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.

Tips for Best-Tasting Coffee

  • 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, chose 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 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 of grounds for each cup of coffee being made. To avoid overflow, use about 1/3 less grounds when brewing decaf or flavored coffees.
  • 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.

  1. Unplug Coffee Maker.
  2. Carafe, Carafe Lid and Filter Basket are dishwasher-safe in Top-Rack Only or wash parts in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry.
  3. Wipe outside of Coffee Maker with a soft damp cloth and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they will scratch the finish.
  4. For easy storage, insert the Carafe Handle into the Carafe Handle Storage and stuff the cord into the Cord Storage opening.

How to Replace the Water Filter (optional accessory)
