allow heating element to cool. Important: If unit is not allowed to cool
before immediate repeated use, water placed in water chamber may
become overheated and a spray of steam could be released from open-
ing, creating a risk of burns.
BREWING A SECOND POT OF COFFEE
As mentioned above, it is recommended that the coffeemaker should be
in off position for 10 minutes between cycles, in order to allow unit to
cool. While unit is in off position, dispose of used coffee filter basket in
water. Place a fresh filter in basket. Repeat brewing procedure.
HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE
■A clean coffeemaker is essential for making great tasting coffee.
Regular cleaning, as specified in “Care and Cleaning of your cof-
feemaker”, is highly recommended.
■Always use fresh, cold water in your coffeemaker.
■Finer grinds, such as drip and ADC coffee, promote fuller extraction
and provide rich, full-bodied coffee. Regular grind will require slightly
more coffee per cup to provide the strength of a finer grind.
■Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep
it tightly sealed in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
■For optimum coffee, buy whole beans and grind them finely just
before brewing.
■Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair coffee fla-
vor.
■Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak immedi-
ately after brewing.
■Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed, black coffee is due to the
extraction of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more fre-
quently of heavily roasted coffees are used. Overextraction may also
cause oiliness, indicating a need to clean your coffeemaker.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other),
as a safety feature, 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 attempt to defeat this safety fea-
ture.
CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR COFFEEMAKER
Always make sure coffeemaker is unplugged and warming plate is cool
SUGERENCIAS PARA HACER EXCELENTES COLADAS
■Una cafetera limpia es esencial para una buena colada.
■Use siempre agua fresca y fría.
■Cafe molido fino produce un café más sabroso y de mayor rendimien-
to.
■Guarde su café en un lugar fresco y seco. Una vez abierto guárdelo
en el refrigerador.
■Para óptimo resultado, compre el café en grano y muélalo fino antes
de hacer su colada.
■Nunca reuse el café que ha sido colado.
■Cafe recalentado no es recomendable. El máximo sabor es cafe
recien colado.
LIMPIEZA Y CUIDADO DE SU CAFETERA
El Siguiente Procedimiento Es Recomendable Una Vez Por Mes:
1. Si el agua en su área es dura debe hacerse cada 2 semanas.
2. Llene su Garrafa con una parte de vinagre blanco y dos partes de
agua fría y viertalo en el tanque de la cafetera.
3. Ponga un filtro de papel en el cesto de filtrar y ciérrelo. Ponga la
Garrafa en la placa de calentamiento y encienda la cafetera.
4. Mantenga la cafetera encendida hasta que la Garrafa esté media
llena. Apague la cafetera. Cuando el líquido acabe de gotear del filtro
dejelo enfriar por lo menos 15 minutos. Una vez frío, vuélvalo a vertir
en el tanque de la cafetera.
5. Vuelva a poner el cesto de filtrado y la Garrafa en la placa de calen-
tamiento.
6. Encienda la cafetera y repita el procedimiento hasta que la solución
haya pasado totalmente a la Garrafa y bote su contenido.
7. Despues que la cafetera se enfríe, llene la Garrafa con agua fría,
viértala en el tanque y haga un ciclo completo de colada.
8. Al terminar este ciclo apague la cafetera, bote el agua de la Garrafa y
el filtro usado. Ponga el cesto de filtrar y la Garrafa en agua y jabón.
Enjuáguelos bien y séquelos.
9. Cuando la cafetera este fría, límpiela bien con un paño seco.

before attempting to clean. After daily use, the filter basket and carafe
should be washed in hot, sudsy water. Wipe exterior with a damp cloth to
remove superficial stains. For stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad
with a non-abrasive cleanser.
Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.
Special cleaning of your coffeemaker is recommended at least once a
month depending on frequency of use and quality of water used in the
unit. If water in your area is especially hard, the following cleaning proce-
dure should be performed every two weeks, since minerals in water can
detract from the flavor of the coffee and possibly lengthen brew time.
1. Fill carafe with one part white vinegar to three parts cold water. Pour
water and vinegar solution into the water chamber.
2. Place a paper filter in the filter basket and swing to close position. Place
carafe on warming plate. Switch control to on. During cleaning, more
steam will occur than during normal brewing.
3. KEEP THE COFFEEMAKER ON UNTIL CARAFE IS HALF FULL.
Switch control to off. When liquid stops dripping from filter basket into
the carafe, remove the basket and carafe and allow liquid to cool in
the carafe for 15 minutes. When cooled, pour liquid back into the
water chamber.
4. Replace basket and return carafe to hot plate.
5. Switch control to on. Repeat procedure, allowing all the cleaning solu-
tion to empty into the carafe. After dripping has stopped, discard con-
tents of carafe.
6. After allowing coffeemaker to cool for 10 minutes, rinse it out by brew-
ing a carafe full of cold water. Make sure to insert a fresh filter into the
filter basket before brewing.
7. At end of brew cycle, switch control to off. Discard water in the carafe.
and wash carafe and filter basket in hot sudsy water. Dry parts.
8. When coffeemaker has cooled, wipe exterior with a dry cloth.
Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above cleaning
should be performed by an authorized service representative.
