voltage shown on the nameplate on the appliance.
3. Never leave the appliance unsupervised when in use.
Keep out of reach of children or inexperienced persons.
4. Only use the appliance for domestic purposes and in the
way indicated in these instructions. Do not use

damaged in any manner; return appliance to the nearest
authorized service agent, for examination, repair or
adjustment.

8. Never use the appliance outside and always place it in a
dry environment.
9. Never use accessories which are not recommended by
the producer. They could constitute a danger to the user
and risk to damage the appliance.
10. Never unplug the appliance by pulling the cord. Make
sure the cord cannot get caught in any way. Do not wind
the cord around the appliance and do not bend it. Do not
let cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or to

hot parts of the appliance.
14. Never touch the hot parts of the appliance. Only
touch the plastic parts and the carafe by the handle or
knobs.
15. Be careful not to get scalded by the steam
evaporating from the coffee filter.

3
signs of cracks. Only use the carafe that was supplied
with this appliance. Handle with care as the glass is very
fragile.

plug the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any
control to “off”, and then remove the plug from the wall
outlet.
19. Do not use the machine with a damaged outlet.
20. Do not forget that the temperature of the
coffee/tea/water prepared is high. Handle with care your
coffeepot to avoid any risk of splashes.
21. Any examination, repair, or adjustment for the
appliance should be made by an authorized service
agent.
22. Save these instructions for future use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
attempt to modify the plug in any way.

6
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
a) A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the
risks of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension
cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in
their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension
cord is used:
1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable
power-supply cord or extension cord should be at
least as high as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
WARNING: Improper use of the power cord may result
in electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if
necessary.
Before the First Use
Carefully unpack the 3-in-1 Coffee Maker, Tea Steeper &
Hot Water Dispenser and remove all packaging materials.
You may wipe the warming plate with a clean, damp cloth.

7
Do not immerse the warming plate in water or any other
liquid.
To remove any dust that may have accumulated on the
removable parts during packaging, wash the carafe, lid,
filter basket and tea infuser with warm, soapy water. Rinse
and dry. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleansers.
NOTE: We recommend that prior to brewing your first pot
of coffee, tea or hot water, you “brew” cold water only,
without ground coffee or tea. This will remove any dust
that may have settled inside the appliance.
IMPORTANT: Use only cold water – the automatic
brewing system has been designed to work only with
cold water.

17
Decalcifying
Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your
3-in-1.Your drip 3-in-1 will require cleaning with vinegar to
remove any calcium or mineral deposits that may form
over time and will affect the performance of the unit. You
will know when your 3-in-1 requires decalcifying when you
notice an obvious slow down in brewing time and
excessive steam.
We recommend decalcifying your drip 3-in-1 every two
months or at any time the brewing time slows down.
 Fill the carafe up to the 8-cup (max) with a mixture of one
part white vinegar and two parts water.
 Pour the solution into the water reservoir, then close the
hinged lid and put the empty carafe onto the warming
plate.
 Switch the 3-in-1 ON “I”, and allow the 3-in-1 to “brew” the
vinegar solution. When the vinegar solution has finished
brewing, empty the carafe and rinse it out with clean water.
The 3-in-1 must be left to cool down for approximately 15
minutes before adding more water.
 Refill the water reservoir with a carafe of cold water only,
and run another “brew” cycle. This will rinse out any

18
remaining vinegar solution.
 If necessary, a second “brew” of cold water can be
performed.
NOTE: THIS UNIT IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH AN
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF FEATURE, SO YOU MUST
MANUALLY TURN THE UNIT “OFF” (O).
CAUTION: Do not remove the carafe until the brewing
cycle has been completed. Never leave an empty
carafe on the warming plate while still hot.
Cleaning Your 3-in-1 Coffee Maker, Tea Steeper & Hot
Water Dispenser
CAUTION: Be sure to unplug this appliance before
cleaning. To protect against electric shock, do not
immerse cord, plug or unit in water or other liquid.
 The carafe, carafe, cover, tea infuser, and permanent
filter may be washed with warm soapy water. The

19
removable filter basket may be washed with warm, soapy
water, or placed in the top rack of the dishwasher. Do not
place any other part of your 3-in-1 in the dishwasher.
Never use harsh or abrasive cleaners on any part of your
3-in-1.
 Do not try to clean the inside of the water reservoir with a
cloth because this will leave a residue of lint and may
clog your 3-in-1. Just rinse with cold water periodically.
 To clean the surface of your 3-in-1, rinse a soft cloth in
warm water and squeeze out excess water. Wipe the
surface, dry thoroughly and polish with a dry soft cloth.
