SAFEGUARDS(continued)

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
maywipetheunitwithaclean,dampcloth. Drythoroughly. Donotimmersethecoffee
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 instructions.) Keep all plastic bags away from children.
BEFORE FIRST USE
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
atleastas 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.

OPERATING YOUR COFFEE MAKER
PREPARING COFFEE MAKER FOR BREWING COFFEE:
1. Place the coffee maker on a flat, level surface away from any edge.
2. Plug the unit into a 120V / 60Hz only outlet.
3. The lids of the carafes must be fitted properly during the brewing process.
And the carafes must be set on the non-stick plates.
FILLING THE WATER RESERVOIR:
4. Open the hinged water reservoir cover located at the top of the coffee maker.
5. Fill the carafe with cold water corresponding to the desired cups of coffee you
will be brewing. Markings on the inside of the reservoir indicate the level of
water.
6. Empty the water from the carafe into the water reservoir, located behind the
filter basket holders. Fill the left side of the reservoir for the left-hand side of
the coffee maker. Fill the right side of the reservoir for the right-hand side of
the coffee maker. If you will be using the “Dual Carafe Function” fill both sides
of the reservoir. NOTE: The automatic brewing system has been designed to
work with cold water only.
6. Press the ON/OFF button to reset the machine.
IMPORTANT: If the unit is not allowed to cool before immediate repeated use,
water placed in the water reservoir may become overheated and a spray of
steam could be released from opening, causing a burn risk.
SETTING THE TIMER (continued)

NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee after the brewing process is complete will
always be slightly less than the amount of water placed in the coffee maker’s water
reservoir, 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 THE COFFEE:
7. The included permanent platinum filters may be used instead of paper filters. If
using paper filters, insert a #4 cone-shaped filter into the filter basket before
filling with coffee grounds. Place the filter (permanent or paper) into the
removable filter basket. Place the desired amount of coffee grounds into the
filter. If you are using the left side of the coffee maker, place the filter in the
corresponding left-hand side filter basket. If you are using the right side of the
coffee maker, place the filter in the corresponding right-hand side filter basket.
NOTE: We recommend using coffee grounds specifically for automatic drip
coffee makers. We suggest one tablespoon of ground coffee for each cup of
coffee being brewed. After using your drip coffee maker a few times you may
adjust the amount to suit your own taste.
8. Return the filter baskets with the coffee-filled filters to the filter basket holders.
Be sure that the filter basket is seated properly in the filter basket holder.
9. Close the hinged water reservoir cover. Place the carafes with the lids in
place on the non-stick plates.
OPERATING YOUR COFFEE MAKER WITHOUT THE TIMER FUNCTION:
10. Brewing Coffee on Right Side: When coffee grounds and water are in place,
press the right-side ON/OFF button once. The right-side ON/OFF light will
illuminate and brewing will start. Two long buzzing sounds indicate that the
brew cycle has finished.
Brewing Coffee on the Left Side: When the coffee grounds and water are in
place, press the left-side ON/OFF button once. The left-side ON/OFF light will
illuminate and brewing will start. Two long buzzing sounds indicate that the
brew cycle has finished.
Brewing Coffee on Both Sides:When the coffee grounds and water are in
place on both sides, press both ON/OFF buttons once. The ON/OFF lights for
both sides will illuminate and brewing will start on both sides. Two long
buzzing sounds indicate that the brew cycle has finished.
