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 will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug
into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. Montgomery Ward can

Cleaning & Care
• This coee maker is fitted with an anti-drip function, allowing you to
remove the carafe at any time, even when coee is still dripping from the
filter. Take the carafe from the hotplate and pour the desired amount of
coee. Replace the carafe on the hot plate and allow the remainder of the
coee to brew.
• Let the carafe cool before adding cold water to a warm carafe when brewing
multiple pots of coee.
• If using a finely ground coee, you may see some residue at the bottom of the
carafe. Use a medium grind to avoid this.
• Use freshly ground coee for the best flavor.
• The snapping lid is a safety feature.
Helpful Hints
Tips R
DAILY CLEANING
1. Turn o and unplug the appliance.
2. Always allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning.
3. Using the handle, remove the basket and discard the used coee grounds and
paper filter.
4. Wash the carafe and the basket in hot, soapy water. Dry and replace. DO NOT
use abrasive brushes or pads, or harsh cleaning solutions. The carafe and basket
are also dishwasher safe.
5. Wipe the exterior of the coee maker with a damp cloth.
6. Do not immerse any electrical appliance, its cord, or its plug, into water.
DESCALING
If the appliance is used in an area with hard water, we recommend descaling the
coee maker occasionally. The clean indicator icon will show in the display
window when the coee maker needs descaling. Use a commercial descaling
agent for coee makers (follow the directions on the bottle), or use water and
vinegar as follows:
1. Fill the water tank with water to the 12-cup mark. Add 1–2 Tbsp. white vinegar.
2. DO NOT add coee to the basket. Press ON/OFF to run a brew cycle.
3. When finished, discard the used water and repeat the procedure with fresh
water only.
