- Read all Instructions.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
- To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, do not immerse the cord, plugs, or the carafe in water or other liquid.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
- Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or a counter, or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
- Always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “off”, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
- Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use.
- Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during the brewing cycle.
- Do not attempt to modify or extend the power cord of this appliance.
- Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This could result in an electric shock.
- Unplug the power cord by holding the plug, never by pulling the cord.
- 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.
- Appliances with glass containers:
The container is designed for use with this appliance. It must never be used on a range top. Do not set a hot container on a wet or cold surface.
- Do not use a cracked container or a container having a loose or weakened handle.

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
- Open the water tank cover and fill the water tank with cold drinking water.
- Place the funnel into the funnel holder, then place the filter into the funnel. You can also use a #4, cone-style paper filter.
- Add dry, ground coffee to the filter according to personal taste, then close the water tank cover.
- 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.
- 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.
- After the brewing cycle is complete, remove the carafe and serve the coffee.
- After brewing, your coffee maker automatically switches to warming mode, which keeps your coffee warm for up to one hour.
Cleaning and maintaining your coffee maker
- Clean all detachable parts after each use in hot, sudsy water.
- Wipe external surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove stains
- Water droplets may buildup 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.
- 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.
- Fill the tank with water and household descale 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.
- 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.
- Turn on the coffee maker and allow it to “brew” the descaling solution.
- 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.
- Brew the descaling solution until the water tank is dry.
- 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.
