SAFETY FEATURES
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

1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long detachable extension cord is used:
   a) The marked electrical rating of the power cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
   b) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
   c) The 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: This appliance has important markings on the plug blade. The attachment plug or entire cord set (if the plug is molded onto the cord) is not suitable for  replacement. If damaged, the appliance shall be replaced.

3. Press the HR and MIN Buttons until the correct time is shown on the display.
   The colon will continue to flash even after the time is set.

4. In the afternoon, the light next to “PM” on the Control Panel’s display will illuminate on the display. If the light next to “PM” is not illuminated, the time is set to AM.

Brewing Hot Coffee

1. Open the cover. Fill the Water Reservoir with your desired amount of water.
   The “12” line on the side of the Water Reservoir represents a full carafe of coffee; do not fill past this line.
   Note: Use spring water or filtered water. Distilled water lacks the minerals necessary to bind to the elements of coffee. Filtered water will limit impurities and excessive  minerals that can detrimentally impact coffee flavor and machine performance.

2. Insert a basket-type paper filter into the Brew Basket.

3. Add your desired amount of ground coffee to the filter. Close the Lid, ensuring that it clicks into place.

4. Ensure that the Carafe’s lid is properly attached to the empty Carafe.
   Close the Carafe’s lid.
   Note: Coffee may overflow if the Carafe’s lid is not placed properly.

6. If the appliance is not already plugged in, plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.

7. If you want to brew strong coffee, press the Strong Button once. The light next to “STRONG” on the Control Panel’s display will illuminate. To brew regular-strength  coffee again, press the Strong Button again to darken the “STRONG” indicator on the display.
   Note: We recommend using the Strong setting to ensure the best flavor whenever brewing 4 cups of coffee or fewer.

8. Press the Brew Button to begin brewing coffee. The light on the Brew Button will illuminate once pressed. You can cancel the brewing process at any time by pressing  the Brew Button again.

9. The appliance will keep coffee hot for 4 hours before turning off automatically. The light on the Brew Button will remain illuminated while the appliance is keeping your  coffee warm.

10. Once the coffee grounds have cooled, carefully open the Lid and discard the grounds. Afterward, close the Lid.

Sneak-a-Cup Feature
If you remove the Carafe during the brewing process, the brewing process will pause. Return the Carafe to the appliance within 30 seconds to prevent overflow.

3. While the Brew Later time on the display is blinking, use the HR and MIN Buttons to program the Brew Later time.

4. Press the Brew Later Button again to confirm the Brew Later time.
   The time will also be confirmed if no buttons are pressed for 4 seconds.

“CLEAN” will scroll across the display System three times to remind you to clean the appliance. If you would like to clean your appliance prior to 60 brew cycles because of  hard water, you may do so.

3. Make sure the lid of the Carafe is in place and place the empty Carafe on the Carafe Plate.
4. Press and hold the Brew Button for 4 seconds.
5. The light on the Brew Button will illuminate.
6. ”CLEAN” will scroll across the display during the auto-clean cycle.
