• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact  Consumer Support at the number listed in this manual.

• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

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 plugin anyway.

CARE AND CLEANING

This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel.
CLEANING

• Be sure the unit is unplugged and has cooled.

• Wash the removable parts in the top rack of the dishwasher or wash by hand in hot water with dish detergent.

• Wipe the appliance’s exterior surface, control panel, and carafe plate with a soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Never
  immerse the coffeemaker in water.

• To clean the inside of the cover, open the cover and leave it in the open position. Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth.

AUTO CLEAN™ SYSTEM

De-scaling with the Auto Clean™ function
Over time, calcium deposits or “scale” may build up in your brewer. Scale is non-toxic but if left unattended will hinder brewer performance and cause premature failure. Regularly descaling your brewer helps to maintain quality coffee as well as the lifespan of the heating element, and other internal parts that come in contact with water throughout the brewing process.
To make the de-scaling process as effortless as possible, an Auto Clean™ system has been programmed into your coffeemaker.
When should I use the Auto Clean™ function?
You should clean your coffeemaker after every 60 brews (approximately 2 months). After 60 brews, the clean warning will be activated and displayed
at the beginning of each brew cycle. “CLEAN” will scroll across the display three times to remind you to clean the coffeemaker.
If you would like to clean your coffeemaker prior to 60 brew cycles because of hard water, you may do so.
How do I use the Auto Clean™ function?
Follow the simple steps below. Your coffeemaker will take care of the rest.

1. Combine 6 cups of white vinegar and 4 cups of cold water in the carafe.
2. Pour into a water reservoir.
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 On/Off button for 4 seconds
5. On/Off Button LED illuminates (no blinking)
6. “CLEAN” scrolls through the display continuously and the Auto Clean cycle begins.

During the Auto Clean™ Cycle Function:

1. The machine will brew approximately 5 cups of cleaning solution

2. Part of the mixture will brew through. The remaining mixture will be held in the coffeemaker for 30 minutes before completing its brew.

3. The machine will continue brewing remainder of cleaning solution
   Note: The entire cleaning cycle will take 45–60 minutes to complete.

4. When the coffeemaker completes the AUTO CLEAN™ cycle, it shuts off automatically.

5. Brew freshwater through appliance following instructions given in GETTING STARTED before brewing coffee again.
