and grounds. To remove filter basket from coffee maker (A) grasp basket handle and swing basket outward, and (B) with basket in far right position, lift up and pull basket hinge.

11.Brew-Through lid allows coffee to be poured with lid in “CLOSED” position so coffee freshness and temperature can be preserved.

NEVER POUR LIQUID FROM THERMAL CARAFE UNLESS LID IS IN “CLOSED” POSITION.

CORD STORAGE

A cord storage area is built into the base of the coffee maker so the desired length of cord can be used.

PAUSE & SERVE

This feature allows a cup of coffee to be poured before brew cycle has finished. Carefully remove thermal carafe, and the Pause & Serve feature will be automatically activated, temporarily stopping flow of coffee into thermal carafe. Return thermal carafe to platform immediately after pouring coffee, and the brewing process will resume.

IMPORTANT: Carafe must be returned to its position within 30 seconds to prevent filter basket from overflowing.

NOTE: Strength of coffee poured mid-cycle may vary in strength from finished brew.

CAUTION: During brew cycle, basket must be closed securely since basket in improper position may cause hot water or coffee to overflow.

PRECAUTIONS

1.Do not place a cloth or otherwise restrict airflow beneath coffee maker.

2.To avoid accidents, make sure thermal carafe lid is in “CLOSED” position during brewing and while pouring; do not pour in the direction

of people.

3.When pouring, use thermal carafe handle only.

4.CAUTION: Burns may result from spilled hot liquid and/or contact with hot parts.

THERMAL CARAFE

PRECAUTIONS

Your thermal carafe contains a vacuum-sealed double glass inner liner. Improper use will damage the liner. Please follow these instructions:

1.Clean inside of carafe with lukewarm water. Turn carafe upside down to dry.

2.Never clean inside of carafe with a hard implement, scouring pad or other abrasive cleaners; rinse only with water. Scratches in the glass may cause glass liner to weaken and break over time.

3.Never insert your hand into carafe for cleaning. A damaged glass liner can cut your hand and cause serious injuries.

4.Never stir inside of carafe with a spoon or other utensil.

5.Never fill carafe to the rim. Fill to a maximum of one inch from the top of liner.

6.Before adding very hot or very cold liquid to carafe, first rinse with warm or cold water, depending upon what is being prepared. Otherwise, sudden temperature change could damage glass liner.

7.Never use ice cubes in carafe.

8.Never fill carafe with carbonated beverages.

9.Never drink directly from carafe. Always check beverages for broken glass before drinking.

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

Daily

Always unplug coffee maker and allow to cool before cleaning. Wash filter basket in hot, sudsy water. Rinse inside of thermal carafe with lukewarm water. Wipe coffee maker and outside of thermal carafe with damp cloth, then dry. Never put coffee maker or thermal carafe in water or in the dishwasher. For hard to remove stains, use a plastic mesh pad or a cloth dampened in vinegar. Do not use metal cleaning pad or abrasive cleaners.

Monthly

Minerals found in water can clog coffee maker or reduce its efficiency. To prevent this, fill thermal carafe with 2 cups vinegar. Add cold water to top.

Pour water/vinegar mixture into reservoir opening. Place empty thermal carafe (with lid securely closed) on platform and press “ON” button. After water/vinegar mixture has been cycled through, press “OFF” button. Rinse by cycling through 2 or 3 more carafes of plain cold tap water. Do not pour any liquid other than cold tap water or water/vinegar mixture into reservoir opening when cleaning.
