Before Brewing Coffee For The First Time
CAUTION: To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the
Coffee Maker or allow AC cord to come into contact with water
or other liquids.
1. After carefully unpacking from carton, the inside of your Coffee
Maker and carafe must be cleaned.
2. Brew 12 cups of fresh water only. Follow the instructions in the
Brewing Coffee Section following, but DO NOT ADD COFFEE
GROUNDS TO THE PAPER FILTER.
3. When all the water has brewed into the carafe, switch the Coffee
Maker OFF. The light will turn off.
4. Allow the Coffee Maker to cool for 15 minutes, discard the water
from the carafe, then repeat steps 2 and 3.

Hints For Best Results
■We recommend using coffee which has been ground specifically
for automatic drip coffee makers. This type of coffee is prepared
specifically for your Coffee Maker’s brewing system and promotes
fuller extraction to provide rich, full-bodied coffee.
■Use only cone-shaped filters with this Coffee Maker. Cone-shaped
paper filters are available locally at grocery stores. Use standard,
#4 filters. Do not use basket-style paper filters.
■A clean Coffee Maker is essential for making great tasting coffee.
Regular cleaning, as specified in the User Maintenance
Instructions, is highly recommended.
■Always use fresh, cold water in your Coffee Maker.
■Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened,
keep it tightly sealed in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
■For optimum coffee, buy whole beans and grind them finely just
before brewing.
■Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair
coffee flavor.
■Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor
immediately after brewing.

9. At the end of the brew cycle, switch the Coffee Maker OFF.
Discard water in the carafe. Repeat steps 8 - 9. Unplug the Coffee
Maker when finished.
Decalcifying Your Carafe
Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside your carafe.
Coffee discolors these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain
inside the carafe. To remove these stains, follow these simple steps:
1. Use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and hot water.
2. Let solution stand in carafe for about 20 minutes and then
discard.
3. Wash and rinse your carafe thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not
use harsh abrasive cleaners. These may cause scratches which can
lead to breakage.
Mineral
Deposits/Decalcifying
Your Coffee Maker must be cleaned when you begin to notice
excessive steaming or the brewing time increases considerably. This
condition is caused by a buildup of lime and mineral deposits from
your water. If the pumping action stops before all the water has been
pumped out of the machine, then the appliance requires
decalcification.
The frequency of decalcification depends on the hardness of water
used. The following table gives the suggested decalcification
intervals: Suggested Decalcification Interval
TYPE OF WATER FREQUENCY OF DECALCIFICATION
Soft water every 80 brewing cycles
Hard water every 40 brewing cycles
How To Decalcify Your Coffee Maker
1. Place a paper filter into the removable filter basket. Make sure the
removable filter basket fits securely back into the unit.
2. Fill carafe with one part white vinegar to three parts cold water.
Pour the water and vinegar solution into the water reservoir.
3. Place the empty carafe on the warming plate. Plug the Coffee
Maker into an outlet and switch the Coffee Maker ON.
4. Keep the Coffee Maker ON until the carafe is half full. Switch the
Coffee Maker OFF and let cool for 1/2 hour.
5. After 1/2 hour, pour the water and vinegar solution back into the
Coffee Maker.
6. Place the empty carafe on the warming plate. Switch the Coffee
Maker ON and let all the water and vinegar solution flow
through.
7. Discard the solution and the paper filter.
8. After allowing the Coffee Maker to cool for 15 minutes, flush out
all the traces of vinegar by pouring a carafe full of cold water into
the water reservoir. Make sure to insert a fresh filter into the filter
basket before brewing and place the empty carafe on the warming
plate. Switch the Coffee Maker ON and allow it to cycle through.

ADVERTENCIA: Este aparato genera calor y vapor durante su
uso. Debe tomar las precauciones adecuadas para prevenir el
riesgo de quemaduras, incendios u otros daños a personas o a la
propiedad.
■No deje la jarra vacía sobre la placa de calentamiento cuando el
aparato esté encendido, podría agrietarse o dañarse.
■Siempre use agua limpia y fresca en su cafetera. El agua tibia u
otros líquidos, excepto como se indica en la sección de limpieza,
pueden causar daños al aparato.

de haberla removido durante el proceso de preparación del café.
PRECAUCION: Se incluye un cable eléctrico corto para reducir el
riesgo de lesiones personales, resultantes de tropezar o enredarse
con un cable eléctrico demasiado largo. En caso de que necesite un
cable eléctrico más largo, puede conseguir cables de extensión en las
ferreterías de su localidad, y pueden ser usados si se ejercen las
precauciones debidas. Si se requiere utilizar un cable de extensión,
es necesario tomar especial cuidado y atención. Además, el cable
deberá: (1) Estar marcado con un grado eléctrico de al menos
125 V, 10 A, 1.250 W y (2) el cable debe colocarse de manera que
no cuelgue de la superficie de la mesa, donde los niños puedan
jalarlo o alguien se pueda tropezar accidentalmente.
CLAVIJA POLARIZADA: Este electrodoméstico posee una
clavija polarizada (una de sus patas es más ancha que la otra)
como una medida de seguridad para reducir el riesgo de
descargas eléctricas. Esta clavija está diseñada para conectar
solamente de una manera en un tomacorriente polarizado. Si la
clavija no conecta completamente en el tomacorriente, inviértala.
Si aún no conecta bien, contacte a un electricista calificado. No
intente alterar esta medida de seguridad.
CORRIENTE ELECTRICA: Si el circuito eléctrico está
sobrecargado con otros aparatos, su aparato puede que no
funcione apropiadamente. Este deberá ser operado en un circuito
eléctrico separado del resto de los demás electrodomésticos.
Este producto es para uso doméstico solamente.

■Es esencial que la cafetera esté limpia para poder preparar un café
delicioso. Se recomienda ampliamente que la limpie con
regularidad, como se especifica en las Instrucciones de
Mantenimiento.
■Siempre use agua limpia y fresca en su cafetera.
■Guarde el café en un lugar fresco y seco. Una vez que el café haya
sido abierto, manténgalo bien sellado en el refrigerador para
mantener su frescura.
■Para un café de óptima calidad, compre granos enteros y
muélalos finamente antes de preparar el café.
■No reutilice los granos de café, ya que esto disminuirá demasiado
el sabor del café.
■No se recomienda recalentar el café. El café está en su mejor
punto inmediatamente después de prepararlo.

(o un filtro permanente dorado) dentro de la canastilla removible
para filtro.
4. Coloque los granos molidos de café en el filtro, usando una
cucharada nivelada de café molido por cada taza de café que
desee preparar.

NOTA: Una taza de 148 mL (5 onzas) es el estándar de la
industria Norteamericana y es utilizado por la mayoría de los
fabricantes de cafeteras. Para llenar su taza favorita, llene el
depósito de agua de la cafetera con suficiente agua para 2 tazas
(295 mL/10 onzas).
Antes de preparar café por primera vez
PRECAUCION: Para evitar una electrocución, no sumerja la
cafetera o permita que el cable entre en contacto con agua u otros
líquidos.
1. Después de desempacar cuidadosamente la cafetera, deberá
limpiar el interior de ésta y de la jarra.
2. Hierva solamente 12 tazas de agua limpia. Siga las instrucciones
de la sección de Preparación de Café que aparece más adelante,
pero NO AÑADA LOS GRANOS MOLIDOS DE CAFE AL
FILTRO DE PAPEL.
3. Cuando toda el agua haya pasado a la jarra, coloque el
interruptor en apagado. La luz se apagará.
4. Deje que la cafetera se enfríe durante 15 minutos, deseche el agua de
la jarra y luego repita el procedimiento de los pasos 2 y 3.
5. Después de que la segunda jarra de agua se haya enfriado, deseche el
agua y lave perfectamente la canastilla removible para filtro
(vea la ilustración de la página 18), la jarra y la tapa de la jarra en
agua tibia jabonosa. Seque perfectamente las piezas.
Sugerencias para mejores resultados
■Le recomendamos que use café que haya sido molido para su uso
específico en cafeteras automáticas de goteo. Este tipo de café es
preparado específicamente para el sistema de preparación de su
cafetera y promueve una mayor extracción para proveer un café
robusto y con cuerpo.
■Utilice solamente filtros en forma de cono en esta cafetera. Puede
conseguir filtros de papel en forma de cono en los supermercados
locales. Use filtros estándar No. 4. No utilice los filtros de papel
estilo canasta.
