BREWING

Sneak-A-Cup®Interrupt Feature

You can pour a cup of coffee while coffee is brewing without leaking from the brew basket. When finished pouring coffee, place the carafe under brew basket. The brewing process continues.

Important: To avoid possible overflow after removing the carafe, be sure to replace the carafe under the brew basket within 30 seconds to prevent the basket from overflowing.

Carafe Care

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

•Do not allow all liquid to evaporate from the carafe while on the "Keep Hot" plate or heat the carafe when empty.

•Discard the carafe if chipped, cracked, or damaged in any manner.

•Never use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers; they will scratch and weaken the glass.

•Do not place the carafe on or near a gas or electric burner, in a heated oven, or in a microwave oven.

•Avoid rough handling and sharp blows.

Mineral Deposits and Clogging

Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your coffeemaker. Cleaning is recommended every 3 months. Excessive steaming or a prolonged brewing cycle is a sign that a cleaning is needed. The frequency of flushing out deposits is affected by your usage and water hardness. During cleaning, more steaming occurs than when brewing coffee and may emit spurts of steam.

1.Pour white vinegar into water reservoir up to 6-cup level on water viewer. Add water up to 12-cup line.

2.Put a paper filter in the brew basket and close the cover. Set empty carafe on the "Keep Hot" plate.

3.Turn on coffeemaker and let half the cleaning solution brew into carafe (till water level goes down to around "5"). Turn off coffeemaker and let it soak for at least 15 minutes to soften the deposits.

4.Turn on coffeemaker and brew remaining cleaning solution into carafe.

5.Turn off coffeemaker, empty carafe and discard soiled filter.

6.Fill reservoir with water to 12-cup line, replace empty carafe, then turn on coffeemaker for a complete brew cycle to flush out remaining cleaning solution. You may have to repeat this to eliminate the vinegar smell/taste.

7.Wash the brew basket and carafe as instructed in "CLEANING".
