SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk
of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord. Extension cords are available from local hardware
stores and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an
extension cord is required, special care and caution is necessary. Also
the cord must be: (1) marked with an electrical rating of 125 V., and at
least 13 A., 1625 W., and (2) the cord must be arranged so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over accidentally.
POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade
is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of
electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat
this safety feature.
ELECTRIC POWER: If the electric circuit is overloaded with other
appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be
operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.
This product is for household use only.

Helpful Hints for Brewing
• The markings on the water window reflect the quantity of fresh
water to be used.The quantity of brewed coffee is less because the
coffee grounds absorb water.
• Never use hot or carbonated water. This will damage the
appliance.
• Never pour milk, liquid coffee, tea, or other liquid, except water, into
the water chamber.
Care and Cleaning
1. Turn coffeemaker OFF. The indicator light will be off.
2. Unplug and allow to cool completely before cleaning.
3. Open hinged lid on top of unit and remove filter basket.
Discard coffee grounds and paper filter. Wash and dry all
removable parts. Replace basket by fitting notch in groove of
unit.
4. Clean inside of lid and the outside of the coffeemaker with a
damp cloth.
CAUTION: DO NOT IMMERSE CORD, PLUG OR COFFEE-
MAKER UNIT IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
Descaling
We recommend you clean your coffeemaker once a month with a
solution of vinegar and water. Mineral deposits from tap water can
form a coating in the coffeemaker, causing slower brewing time
and possibly an off flavor in the coffee.
1. Pour 1⁄2 cup vinegar into the carafe, and add cold water up to
the 4 cup mark. Pour into the water reservoir.
2. Place a clean paper filter in the filter basket and close.

3. Follow brewing instructions (without coffee.)
4. When the unit has finished brewing, turn coffeemaker OFF.
Carefully remove the carafe and place on a heat resistant
surface. Wait 15 minutes and pour the solution back into the
coffee maker.
5. Turn unit ON again. Allow solution to empty into carafe; turn
unit OFF. After dripping stops, discard solution.
6. Allow coffeemaker to cool 10 minutes. Rinse it out by brewing
a carafe full of cold water (without coffee). Repeat process and
discard filter.
7. Wash and dry all removable parts.
8. When coffeemaker has cooled, wipe exterior with a damp
cloth.
Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above
cleaning must be performed by an authorized service center.
