PREPARING TO USE YOUR COFFEE MAKERPARTS AND FEATURES
Fig. 1
Fig. 1a
Before the first use of the coffee maker wash the brew basket, the carafe and carafe lid
in either the top rack of your dishwasher, or by hand in warm, sudsy water.
The exterior of the coffee maker, 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.
To clean inside of the reservoir, raise the
cover and allow it to rest in the open
position. Wipe surfaces with a damp cloth
(See Fig. 2), and close cover.
NOTE: DO NOT use abrasive cleansers or
scouring pads when cleaning your
coffee maker. NEVER immerse the
coffee maker in water or any liquid.
After all parts are washed for the first time,
pour cold water up to the 12 cup level mark
in the water reservoir. Brew it through the coffee maker as instructed in BREWING, but
do not add coffee grounds to the paper filter. When done, turn off the coffee maker
and discard the water from the carafe.
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. 3).
2. Use the carafe to fill the water tank of
the coffee maker to the desired level
with cold water. There is a gauge marked
from 4 to 12 cups (600ml-1800ml) on
both the coffee maker's water tank and
on the sides of the carafe (see Fig. 4).
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.

BREWING COFFEE
3. Place a #4 paper filter into the brew
basket (see Fig 5).
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 with different amounts of
ground coffee per cup until you brew
your perfect cup of coffee.
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.

see “SETTING THE CLOCK, TIMER AND AUTO-BREWING”.
6. Turn on the coffee maker by pushing the “Start/Stop” Button (see Fig. 6).
The Green “POWER” LED will illuminate and the coffee maker will begin brewing.
After a few seconds, hot water flows into the filter to brew coffee. When the water
stops flowing, brewing is complete, and the coffee maker automatically switches to
the warming mode. For delayed brewing, see SETTING THE CLOCK, TIMER AND
AUTO-BREWING.
PAUSE AND SERVE FEATURE
The pause and serve feature enables you to remove the carafe from the Coffee maker
and pour a cup of coffee before brewing is finished. When the carafe is removed, a
special valve stops the flow of coffee from the brew basket to the carafe. Brewing does
not stop. IMPORTANT: If the carafe is not replaced under the brew basket after
20 seconds, water and coffee will overflow from the brew basket.
SETTING THE CLOCK, TIMER AND AUTO-BREWING
Use the Hour and Min Buttons to Set the Clock:
1. When the coffee maker is first plugged in, the clock will flash the default
time of 12:00 AM.
2. Press the Hour button to change the setting to any hour number between
12:00 am to 11:00 pm.
3. Press the Min button to change the setting to any minute number between 1 and 59
4. You can make the hours and minutes move more quickly in the clock display by
holding the buttons down.
5. The clock will begin keeping time at the moment the Hour and Min buttons are
released.
Use the Prog, Hour and Min Buttons to Program an Automatic Brew Time:
1. First set the clock. See directions above. Perform steps 1 through 5 under
BREWING COFFEE.
2. Press the Prog button.
3. Set the time you wish the coffee maker to begin brewing by pressing the “Hour” and
“Min” buttons. Be sure to set the correct designation of AM or PM.
4. Once you have set the correct time to begin the automatic brewing and the clock
has returned to the time of day, press the Auto On button.
5. The Auto Brew can be cancelled at any time by pressing the Auto On button a
second time. The Auto light goes out. To check what time the Auto Brew is set
for, push in the Set Auto button and the time will be displayed.
7. When you have poured out all the coffee in the carafe, press the “Start/Stop”
button to turn off the appliance, and remove the carafe from the warming plate.

CARE AND CLEANINGCARE AND CLEANING
ALWAYS UNPLUG the coffee maker from the electric outlet before cleaning.
The exterior of the coffee maker, the control panel area and the warming plate
should only be cleaned with a soft damp cloth.
To clean the inside of the water reservoir, raise the one-piece cover and allow it to
rest in the open position. Pull the water spreader hose out from under the guide on the
underside of the cover (See Fig. 1a), wipe surfaces with a damp cloth, replace water
spreader hose under guide, and close cover. Do not use abrasive cleansers or
scouring pads.
CLEANING THE COFFEE MAKER
Mineral deposits from water can clog your coffee maker. After about 70 pots of coffee
it is a good idea to clean the coffee maker to remove water deposits. To Clean:
1. Open the one-piece cover of reservoir.
2. Pour white vinegar into the reservoir to about the 6 cup level.
3. Add cold water up to the 12 cup level.
4. Put a paper filter in the brew basket, close cover, and place empty carafe on the
warming plate.
5. Turn the coffee maker ON and let half of the vinegar water solution brew through
and into the carafe.
6. Turn the coffee maker OFF at this point and let it soak for at least 15 minutes
to soften any deposits.
7. Turn the coffee maker back ON and brew the remaining solution into the carafe.
When brew cycle has stopped, turn OFF coffee maker, empty carafe, and discard
Soiled paper filter.
8. Refill reservoir with cold water up to the 12 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.
Any other service should be performed by a qualified service technician.
CARAFE CARE
A damaged carafe may result in possible burns from a hot liquid.
To avoid breaking:
• DO NOT allow all liquid to evaporate from the carafe while on the warming plate
and never heat the glass carafe when empty.
• NEVER use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers; they will scratch and weaken
The glass.
• DO NOT place the carafe on or near a gas or electric burner, in a heated oven,
or in a microwave oven.
• Avoid rough handling and sharp blows.
• DO NOT set a hot carafe down on a wet or cold surface.
WARNING: NEVER immerse the coffee maker 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.
WARNING: DISCARD the carafe if it is chipped, cracked or
damaged in any manner.
