PREPARING TO USE YOUR COFFEEMAKER
Before the first use of the coffeemaker wash the brew basket, the gold-tone filter, the
carafe and carafe lid in either the top rack of your dishwasher, or by hand in warm,
sudsy water.
The exterior of the coffeemaker, the control panel area and the warming plate should
only be cleaned with a soft damp cloth.
NOTE: NEVER clean the warming plate unless it is completely cool.
After all parts are washed for the first time, pour cold water up to the 5 cup level mark in
the water reservoir. Brew it through as instructed in “BREWING COFFEE”, but do not add
coffee grounds to the filter. When done, turn off the coffeemaker and discard the water
from the carafe.
NOTE: DO NOT use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads when cleaning
your coffeemaker. NEVER immerse the coffeemaker in water or any liquid.

3. Place a Junior size 4 to 6 cup paper filter
or the gold-tone filter into the brew basket
(see Fig 4).
4. Add ground coffee. The amount of
coffee you use is a matter of personal
taste. (We recommend one heaping
tablespoon for every two cups).
Experiment . . . try different amounts
of ground coffee per cup until you
brew your perfect cup of coffee.
You can also try using the paper
filter along with the gold-tone filter.
5. Close the cover. Place carafe on the warming plate and plug in the appliance.
The time flashes at 12:00 AM in the Control Panel Display. The clock does
not have to be set to brew coffee. To set the clock time, see “SETTING THE CLOCK,
TIMER AND AUTO-BREWING”.
6. Turn on the coffeemaker by pushing the “ON AUTO OFF” Button (see Fig. 5). The Green
“ON” LED will illuminate and the coffeemaker will begin brewing. When the coffeemaker
has finished brewing, the warming plate will come on and will keep the carafe warm.

The easy-to-use programmable digital controls let you know when the coffee is ready,
and even keeps track of the freshness of each brewed carafe. It’s never been easier to
brew the perfect cup of coffee.
BREWING COFFEE
1. Pull up tab on force-fitted one-piece
cover to open (see Fig. 2).
2. Use the carafe to fill the water reservoir
of the coffeemaker to the desired level
with cold water. There is a gauge marked
from 1 to 5 cups both in the coffeemaker’s
water reservoir and on the sides of the
carafe (see Fig. 3). These marks show
the amount of cold water needed for
each cup of coffee. The amount of
brewed coffee will differ slightly due
to the amount of water absorbed by
the coffee grounds.

CARE AND CLEANING
CARAFE CARE
A damaged carafe may result in possible burns from a hot liquid.
To avoid breaking:
1. DO NOT allow all liquid to evaporate from the carafe while on the warming plate
and never heat the glass carafe when empty.
2. DISCARD the carafe if chipped, cracked, or damaged in any manner.
3. NEVER use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers; they will scratch and weaken
the glass.
4. DO NOT place the carafe on or near a gas or electric burner, in a heated oven,
or in a microwave oven.
5. Avoid rough handling and sharp blows.
6. DO NOT set a hot carafe down on a wet or cold surface.
CLEANING THE COFFEEMAKER
After about 70 pots of coffee it is a good idea to clean the coffeemaker to remove water
deposits. To Clean:

2. Pour white vinegar into the reservoir to about the 21
/2cup level.
3. Add cold water up to the 5 cup level.
4. Put a paper filter in the brew basket, close cover, and place empty carafe on the
warming plate.
5. Turn the coffeemaker ON and let half of the vinegar water solution brew through
and into the carafe.
6. Turn the coffeemaker OFF at this point and let it soak for at least 15 minutes to soften
any deposits.
7. Turn the coffeemaker back ON and brew the remaining solution into the carafe.
When brew cycle has stopped, turn OFF coffeemaker, empty carafe, and discard
soiled paper filter.
8. Refill reservoir with cold water up to the 5 cup level and turn ON to run another brew
cycle. You may want to repeat again to eliminate any vinegar smell/taste.
9. Wash the brew basket and carafe.
ALWAYS UNPLUG the coffeemaker from the electric outlet before cleaning. The exterior
of the coffeemaker, the control panel area and the warming plate should only be cleaned
with a soft damp cloth.
WARNING: NEVER immerse the coffeemaker in water or any liquid.
WARNING: DO NOT clean the warming plate unless it is completely
cool. DO NOT use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.
