Frequently Asked Questions - DCM600B BLACK & DECKER

How to use the Black & Decker DCM600B coffee maker?

Open the lid, pour cold water to the desired level, place a paper filter in the filter basket, add ground coffee (1 tablespoon per cup), close the lid, place the empty carafe on the warming plate, plug in and press the On/Off switch. The red light turns on and brewing begins.

How much coffee should I use for optimal results?

Start with 1 tablespoon of medium-ground coffee per cup. Adjust to taste.

How do I clean the coffee maker?

Unplug and let cool. Wash the filter basket and carafe with lid in the dishwasher (top rack) or by hand in warm soapy water. Wipe the inside of the lid with a damp cloth.

How do I descale the machine?

Every 3 months, pour white vinegar up to the 2-cup mark, add water up to the 5-cup mark. Put a paper filter, brew half the solution, let it sit for 15 minutes, then finish the cycle. Rinse by brewing fresh water.

What should I do if the coffee maker doesn't work?

Check that the plug is properly inserted and the switch is in the On position. Ensure the reservoir has water and the carafe is correctly placed on the warming plate. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.

Can I use reusable filters?

The machine is designed for basket-type paper filters (4, 8, or 12 cups). You can use a compatible reusable filter, but make sure it does not block the flow.

Is the carafe compatible with other machines?

No, the carafe (ref. DCM600-02) is specifically designed for this model. Use it only with the DCM600B.

How can I avoid burns?

Do not touch hot surfaces (warming plate, carafe). Use handles. Do not remove the lid during brewing. Wait for cooling before cleaning.

What if the coffee tastes like vinegar after descaling?

Rinse by brewing 2-3 cycles of clear water. If the smell persists, replace the filter and rinse again.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement parts (filter basket DCM600-01, carafe DCM600-02) are available online or by contacting parts service at 1 800 738-0245.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)

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 fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long 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,

2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and

3) 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.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel or in Latin America by an authorized service center.
