SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord is not recommended for use with this product, but if one must be used:

The marked electrical rating must be at least as great as that of the product.
Arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over or pulled.

WARNING:

This product is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other blade) to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This is a safety feature. The plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless you can fully insert the plug into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

Before First Use

Add water into water tank to the max level and brew water for several times without coffee, then discard the water. Clean all detachable parts thoroughly with warm water.
Attention: First use may cause a slight odor or small smoking upon heating, it is normal. This is a result of the heating element chemical reaction. It quickly goes away.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

Using Your Coffee Maker:

WARNING: Avoid contact of hot parts.
Note: For best results, use and measure medium ground coffee with a tablespoon. (included)

Lift the lid to the open position.
Fill the reusable filter with appropriate amount of medium ground coffee. (See chart) Paper filters may be used in place of the included reusable filter. Accepts #4 Paper Cone Filters.
Gently shake the reusable filter side to side to level grounds and place the reusable filter into filter holder. Place inside the coffee maker.
NOTICE: Make sure the Glass Carafe is fully placed on the warming plate or the water and the grounds will overflow from the filter basket. This can cause injury and damage to property. The amount of coffee brewed will always be less than the amount of water poured in the water reservoir due to absorption by the coffee grounds.
Press the power switch from “0” to “I”. Your coffee maker will begin to brew coffee and when it is done, it will keep your coffee hot until you turn it off. This machine does NOT have an auto shut-off feature.
This coffee maker has a Pause and Serve feature that allows you to sneak a cup of coffee from the Glass Carafe. This usually allows you to remove the Glass Carafe for about 30 seconds.
To turn the coffee maker off push the switch back to the “O” position.

Cleaning Your Coffee Maker:

WARNING: Always unplug the product and allow it to cool before cleaning or storing. NOTICE: To avoid damaging the product, do not pour cold water into the Decanter after use.

Once cooled, empty the cooled coffee grounds. If paper filter is being used toss in waste bin. If using reusable filter toss coffee grounds and rinse reusable filter and store back in coffee machine.
Clean all detachable parts after each use with running water and mild soapy. Do not put in dishwasher. Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads as they can damage the appliance.
Wipe exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Never submerge the Coffee Maker.
Dry all parts thoroughly before storing or using again.

Glass Carafe Special Instructions:

This Glass Carafe is designed for use only with your Coffee Maker and should never be used on a range top stove, oven, or microwave of any kind.
Do not use a cracked glass carafe or a glass carafe with a loose or weakened handle.
Discard the carafe immediately if it is ever boiled dry.
Protect the carafe from sharp blows, scratches, or rough handling. Do not disassemble the carafe.
