Polarized plug
This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade
is wider than the other). As a safety feature to
reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is
intended to t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t,
contact a qualied electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety
feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug ts loosely into
the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

scratches or rough handling.
4. Do not operate the appliance with an empty water tank.

Water Filtration System
Using the carbon-based water lter in your coffeemaker
during the brewing process helps remove up to 97% of the
chlorine from the water and improves the taste of your coffee.
To use the water ltration system, please follow these steps:
1. Align the red indicator on the frame to the letter that
corresponds with the month that you are using the disk
for the rst time. This serves to remind you to change the
disk every month (approx. 30 brewing cycles). To change
the disk, remove the used disk, insert new disk into the
frame.
2. Rinse the water lter in fresh
water before rst use.
3. Follow the instructions from the
“Brewing Coffee” section.
4. When you are done brewing,
rinse the water lter with fresh
water. Do not put your water
lter in the dishwasher.
To replace the water lter disks: slide the used disk from your
water ltration system. To insert the new disk, slide disk into
the frame.
Clean Before First Use

While it may not seem like an important ingredient, coffee is
98 percent water. The type of water that you brew with greatly
affects the nal taste. Always use clean, fresh water that is
ltered and free of impurities. It is best to avoid soft water
or well water. Please refer to the “Advanced Water Filtration
System” section to learn more about how your coffeemaker
reduces impurities in water.
A clean coffeemaker is essential to brewing great tasting
coffee each and every time.
CAUTION: Make sure your coffeemaker is unplugged and has
cooled completely before cleaning.
Remove the Brew Basket and Carafe and wash them in a
solution of hot water and mild liquid soap, and dry thoroughly.
You can also place the Brew Basket and Carafe in the
dishwasher; top-rack only. Do not wash the Advanced Water
Filtration cartridge with soap.
Minerals (calcium/limestone) found in water will leave deposits
in your coffeemaker and affect its performance. The Clean
Indicator will illuminate when it is recommended to clean and
decalcify your coffeemaker using vinegar. To decalcify your
coffeemaker, follow the steps below.
