Frequently Asked Questions - TCM850 BLACK & DECKER

How to prepare my first brew?

Before first use, wash the carafe, reservoir, and filter basket with soapy water. Run a brew cycle with water only (no coffee) to rinse the appliance.

Why won't the appliance turn on?

Check that the carafe is properly inserted with the spout aligned with the insertion sensor. The appliance only operates if the carafe is correctly placed.

How to program the brew in advance?

First set the clock using the HOURS and MINUTES buttons. Press and hold PROGRAM for 1 second, set the brew time, then press AUTO-ON. The green indicator confirms the programming.

Can I serve coffee during brewing?

Yes, thanks to the Sneak-A-Cup feature. Lower the serve button (POUR), remove the carafe, pour your cup, then replace the carafe. Brewing resumes automatically.

How to clean the carafe and accessories?

The filter basket and lid are dishwasher-safe (top rack). The carafe and reservoir should be hand washed with a soft sponge. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

How often should I descale the coffee maker?

Descale every 3 months or when brewing slows down. Use white vinegar (4 cups vinegar + water up to 6 cups), brew half, pause 30 min, then brew the rest. Rinse with two cycles of clean water.

What if coffee does not flow or flows slowly?

This may be due to a too tight filter or limescale buildup. Check the filter and basket, then perform descaling.

How to use the thermal carafe to keep coffee hot?

Make sure the lid is properly locked (arrows aligned). To serve, press the service button. The carafe keeps coffee hot for up to 4 hours off the appliance.

Can I order spare parts?

Yes, spare parts (brew chamber, filter basket, lid, reservoir, thermal carafe) are available online. Contact parts service at 1 800 738-0245.

What does the one-year warranty cover?

The one-year limited warranty covers material and workmanship defects. Keep your proof of purchase. For replacement, call 1 800 231-9786 or visit the website.

Accessories/Parts (USA/Canada)

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:
Read all instructions.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handle or knobs.
To protect against electric shock, do not place cord, plug or appliance in water or other liquids.

Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number on the cover of this manual.
The use of an accessory not evaluated for use with this appliance may cause injury.

Do not use this appliance for other than intended use.

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.

ELECTRIC 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.

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.
