IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. Read all instructions.
2. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they are closely supervised and instructed concerning use
of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
used by or near children. Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
4. 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.
5. To protect against electric shock, do not place cord, plug,
or appliance in water or other liquid.
6. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and
before cleaning the appliance.
7. Appliance must be operated on a flat surface away from the
edge of counter to prevent accidental tipping.

plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped
or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer
service number for information on examination, repair,
or adjustment.

12. Do not place appliance on or near a hot gas or electric
burner, or in a heated oven.
13. To disconnect appliance, turn controls to OFF (O) and then
remove plug from wall outlet.
14. WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do
not remove the bottom cover. No user-serviceable parts
are inside. Repair should be done by authorized service
personnel only.
15. Keep hands and utensils out of jar while blending to reduce

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.
If the cutting blade assembly locks and will not move, it will
damage the motor. Do not use. Call the toll-free customer
service number for information.
Do not place blender jar in the freezer filled with food or liquid.
This can result in damage to the cutting blade assembly, jar,
appliance, and possibly result in personal injury.
Maximum Wattage Information
The wattage rating of the product is determined by an
Underwriters Laboratory test. The maximum wattage is based
on the coffeemaker which draws the greatest power. The
blender may draw significantly less power.

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.

Blender Tips
• To add foods when blender is operating, remove filler-cap and add
ingredients through the opening.
• For best performance, the minimum amount of liquid needed per
recipe is one cup (8 ounces/237 ml). Add more liquid if food is not
blending properly.
• If blending action stops during blending or ingredients stick to sides
of the jar, there may not be enough liquid in the jar to blend
efficiently.
• Do not try to mash potatoes, mix stiff dough, whip egg whites,
grind raw meat, or extract juices from fruits and vegetables.
• Do not store food or liquids in the blender jar.
• Avoid bumping or dropping the blender when in operation or
at any time.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Brew basket overflows or
coffee brews slowly. • 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.
Coffee tastes bad. • 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).
Coffee not brewing or unit
will not turn on. • Water reservoir is empty.
• Unit is unplugged.
• Power outage.
• Power surge. Unplug; then plug the unit back in.
• Coffeemaker will not turn on while blender is in use.
Iced coffee drinks too
weak. • Too much ice.
• Use double- or triple-strength coffee.
