SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Plug and cord instructions
• Your coffee maker has a polarized plug. Do not defeat the safety purpose of a
polarized plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other.
The wide blade is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit
into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
• A short power cord is provided to reduce the possibility of the cord becoming
entangled or causing someone to trip.
• Longer, detachable power cords (extension cords) may be used if care is
exercised in their use. If such a cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the coffee maker.
• The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over a
counter or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Before using your coffee maker
1Remove the exterior and interior packaging.
2Make sure that the package contents are complete and in good condition. See
Package contents on page 4.
Tips and hints for using your coffee maker
• A clean coffee maker is essential for making great-tasting coffee. Clean your
coffee maker regularly. See Cleaning your coffee maker on page 8.
• Always use fresh, cold water.
• Store unused coffee in a cool, dry place. After opening, reseal the coffee tightly
and store it in a refrigerator to maintain freshness.
• For optimum coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and finely grind them just
before brewing.
• Do not reuse coffee grounds and do not reheat brewed coffee.
• Clean the coffee maker when over-extraction causes oiliness (small droplets of
oil on the surface of brewed, black coffee). This may occur more frequently
when you use dark, heavily roasted coffees.
Using your coffee maker
Preparing your coffee maker for use
1Open the top lid and fill the water tank with drinking water. The water level
should not exceed the MAX level as indicated on the water gauge.
2Place the funnel into the funnel holder inside the water tank, if not already in
place. Make sure that it is positioned correctly in the groove on the tank rim,
otherwise the top lid will not close.
3Place the nylon filter into the funnel, if it is not already in place. You can also
use a tapered-type paper funnel.
4Place the thermal carafe with the lid closed on the warming plate.
5Plug the power cord into a power outlet, then press the ON/OFF button and
brew the water without coffee. Discard the water. Repeat this step several
times to make sure that your coffee maker is clean.
6Press the ON/OFF button, let your coffee maker cool, then clean and dry the
detachable parts. See Cleaning your coffee maker on page 8.
Making a pot of coffee
1Open the top lid and fill the water tank with drinking water. The water level
should not exceed the MAX level as indicated on the water gauge.
2Place the funnel into the funnel holder inside the water tank. Make sure that it
is positioned correctly, otherwise the top lid will not close.
3Place the nylon filter into the funnel, if it is not already in place. You can also
use a tapered-type paper funnel.
4Add dry, ground coffee to the filter according to the instructions on the coffee
container or your personal taste, then close the water tank cover.
DANGER OF SUFFOCATION: Packaging materials are not toys. Keep packaging
materials, like plastic bags, foil, and foam, away from babies and children.
Packaging materials can block airways and prevent breathing.

that the center of the carafe aligns with the bottom of the funnel.
6Plug the power cord into a power outlet.
7Press the ON/OFF button. The ON/OFF indicator lights green and your coffee
maker starts brewing.
8To pause brewing, press the ON/OFF button. The ON/OFF indicator turns off.
To start brewing again, press the ON/OFF button again.
9When the brewing cycle is complete, wait about a minute until the dripping
stops, then remove the thermal carafe and serve the coffee.
When brewing is complete, your coffee maker automatically switches to
standby mode.
Setting the clock
You can set the clock to the current time. If you plan to use the delayed brewing
feature, you need to set the clock.
1Plug the power cord into a power outlet. AM 12:00 appears on the display.
2Repeatedly press the MINUTE button to set the minutes and the HOUR
button to set the hour. If the current time is after noon, make sure that you
press the HOUR button repeatedly until PM appears on the display, then
continue using the HOUR button to set the correct hour.
Setting a delayed start time
You can prepare your coffee maker for brewing, then set a delayed start time.
1Make sure that you have set the clock. See Setting the clock on page 7.
2Press the AUTO/PROG button. The AUTO/PROG indicator lights red and
flashes.
3Repeatedly press the MINUTE and HOUR buttons to set the delayed start
time. Make sure that the correct AM or PM indicator appears in the display.
4Press the AUTO/PROG button to save your setting. The AUTO/PROG indicator
turns off.
Note: Some of the water you add to the water tank is absorbed by the dry
coffee, so the amount of coffee that results from the brewing cycle is always
somewhat less than the water you added.
Notes:
• You can remove the thermal carafe and pour a cup of coffee while your
coffee maker is brewing. Your coffee maker automatically stops dripping for
30 seconds. Make sure that you put the carafe back on the warming plate
before dripping starts again.
• During the brewing process, you cannot use the AUTO/PROG, HOUR, and
MINUTE buttons.

Cleaning your coffee maker
Cleaning coffee maker parts
You should clean your coffee maker regularly.

water. You can also wash these parts in a dishwasher.
2Wipe the exterior surface of your coffee maker with a soft, damp cloth to
remove stains.
3To prevent water from dripping into the base of your coffee maker, wipe off
the inside of the water tank lid after each use.
4Use a damp cloth to gently wipe the warming plate. Never use abrasive
cleaner to clean it.
5Reassemble all parts.
Removing mineral deposits
To keep your coffee maker operating efficiently, you should periodically clean the
mineral deposits left by water. The frequency for cleaning depends on the water
quality in your area and how often you use your coffee maker.
1Fill the tank with water and household descaler or vinegar (use a 4:1 solution)
to the maximum level indicated on the water gauge. You can also use citric
acid, with a dilution of 100 parts water to three parts citric acid.
2Place the thermal carafe on the warming plate. Make sure that the center of
the carafe aligns with the bottom of the funnel.
Notes:
• To cancel delayed brewing, press and hold the AUTO/PROG button for a
few seconds.
• To change the delayed brewing start time, repeat steps 2 through 5.
WARNING: To avoid electric shocks or damage to your coffee maker, always
unplug the power cord before cleaning. Make sure that all parts of your coffee
maker have cooled down completely.
CAUTIONS:
• Do not immerse the power cord or your coffee maker in water or any other
liquids.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads.
• Dry all parts thoroughly after cleaning, before using, or before storing your
coffee maker.
• Make sure that all parts and surfaces are completely dry before connecting
your coffee maker to a power outlet. Wet parts can cause an electric shock.

3Make sure that the funnel is in place and that there is no dry coffee in the filter.
4Turn on your coffee maker and let it “brew”the descaling solution.
5After brewing about one cup of the solution, turn off your coffee maker and
let it sit for about 15 minutes, then repeat step 4.
6Brew the descaling solution until the water tank is dry.
7Repeat this process at least three times.
Troubleshooting
CAUTION: Do not try to repair your coffee maker yourself. Doing so
invalidates the warranty.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Why is my coffee maker
leaking?
• Make sure that the filter is correctly positioned in
the funnel holder and that the water tank lid is fully
closed.
• Avoid overfilling the water tank.
• If you have checked all of these items and your
coffee maker is still leaking, Take your coffee maker
to a Best Buy authorized service center for repair.
Why does my coffee maker
brew slower than it used to?
• Your coffee may have a buildup of mineral
deposits. Clean your coffee maker. See Removing
mineral deposits on page 8.
Why does my coffee maker
overflow?
• If you remove the thermal carafe for more than 30
seconds while your coffee maker is brewing it can
overflow. Make sure that you replace the carafe
promptly after removing it.
• The thermal carafe may not have been properly
positioned under the funnel. Make sure the carafe
is centered directly under the funnel.
• Using too much coffee may cause the coffee maker
to overflow.
• The filter may be folded over. Make sure that the
filter is correctly centered in the funnel. Try wetting
the edges of the filter to keep it from collapsing.
• Using coffee that is too finely ground can
sometimes result in overflow. Use only coffee that
is ground for automatic drip coffeemakers.
Why isn't my coffee maker
brewing coffee?
• Make sure that your coffee maker is plugged into a
working 120V electrical outlet.
• Press the ON/OFF button to make sure that your
coffee maker is turned on. The ON/OFF indicator
should be lit.
• Make sure that the water tank has water in it.
