OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This appliance is intended for household use 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.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an approved extension
cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord
must be equal to or greater than the rating of the coffeemaker.
Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or accidentally tripped over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high
wattage appliance on the same circuit with your coffeemaker.

POTENTIAL PROBLEM
Filter basket overflows
or coffee brews slowly.
Coffee leaks onto base.
Coffee tastes bad.
Coffee sediment in cup.
PROBABLE CAUSE
• Excessive amounts of coffee.
• Coffee ground too finely (not automatic drip grind).
• Coffeemaker needs cleaning.
If using a paper filter:
• Coffee grounds between paper filter and filter basket.
• Paper filter not open and in proper position.
• Rinse filter basket before inserting paper filter so the edges will remain pressed against the
sides of the basket.
• Poor quality paper filter.
•Travel mugs not properly seated in position indicators on base. Refer to "How to Make Coffee"
for correct position of travel mugs during brewing.
• Coffeemaker needs cleaning.
• Coffee ground other than automatic drip.
• Coffee-to-water ratio unbalanced. Adjust for personal preference.
• Poor coffee quality and freshness.
• Poor water quality (use filtered or bottled water).
• Use cone paper filter instead of permanent stainless steel coffee filter.
