Note: If the carafe is not returned to the warming plate within 30 seconds, the
coffee will overflow from the filter basket.
8. The warming plate will automatically cycle to maintain serving
temperature as long as unit is on.
9. Press the ‘ ’ (OFF) button when carafe is empty or not in use. The red
indicator light will turn off. The auto safety shut-off will always
automatically turn off the coffeemaker after two hours from start of brew cycle.
10. Unplug and allow to cool for 10 minutes between cycles.
IMPORTANT: If not allowed to cool before immediate repeated use, water
placed in water chamber may become overheated. Aspray of steam could be
released from openings, creating a risk of burns.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR BREWING
• The markings on the water level indicator reflect the quantity of fresh water.
The quantity of brewed coffee is less because the coffee grounds absorb
water.
• Never use hot or carbonated water. This will damage the appliance.
• Never pour milk, liquid coffee, tea, etc. into the water chamber.
CARE AND CLEANING
1. After brewing process, press the ‘ ’ (OFF) button; the red indicator
light will turn off.
2. Unplug and allow to cool completely before cleaning.
3. Open lid and use handle to lift out removable filter liner. Discard coffee
grounds and paper filter. Wash removable filter liner, carafe and lid in
warm sudsy water, rinse and dry. Replace liner by fitting notch and
handle in groove of filter basket.
4. Clean the outside of the coffeemaker with a damp cloth.
CAUTION: DO NOT IMMERSE CORD, PLUG OR COFFEEMAKER UNIT IN
WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
The life of your coffeemaker will be extended if you replace the charcoal
filter as recommended, after 6 weeks or 60 uses. Do not attempt to clean the
water filter. Remove a new charcoal filter from the plastic bag and rinse
thoroughly under running water before placing into water chamber.
DESCALING
We recommend you deep clean your coffeemaker once a month because
mineral deposits from tap water can form a coating in the coffeemaker,
causing slower brewing time and possibly an off flavor in the coffee.
To deep clean your coffeemaker:
1. Remove water filter holder assembly.
2. Pour 1/2 cup vinegar into the carafe, and about 4 cups of cold water, pour
into coffeemaker.
3. Place a clean paper filter in the filter basket and close.
4. Follow “BREWING” instructions, (without coffee).
5. When the coffeemaker has finished dripping, turn coffeemaker off.
Carefully remove the carafe and place on a heat resistant surface. Wait
15 minutes and pour solution back into coffeemaker. Be sure that basket
is still in proper position.
6. Return carafe to warming plate.
