SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If a long extension cord is used, the marked electri- cal rating of the extension cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

NOTICE:

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will 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 modify the plug in any way.

IMPORTANT UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS

Place the box on a large sturdy flat surface. Lift the topmost cardboard insert from the box. The top of the coffeemaker will be visible. Turn the box so that the back side of the coffeemaker is down and slide the coffeemaker from the box. After the coffeemaker has been removed, place the box out of the way and, with one hand on the cardboard insert which protects the carafe, turn the coffeemaker upright. Carefully remove the cardboard carafe insert by placing one hand on the carafe to hold it in place, and gently sliding the insert away from the coffeemaker, grasp the carafe by its handle, remove

it from the heater plate and remove the polybag. Lift the coffeemaker from the cardboard tray, and remove the polybag covering the coffeemaker. We suggest you save all packing materials in the event that future shipping of the machine is needed. Keep all plastic bags away from children.

THE COFFEE BAR

FLAVOR SYSTEM

All coffee has the rich aromatic flavors we associate with a great cup of coffee, as well as the acidic, bitter flavors we associate with a bad cup. Commercial brewers have discovered that the “good” and “bad” flavors wash out of the grounds at a different rate, with the good flavors washing out faster than the bad. The trick is to use only enough water to wash out the good flavors and leave the bad behind. The relatively small amount of water needed to do this leaves a very strong cup of coffee, so it is necessary to add some water to bring it to a pleasant strength.

The Coffee Bar™ Flavor System does the work for you. Using the proportions and grind recom- mended on page 5, simply set the flavor system dial for the number of cups you intend to brew. The Coffee Bar™ Flavor System automatically meters the correct amount of water through the grounds and directs the rest of the water into the carafe.
