This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug in which one prong is wider
than the other. This is a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock. The
plug should be attached to the appliance before connecting to an electrical outlet.
The plug will t into a polarized outlet only 1 way. If you are unable to insert the
plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied
electrician. DO NOT attempt to modify the plug in any way. Montgomery Ward can
not accept any liability for damage or injury resulting from failure to observe these
safety procedures.

Helpful HintsCleaning & Care
Tips R
DAILY CLEANING
1. Turn off and unplug the appliance.
2. Always allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning.
3. Wash all detachable parts in hot sudsy water.
4. Wipe the heating plate and exterior of unit with a soft, damp cloth.
5. DO NOT use abrasive brushes or pads, or harsh cleaning solutions.
6. DO NOT immerse any cord, plug or electrical appliance into water.
7. Ensure all parts are dried thoroughly before reassembling and using
this appliance.
REMOVING MINERAL DEPOSITS
1. Calcium buildup frequently occurs in drip coffeemakers. This is normal and is
caused by minerals commonly found in water. Your coffee maker will need
decalcifying when you notice an obvious slow down in brewing time. We
recommend decalcifying at least 4 times per year.
2. Mix 2 Tbsp. of white vinegar in 1 carafe of cold water.
3. Pour this solution into the water reservoir, close the lid and place the carafe
on the heating plate.
4. Run a brewing cycle without coffee grounds (see page 6). When nished,
empty the carafe and rinse it with clean water.
5. Rell the reservoir with cold water only and run another brew cycle without
coffee grounds. When nished, disgard the water and repeat. This will rinse out
any remaining vinegar solution.
