IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Place the box on a large, sturdy flat surface. Carefully unpack your coffee maker and
remove all packaging material and literature. Remove any labels or stickers from the
coffee maker. To remove any dust that may have accumulated during packaging, you
may wipe the unit with a clean, damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the coffee
maker in water or other liquid. Clean the carafe, carafe lid, filter basket and filter in warm
water with mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive
cleaners. (See “Cleaning Your Coffee Maker” section of this manual for detailed in-
structions.) Keep all plastic bags away from children.
NOTE: We recommend that prior to brewing your first pot of coffee, operate the
coffee maker once or twice with water only and without ground coffee or with
just a small amount of ground coffee. This will remove any dust that may have
settled inside the coffee maker, which may affect the flavor of the coffee.
IMPORTANT: Use cold water only. The automatic drip system works best with cold
water.

A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from entanglement or
tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power supply cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power cord or
extension cord is used (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) the longer cord should
be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or table top where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. The electrical rating of the appli-
ance is listed on the bottom of the unit. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the
extension cord should be a grounded type 3 wire cord. This appliance has a polarized
plug. One blade is wider than the other. To reduce the risk of electrical shock this plug
will fit in a polarized plug only one way. If the plug does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
