SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

⚠ WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

How to Make Coffee

WARNING Burn Hazard.

To avoid hot coffee overflowing from the filter basket:

• When using decaffeinated coffee, do not exceed the coffee manufacturer's recommended serving amount.
• If filter basket overflow occurs, unplug coffee maker and allow coffee in filter basket to cool before removing filter basket.

WARNING Shock Hazard.

Do not immerse cord, plug, or coffee maker in any liquid.

⚠ WARNING Burn Hazard. The carafe must be replaced within

20 seconds of being removed to prevent overflow.

1. Lift lid. Move swivel showerhead over the water reservoir and remove filter basket.

2. Place a cupcake-style paper filter in filter basket. A permanent filter may also be used.

3. For each cup of coffee being made, place one level tablespoon (15 ml) of coffee into filter.

4. Add filter basket and lower lid. The showerhead will go back into place when you lower the lid.

Best-Tasting Coffee Tips

• All coffees are made from either arabica beans or robusta beans, or some combination of both. Arabica beans are slightly more expensive, but tend to produce better-tasting coffee.
• Ground coffee will become stale much faster than whole beans. If buying preground coffee, choose a package with the latest expiration date or a smaller quantity.
• If grinding whole beans, set your coffee grinder on a fine/medium grind. This will yield the best-tasting grounds. Try to use freshly ground coffee within about a week of grinding.
• Using a water filter, filtered water, or bottled water will yield better-tasting coffee than tap water.
• Use approximately 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of grounds for each cup of coffee being made. To avoid overflow, use slightly less grounds (3/4 tablespoon [11 ml]) when brewing decaf or flavored coffees. Also, be aware that using coffee that is ground too finely may also cause the filter basket to overflow.
• Make sure your coffee maker is clean. See "Care and Cleaning" section.

Care and Cleaning

WARNING Shock Hazard.

Do not immerse cord, plug, or coffee maker in any liquid. All coffee makers should be cleaned at least once a month (once a week for areas with hard water).

1. Remove optional water filter.
2. Pour 1 pint (2 cups/473 ml) vinegar into water reservoir.
3. Press I/O (ON) button. Press I/O (OFF) button again after 30 seconds and wait 30 minutes. Press I/O (ON) button. Press I/O (OFF) button again when finished.
4. Run 2–3 more brew cycles with CLEAN WATER only. Allow to cool between cycles.
5. Carafe and filter basket are top-rack dishwasher-safe. Wipe the outside of the coffee maker with a damp cloth and dry.
6. DO NOT use the "SANI" setting when washing in the dishwasher. "SANI" cycle temperatures could damage your product. If using a water filter, it should be replaced every 60 cycles for the best tasting coffee.

Carafe Safety Precautions

This symbol alerts you to the potential danger for personal injury if you fail to read and follow these safety precautions.

This symbol reminds you that glass is fragile and can break which could result in personal injury.

• Do not use a cracked carafe or a carafe having a loose or weakened handle.
• This carafe is designed to be used only on the warming plate of your coffee maker. Do not use on a gas or electric rangetop, or in a microwave or conventional oven.
• To avoid breakage, handle carafe with care. Avoid impact. Glass will break as a result of impact. Use care when filling with water to avoid hitting faucet.
• Do not place hot carafe on cool or wet surface. Allow to cool before washing or adding liquids.
• Do not set empty carafe on a hot heating surface.
• Do not clean with steel wool pads, abrasive cleanser, or any other materials that may scratch.
• Do not place hands inside carafe. When handling, be careful if wearing any hand jewelry, especially diamond rings. Jewelry can scratch the glass, which increases possibility of breakage.
• Do not bump, scratch, or boil dry.
• Discard carafe if it is cracked, scratched, or heated while empty for an extended period of time.
• To avoid accidents, do not pour in the direction of people.
• If stirring in the carafe, use only wooden, plastic, or rubber utensils. Do not use metal utensils.
• Follow the above safety precautions carefully to avoid serious burn injuries which may result if breakage occurs while carafe holds heated liquids.

Troubleshooting

Filter basket overflows or coffee brews slowly.

• Excessive amounts of ground coffee.
- Decaffeinated and/or coffee ground too finely can cause overflow. Use slightly less grounds when brewing decaffeinated, flavored, or finely ground coffee. Or use medium ground coffee.
• Coffee maker needs cleaning.
• Coffee grounds between paper filter and filter basket.
• Paper filter not open and in proper position.
- Rinse filter basket before inserting paper filter so the edges will remain pressed against the sides of the basket.
• Poor-quality paper filter.

If using a paper filter:

Coffee tastes bad.

• Coffee maker needs cleaning.
- Coffee ground too coarsely or too finely. Use medium ground coffee.
• Coffee-to-water ratio unbalanced. Adjust for personal preference.
• Poor coffee quality and freshness.
- Poor water quality (use filtered or bottled water).

Coffee not brewing or unit will not turn on.

• Water reservoir is empty.
- Unit is unplugged.
- Power outage.
• Power surge. Unplug; then plug the unit back in.
• Clock requires reset after power outage.
