IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to
persons, including the following:
❍ Read all instructions.
❍ Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handle or knobs.
❍ To protect against electric shock, do not place cord, plug or appliance
in water or other liquids.
❍ Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
❍ Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.
❍ Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return
the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination,
repair, or adjustment. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number on the
cover of this manual.
❍ The use of an accessory not evaluated for use with this appliance may
cause injuries.
❍ Do not use outdoors.
❍ Do not let cord hang over the edge of table or counter, or touch with
hot surfaces.
❍ Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated
oven.
❍ Do not use this appliance for other than intended use.
❍ Keep the lid on the carafe when in use.
❍ Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during the brewing cycles.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This product is for household use only.

POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to
modify the plug in any way.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to
prevent removal of the outer cover.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the
outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be
done only by authorized service personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be
provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance,
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be
a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3) 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.
Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified
personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.

How to Use
This appliance is intended for household use only.
GETTING STARTED
• Remove all stickers, packing material and literature.
• Remove and save literature.
• Please go to www.prodprotect.com/applica to register your warranty.
• Wash all parts as instructed in the CARE AND CLEANING section.
• Pour cold water up to the Max fill line in the water reservoir.
• Brew water through as instructed in BREWING COFFEE, but do not add
coffee grounds. When done, turn off the coffeemaker and discard the
water from the mug.
BREWING COFFEE
1. Lift the one-piece cover. Pour one full mug of cold water
into the water reservoir (A).
2. Place the permanent filter into the filter basket (B).
Add ground coffee, (we recommend approximately
2½ tablespoons). Close the cover.
3. Remove the lid from the travel mug and add sweetener,
cream or milk to the mug before brewing; replace the
lid. Place the mug on the mug rest directly under the
filter basket opening.
4. Press the power switch and the power indicator light
will illuminate (C). The coffeemaker and power indicator
light turn off automatically when brewing is done.
Allow the coffee to finish dripping from the unit before
removing your travel mug.
Note: There will be slightly less coffee in your travel mug
than the amount of water added, as the grounds absorb
some of the liquid.
Tip: Your coffeemaker can also be used to brew hot water for other hot
beverages such as tea, hot chocolate, instant oatmeal and soups. To brew
hot water into the travel mug, place the filter and basket and follow the
brewing process (without adding grounds).
Caution: Be careful when opening the reservoir cover after brewing as
this area is hot and steamy. Use the lift tab located on the front of the
coffeemaker reservoir cover.
Tip: The travel mug may also be used for carrying cold beverages.

Care and Cleaning
This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified
service personnel.
CLEANING
1. Be sure the coffeemaker is off and cooled. Open the cover, remove the filter
basket (lift straight up) and discard the grounds. Clean as follows: filter basket,
permanent filter, mug and mug lid may be handwashed in warm, soapy water.
The coffeemaker’s exterior may be cleaned with a soft damp cloth.
Important: Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads. Never immerse the
coffeemaker in water.
2. To clean inside of reservoir cover, open the one-piece cover
allowing it to rest in the open position. Pull the showerhead
down and wipe the surfaces with a clean damp cloth. After
cleaning snap the showerhead back into place (D).
CLEANING WITH VINEGAR
Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your coffeemaker. Cleaning is
recommended once a month. Excessive steaming or a prolonged brewing cycle
is a sign that a cleaning is needed.
1. Fill the mug about ¹⁄3 full with white vinegar and then to the top with cold
water and pour into the water reservoir.
2. Place the mug on the mug rest.
3. Press the power switch and let the cleaning solution brew through until the
unit shuts off automatically.
4. Repeat the process using a new solution; do not reuse the first solution.
5. Use the mug to fill the reservoir with cold water and brew the plain water
through to flush out any remaining solution. You may have to repeat the plain
water cycle to remove any remaining vinegar taste.
6. Wash and dry the permanent filter, filter basket, lid and mug as instructed
in CLEANING.
