IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs. Care must be
taken, as burns can occur from touching hot parts or from spilled,
hot liquid.
3. To protect against electric shock, do not place cord, plug, or
coffeemaker in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by
or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when the coffeemaker is not in use and before
cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and
before cleaning the appliance.
6. Coffeemaker must be operated on a flat surface away from
the edge of counter to prevent accidental tipping.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or
after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any
manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for information
on examination, repair, or adjustment.
8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the
appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot
surfaces, including stove.
11. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated
oven.
12. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
13. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
remove the bottom cover of the coffeemaker. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done by authorized
service personnel only.
14. To disconnect, turn any control to the OFF (O) position and then
remove plug from wall outlet.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons,
including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
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 this appliance.

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.
• 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.
• Make sure your coffeemaker is clean. See “Care and Cleaning”
section.
Using the Regular and Bold Settings
• This unit uses ground coffee ONLY. It is NOT intended for use
with coffee “pods.”
• Use the BOLD setting when a stronger cup of coffee is desired.
Use the BOLD setting for flavored, decaf, finely ground, and premium
brand ground coffees such as Starbucks®and Dunkin’ Donuts®.
Starbucks®is a registered trademark of Starbucks U.S. Brands, LLC.
Dunkin’ Donuts®is a registered trademark of DD IP Holder LLC.
• When using whole bean coffee, a standard automatic drip coffee
grind will yield best results. Be careful not to overgrind, since very
finely ground coffee can cause overflow in this unit.
• If overflow occurs, first try switching the unit to the BOLD setting,
OR use slightly less grounds. The BOLD setting dispenses water at a
slower rate, allowing more contact time and better coffee extraction
from the coffee.

Care and Cleaning
Pour 1/2 cup (125 ml) of plain
white vinegar and 1/2 cup (125 ml)
of cold water into reservoir.
Press the REGULAR or BOLD button
once. After 30 seconds, turn unit
OFF (O) using the REGULAR or BOLD
button and allow vinegar to
clean. After 30 minutes, plug
in unit and allow it to finish the
brew cycle. When brew cycle
is finished, wait for unit to cool.
Empty cup and rinse.

PROBLEM
Coffee tastes bad.
Water on counter under
unit.
Coffeemaker will not
brew and LED light
is blinking.
Weak coffee.
Coffee overflows from
brew basket.
Coffee overflows from
mug or travel mug.
PROBABLE CAUSE
• Coffeemaker needs cleaning.
• Coffee ground too coarsely or too finely. Set coffee grinder to automatic drip grind.
• Poor coffee quality and freshness.
• Poor water quality (use filtered or bottled water).
• Overfilled water reservoir. Also check cup used to fill reservoir. Some mugs/cups do not pour
cleanly and can dribble water down the side of the cup and onto counter.
• Add water. If there is no water in the water reservoir and a brew button is pushed, the unit will
not brew.
• First, try brewing using the BOLD setting. If coffee is still too weak, adjust water/coffee ratio
by using slightly less water and/or more grounds. Be careful to not exceed the MAX line for
grounds.
• Use a lesser amount of ground coffee.
• Use the BOLD setting for flavored, finely ground, premium brand ground coffees, and decaf
coffees.
• When using whole bean coffee, a standard automatic drip coffee grind will yield best results.
Be careful not to overgrind, since very finely ground coffee can cause overflow in this unit.
• To prevent coffee overflowing from a mug/travel mug, ensure the SAME cup into which coffee
will be brewed is also used to fill the water reservoir.
