Using Your Coffeemaker

•Be certain On/Off switch is in OFF position.

•Fill glass carafe with cold tap water to desired cup capacity using markings as a measurement.

•Pour the desired amount of cold water into the water reservoir, 1-4 maximum.

•Place paper filter in the filter basket.

•Add ground coffee as desired; approximately 1 level tablespoon per cup, depending on your taste.

•Be sure the paper filter is properly centered before sliding the filter basket into position.

•Turn the On/Off switch ON.

•Hot water will be dispersed gently and evenly through the coffee grounds.

•When the coffee has finished brewing, warmer will keep the coffee at the proper serving temperature.

•When finished using the coffeemaker or when the carafe is empty, be sure to turn switch off.

Helpful Hints

•Fresh, cold tap water should be used in the machine at all times. DO NOT USE HOT WATER. Hot water that has been softened can make bitter coffee.

•Use a tablespoon to measure the blended coffee and place into the filter. Be sure filter is properly seated. For best results, use coffee recommended for automatic drip coffeemakers.

•When cleaning, do not use abrasive cleanser or caustic compounds. Wipe with damp cloth only. Unplug unit when cleaning or wiping.

•Except for special cleaning, do not pour any liquids except cold water into the water reservoir. NEVER REHEAT COFFEE BY PASSING IT THROUGH THE COFFEE

BREWING SYSTEM.

•Never turn on the unit unless water is in the reservoir, and the carafe and filter basket are in the proper position.

•NEVER IMMERSE COFFEEMAKER IN WATER.

•Unplug coffeemaker when not in use.

•Never put empty carafe on the warming plate when unit is plugged in, or hot plate is still hot. This could cause carafe to break.

•Use standard 4-cup coffee filters.

•Do not place carafe on open flame or electric stove, as it may break the carafe or burn the handle. Always start fresh coffee with a clean carafe.

•Do not bump carafe or allow to boil dry. Do not try to tighten the band as excessive pressure could lead to breakage.

•Be sure coffeemaker has finished brewing and drip cycle has been stopped before removing carafe to serve coffee.

•Keep your coffeemaker clean. Follow instructions for regular and occasional cleaning.

Special Cleaning

•Upon frequent usage, a lime deposit may form in the water reservoir. Special cleaning is recommended twice a month. In areas with extremely hard water, frequent cleaning may be required.

•For special cleaning, use the same procedure as recommended for first-time cleaning.
