Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug
(one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug
fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using
an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
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 appliance. 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 appliance.
This symbol alerts you to the potential danger for personal
injury if you fail to read and follow these safety precautions.
• Do not use a cracked carafe or a carafe having a loose or
weakened handle.
• This carafe is designed to be used only on the keep-hot plate of
your coffeemaker. Do not use on a gas or electric rangetop, or in
a microwave or conventional oven.
• To avoid breakage, handle carafe with care. Avoid impact. Glass
will break as a result of impact. Use care when filling with water to
avoid hitting faucet.
• Do not place hot carafe on cool or wet surface. Allow to cool
before washing or adding liquids.
• Do not set empty carafe on a hot heating surface.
• Do not clean with steel wool pads, abrasive cleanser, or any other
materials that may scratch.
• Do not place hands inside carafe. When handling, be careful if
wearing any hand jewelry, especially diamond rings. Jewelry can
scratch the glass, which increases the possibility of breakage.
• Do not bump, scratch or boil dry.
• Discard carafe if it is cracked, scratched, or heated while empty for
an extended period of time.
• To avoid accidents, do not pour in the direction of people.
• If stirring in the carafe, use only wooden, plastic, or rubber utensils.
Do not use metal utensils.
• Follow the above safety precautions carefully to avoid serious burn
injuries which may result if breakage occurs while carafe holds
heated liquids.
This symbol reminds you that glass is fragile and can break
which could result in personal injury.

How to Make Coffee (cont.)
PAUSE AND SERVE:
To serve coffee during the
brewing cycle, remove carafe
and pour a cup. By removing the
carafe, the flow of coffee from
the bottom of the filter basket will
stop.
WARNING! Burn Hazard. The
carafe must be replaced within
20 seconds of being removed to
prevent overflow.
Tips for Best-Tasting Coffee
• All coffees are made from either arabica beans or robusta beans,
or some combination of both. Arabica beans are slightly more
expensive, but tend to produce better-tasting coffee.
• Ground coffee will become stale much faster than whole beans. If
buying preground coffee, choose a package with the latest expiration
date or a smaller quantity.
• If grinding whole beans, set your coffee grinder on a fine/medium
grind. This will yield the best-tasting grounds. Try to use freshly
ground coffee within about a week of grinding.
• Using a water filter, filtered water, or bottled water will yield better-
tasting coffee than tap water.
• Use approximately 1 Tablespoon of grounds for each cup of
coffee being made. To avoid overflow, use slightly less grounds
(3/4 Tablespoon [11 ml]) when brewing decaf or flavored coffees.
Also, be aware that using coffee that is ground too finely may also
cause the filter basket to overflow.
• Make sure your coffeemaker is clean. See “Care and Cleaning”
section.

PROBLEM
Brew basket overflows or
coffee brews slowly.
Coffee tastes bad.
Coffee not brewing or unit
will not turn on.
PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
• Excessive amounts of ground coffee.
• Decaffeinated and/or coffee ground too finely can cause overflow. Use slightly less grounds when brewing
decafeinated, flavored, or finely ground coffee. Or use medium ground coffee.
• Coffeemaker needs cleaning.
If using a paper filter:
• Coffee grounds between paper filter and brew basket.
• Paper filter not open and in proper position.
• Rinse brew basket before inserting paper filter so the edges will remain pressed against the sides of the
basket.
• Poor-quality paper filter.
• Coffeemaker needs cleaning.
• Coffee ground too coarsely or too finely. Use medium ground coffee.
• Coffee-to-water ratio unbalanced. Adjust for personal preference.
• Poor coffee quality and freshness.
• Poor water quality (use filtered or bottled water).
• Water reservoir is empty.
• Unit is unplugged.
• Power outage.
• Power surge. Unplug; then plug the unit back in.
• Clock requires reset after power outage.
