Frequently Asked Questions - TCMKT850C BLACK & DECKER

How to clean the machine before first use?

Wash the thermal carafe, lid, reservoir, and filter basket with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly. Then, brew plain water without coffee (up to 6 cups) and discard it.

How to make coffee with this machine?

Fill the reservoir with cold water (max 8 cups). Place a #4 filter in the filter basket, add ground coffee (1 tablespoon per 2 cups). Close the brew chamber. Lock the carafe lid and insert it with the spout aligned with the sensor. Plug in and press ON/OFF.

How to program brewing in advance?

First set the clock using HOUR and MINUTE buttons. Prepare the machine with water and coffee. Press PROGRAM for 1 second until the green light blinks. Set the desired brew time. Press AUTO-ON: the green light stays on. Brewing starts automatically at the programmed time.

Can I serve coffee before brewing is complete?

How to descale the coffee maker?

Pour white vinegar up to 4 cups into the reservoir, fill with cold water to 6 cups. Place a filter, close the chamber, insert the locked carafe.

Only the filter basket and brew chamber lid are dishwasher safe on the top rack. The thermal carafe and reservoir should be hand washed with warm soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

What to do if the display doesn't work?

Check that the machine is plugged in and the outlet works. If the display remains off, unplug and replug after a few minutes. If the problem persists, contact customer service at 1-800-231-9786.

The machine won't start, why?

Make sure the carafe is correctly inserted with the spout aligned with the insertion sensor. If the sensor is not activated, the machine won't work. Also check that the reservoir is properly seated and the ON/OFF switch is pressed.

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.

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.
