SAFETY FEATURES
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.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension
cord should be arranged so that it does not drape over the counter or table-top
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. The electrical
rating of the coffee maker is listed on the bottom panel of the unit.
COFFEE MAKER FEATURES
Pause & Serve: Allows you to interrupt the brewing cycle and
pour a cup of coffee before the entire carafe is finished brewing.
To restart the brewing process, return carafe to warming plate
and coffee will automatically begin flowing through filter basket.
Make sure carafe is placed all the way onto the warming plate.
CAUTION: DO NOT REMOVE CARAFE FOR
LONGER THAN 30 SECONDS OR FILTER BASKET
MAY OVER FLOW.
Water Window: Large easy to read numbers indicate how many cups of water
have been poured into the coffee reservoirs.
On Light: On Light lets you know when the coffee maker is on for safe operation.
Flavor Seal: Carafe lip and lid seal to help preserve the coffee’s natural flavor and
temperature by preventing excessive evaporation.
Non-Stick Warming Plate
MAKES CLEAN-UP EASY
Cord Storage: Hidden cord storage allows you to hide excess cord.
Swing Away Basket: Filter door swings for convenient filling.
Black Lined Cone Filter Basket: Cone shaped filter basket enriches flavor and pre-
vents bitter taste. Black lining helps to hide stains. A standard #4 cone-shaped
filter may be used.
HOW TO USE YOUR COFFEE MAKER
PREPARING YOUR COFFEE MAKER FOR USE
Carefully unpack the coffee maker and remove all packaging materials.
Before making coffee in your coffee maker, thoroughly clean the carafe, carafe
lid and filter basket with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Do not use harsh or
abrasive cleaners.
You may wipe the warming place with a clean, damp cloth. However, do not
immerse the coffee maker in water or other liquid.
Prior to brewing your first pot of coffee, operate coffee maker once or twice with
water but without ground coffee or a paper filter. This will remove any dust that
may have settled inside the coffee maker which might affect the flavor of coffee.
Use cold water for best results.
PREPARING COFFEE MAKER FOR BREWING COFFEE
Place your coffee maker on a flat, level surface away from any edge.
Plug the unit into a 120 Volt – 60 Hz AC only outlet.
The lid of the glass carafe must be place properly on the carafe during the brew-
ing process and the carafe must be set on the warming plate.
The filter basket door must be properly closed during brewing process.
CAUTION: If the filter basket door is not completely closed, the Pause & Serve fea-
ture will not function properly. It could cause hot water or hot coffee to overflow.
FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR
Open the hinged water reservoir cover located at the top of the coffee
maker. Fill the glass carafe with the desired amount of cold water. Empty the
water from the carafe into the water reservoir. The water window indicates how
much water is in the container. Close the hinged lid. Place the glass carafe with
the lid in place on the warming plate.
NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee after the brewing process will always be
slightly less than the amount of water placed into the coffee maker, since some
water is absorbed by the coffee grounds and filter. Add a little extra water at the
beginning so that you have the exact number of cups desired.

PREPARING AND FILLING BREWER
Swing the filter basket door outward to your right. Lift out removable filter
basket. Insert a #4 cone-shaped filter into the filter basket. The permanent filter
may be used instead of the paper filter. Fill the filter with the required amount of
coffee. After brewing cycle, empty the grounds and rinse thoroughly with water.
Place the desired amount of ground coffee into the filter. According to coffee
industry standards, use one standard coffee measure (2 level tablespoons) of
grounds for each six ounces of water. After using your coffee maker several
times, the amount of coffee may be adjusted to suit your particular taste of
decreasing or increasing the amount of coffee used.
Return the filter basket with the filled filter to the door. Be sure the filter basket
is seated properly in the door. Swing the door closed and snap into place.
CAUTION: Do not operate your coffee maker if the door does not close complete-
ly. If the door does not close completely, check to see that the filter basket is
properly sealed and then snap the door into place.
Press the Power Select Button. The On Light will go on indicating that the coffee
maker has begun the brewing cycle. In a few minutes the coffee maker will com-
plete the brewing cycle and switch over to the warming mode which will keep the
coffee hot.
Press the Power Select Button to OFF when the carafe is empty or when the
coffee maker is not in use.
THE COFFEE MAKER WILL NOT TURN OFF AUTOMATICALLY.
PLEASE TURN OFF WHEN YOU ARE DONE USING IT.
HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE
A clean coffee maker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regular clean-
ing, as specified in ‘Cleaning your Coffee Maker” is highly recommended. Always
use fresh, cold water in your coffee maker. For optimum coffee, buy whole beans
and grind them just before brewing. Re-using coffee grounds is not recommend-
ed. Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor immedi-
ately after brewing. Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed black coffee are
due to the extraction of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more
frequently if heavily roasted coffees are used. Over extraction may also cause
oiliness, indicating a need to clean your coffee maker.
CLEANING YOUR COFFEE MAKER
CAUTION: Always make sure coffee maker is unplugged and warming plate is cool
before attempting to clean. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse
cord, plug or unit in water or other liquid.
The outside of your coffee maker can be cleaned by wiping the surface with a
damp, soft cloth.
IMPORTANT: Never immerse the coffee maker in water or other liquid.
Glass carafe, carafe lid and removable filter basket may be washed with warm,
soapy water or placed in the top rack of the dishwasher. Do not place any other
parts of the coffee maker in the dishwasher.
To clean the permanent filter, empty the grounds and rinse thoroughly.
Do not clean the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth as the cloth may have a
lint residue that could clog the coffee maker.
For stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleaner. Do
not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.
Calcium deposits may build up in the coffee maker as a result of minerals
commonly found in drinking water. The build-up is normal and may result in a
slowdown of the coffee maker’s brewing time. The slowdown can be eliminated
by periodically decalcifying the coffee maker.
To decalcify, fill the carafe with cold water and two tablespoons of white vinegar.
Pour the solution into the water reservoir, and then close the lid. Place the carafe
on the warming plate and allow the coffee maker to brew the vinegar solution.
While decalcifying, do not use a filter in the filter basket. When the vinegar
solution has finished brewing, empty the carafe and rinse it out with cold water.
Refill the water reservoir with cold water only and run another brew cycle to
remove any remaining vinegar solution. Repeat if necessary.
THIS COFEE POT IS MADE FROM THE FINEST MATERIALS
POSSIBLE, BUT IS NOT A COMMERCIAL UNIT.
PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE COFFEE MAKER ON FOR MORE THAN
12 HOURS AT A TIME.
