEEMAKER ON UNTIL CARAFE IS HALF FULL. Switch Power Select

Button to OFF (O). When liquid stops dripping from Filter Holder into the Carafe, remove the Basket and Carafe and allow liquid to cool in the Carafe for 10 minutes. When cooled, pour liquid back into the Water Chamber.

4. Replace Basket and return Carafe to Warming Plate.

5. Switch Power Select Button to ON (I). Repeat procedure, allowing all the cleaning

solution to empty into the Carafe. After dripping has stopped, discard contents of Carafe.
