Before YOU USE Your Coffeemaker

Before preparing coffee in your new coffemaker, thoroughly clean the carafe, carafe lid, removable filter basket, and water chamber cover in hot, sudsy water. Rinse and dry. Clean the inside of the coffeemaker by brewing two full carafes of tap water (see “Brewing Instructions” on p.7). Do not place coffee in filter basket for this initial cleaning. Note: at the end of first cycle, turn coffeemaker off and wait ten minutes. Turn unit on and brew second carafe of water. Replace disassembled parts.

SPECIAL CARE FOR YOUR CARAFE

A damaged carafe may result in possible burns from hot liquid. To avoid

breaking■ the carafe:

Do not allow all liquid to evaporate from carafe. Do not heat carafe

■when empty.

Discard carafe if damages in any manner. A chip or crack could result

■in breakage or contaminate liquid contents with glass particles. Never use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers as they may scratch

■and weaken the glass.

Do not place carafe on or near a hot gas or electric burner, in a

■heated oven, or in a microwave oven. Avoid rough handling and sharp blows.

COFFEE FILTERS

Cone-shaped paper filters are available locally at grocery stores and where coffeemakers are sold. Standard #4 filters should be used. Permanent gold filters may also be purchased, eliminating the need for disposable paper filters.

The use of basket style paper filters is not recommended, since they do not conform to the shape of the filter basket and may cause coffee to back up and spill over during brewing.

BREWING INSTRUCTIONS

1.Plug coffeemaker into AC electrical outlet which meets the voltage indicated on the appliance.

2.Fill carafe with cold tap water and pour into water chamber. Markings on the carafe indicate level of water required to brew desired number of cups.

NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee will always be less than the amount of water placed into coffeemaker, since about 10% is absorbed by coffee ground and filter.

3.Place coffee filter in filter basket. Measure one level tablespoon of drip or regular grind coffee for each cup of coffee to suit your taste.

4.Return filter basket to closed position.

5.Place carafe on warming plate.
