Usage Tips

•Always use a good quality filter to obtain the best results possible.

•Take care not to spill loose coffee grounds between paper filter and filter basket.

•Make sure the filter basket is securely in place.

•The carafe lid or mug(s) must be screwed tightly in place.

•The carafe or mug(s) must be placed properly and level on the base before starting brew cycle.

•Mugs must be flush with mug guides for coffee to flow properly.

•Always place coffeemaker on a flat, even surface. When brewing into two mugs, coffeemaker must be on a flat, even surface for equal distribution of coffee between the mugs.

•Press the seamed edge of the paper filter toward the center of paper filter before inserting into filter basket so that the paper filter fits the shape of the filter basket.

•Rinse filter basket with water before inserting paper filter into basket. The wet surface of the basket helps the paper adhere to the basket.

•For optimal holding temperature, rinse the inside of the carafe or mugs with hot water before brewing.

Carafe Safety Precautions

The thermal carafe provided with your coffeemaker has a fragile, double-walled glass liner.

•Potential danger for personal injury if you fail to read and follow these safety precautions.

•Glass is fragile and can break which could result in personal injury.

•Do not use a carafe with a cracked glass liner or a carafe having a loose or weakened handle.

•This carafe is designed to be used only on the base of your coffeemaker. Do not use on a gas or electric rangetop, or in a microwave or conventional oven.

•To avoid breakage, handle carafe with care. Avoid impact. Glass will break as a result of impact. Use care when filling with water to avoid hitting faucet.

•Allow to cool before washing or adding liquids.

•Do not set carafe on a hot surface.

•Do not clean with steel wool pads, abrasive cleanser, or any other materials that may scratch.

•Do not place fingers inside carafe. When handling, be careful if wearing any hand jewelry, especially diamond rings. Jewelry can scratch the glass, which increases possibility of breakage.

•Do not bump carafe.

•Discard carafe if it is cracked.

•To avoid accidents, do not pour in the direction of people.

•If stirring in the carafe, use only wooden, plastic, or rubber utensils. Do not use metal utensils.

•Follow the above safety precautions carefully to avoid serious burn injuries which may result if breakage occurs while carafe holds heated liquids.
