Notes on the plug and the power cord

• This coffee maker has a polarized plug. Do not defeat the safety purpose of a polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
• A short power cord is provided to reduce the possibility of the cord becoming entangled or causing someone to trip.
• Longer, detachable power cords (extension cords) may be used if care is exercised in their use. If such a cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the coffee maker.
• The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over a counter or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Main features

Using your coffee maker

Note: Using your coffee maker for the first time Fill the tank with water to the maximum level and brew plain water several times to clean it. Discard the water each time. Clean and dry all parts thoroughly according to “Cleaning and maintaining your coffee maker” on page 8.

1. Open the water tank cover and fill the water tank with cold drinking water.
   Note: Do not fill the water tank reservoir above the Max fill line. The coffee maker can brew a maximum of 10 cups of coffee per brewing cycle.

2. Place the funnel into the funnel holder, then place the filter into the funnel. You can also use a #4, cone-style paper filter.

3. Add dry, ground coffee to the filter according to personal taste, then close the water tank cover.

4. Place the glass carafe in place on the warming plate. Make sure that the center of the carafe aligns with the bottom of the funnel.

5. Plug in the coffee maker and turn it on. The light on the switch turns on and the water begins to heat. You can shut off the power at any time by turning off the switch.
   Note: Your coffee maker is designed with a pause-and-serve feature that allows you to temporarily remove the carafe and serve a cup of coffee at any time during the brewing cycle. The brewing cycle is not interrupted and no coffee drips from the filter. Do not remove the carafe for more than 30 seconds and never return an empty carafe to the warming plate when it is still warm.

6. After the brewing cycle is complete, remove the carafe and serve the coffee.
   Note: Some of the water you add to the water tank is absorbed by the dry coffee, so the coffee that results from the brewing cycle is always somewhat less.
   Caution: Be careful and pour slowly when pouring hot coffee.

After brewing, your coffee maker automatically switches to warming mode, which keeps your coffee warm for up to one hour.
Note: Make sure that you unplug your coffee maker when it’s not in use.

Cleaning and maintaining your coffee maker

Caution: Be sure that you unplug your coffee maker and let it cool down before cleaning. Never immerse the plug, cord, or base unit in water or other liquids.

1. Clean all detachable parts after each use in hot, sudsy water.

2. Wipe external surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove stains.
   Note: Do not attempt to clean the inside of the water tank. Doing so may leave a residue of lint that may clog your coffee maker. Simply rinse with cold water periodically.

3. Water droplets may build up in the area above the funnel and drip onto the warming base during brewing. Wipe this area off with a clean, dry cloth after each use.

4. Replace all parts and your coffee maker is ready for use.

Cleaning mineral deposits
To keep your coffee maker operating efficiently, you should periodically remove the mineral deposits that normally occur in most areas.

1. Fill the tank with water and household descaler or vinegar (use a 4:1 solution) to the maximum level indicated on the water gauge. You can also use citric acid, with a dilution of 100 parts water to three parts citric acid.
2. Place the glass carafe in place on the warming plate. Make sure that the center of the carafe aligns with the bottom of the funnel. Make sure that the funnel is in place and that there is no dry coffee in the filter.
3. Turn on the coffee maker and allow it to “brew” the descaling solution.
4. After brewing about one cup of the solution, turn off the coffee maker and let it sit for about 15 minutes, the repeat step 3.
5. Brew the descaling solution until the water tank is dry.
6. Rinse the coffee maker in water at least three times.

Tips for great tasting coffee

• A clean coffee maker is essential for great coffee. Regularly clean your coffee maker as specified in “Cleaning and maintaining your coffee maker” on page 8.
• Always use fresh, cold water.
• Store unused coffee in a cool, dry place. After opening, reseal the coffee tightly and store it in a refrigerator to maintain freshness.
• For optimum coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and finely grind them just before brewing.
• Do not reuse coffee grounds and do not reheat brewed coffee.
• Clean the coffee maker when over-extraction causes oiliness (small droplets of oil on the surface of brewed, black coffee). This may occur more frequently when you use dark, heavily roasted coffees.

Troubleshooting

Caution: Do not try to repair your coffee maker yourself. Doing so invalidates the warranty.

positioned in the funnel holder and that the water tank cover is fully closed.

•      Avoid overfilling the water tank.

•      If you have checked all of these items and the coffee maker is still leaking, contact our service center.

Why does my coffee maker brew slower than it used to?| Your coffee maker may require cleaning to remove mineral deposits that build up over time. This is normal.
Why would my coffee maker overflow?| •      If the carafe is removed for more than 30 seconds while the coffee maker is brewing it may cause it to overflow. Make sure that the carafe is replaced promptly after removing.

•      The carafe may not have been properly positioned under the funnel. Be sure the carafe is centered directly under the funnel.

•      Using too much coffee may cause the coffee maker to overflow.

•      The filter may have become folded over. Make sure that the filter is properly centered in the funnel. Try wetting the edges to prevent filter collapse.

•      Using coffee that is too finely ground can sometimes result in overflow. Use only coffee that is ground for automatic drip coffeemakers.

Why isn’t my coffee maker brewing coffee?| •      Make sure that your coffee maker is plugged into a working 120V electrical outlet.

•      Make sure that the power switch is turned on.

•      Make sure that the water tank has water in it.

•      The coffee maker may require cleaning to remove mineral deposits that build up over time.

following reasons:

•      The age of coffee beans affects the taste. Old coffee may taste stale. Coffee tastes best if you use fresh beans.

•      Quality of coffee beans and type of water you use affect the coffee taste. Use good beans and fresh, clean water.

•      The cleanliness of your coffee maker affects the coffee taste. Make sure to clean the coffee maker every 40-80 brews.
