SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
• A short power supply cord is provided with your 4-cup coffeemaker to reduce the risk
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If an extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord
should be at least as great as the electric rating of the appliance, and (2) the cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
FOR PRODUCTS PURCHASED IN U.S. AND CANADA ONLY:
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other), as a safety feature. This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT THIS SAFETY FEATURE.

SPECIAL CARE FOR YOUR CARAFE
A damaged carafe may result in possible burns from hot liquid.
To avoid breaking the carafe:
• Do not allow all liquid to evaporate from carafe. Do not heat carafe when empty.
• Discard carafe if damaged in any manner. A chip or crack could result in breakage
or contaminate liquid contents with glass particles.
• Never use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers as they may scratch and weaken
the glass.
• Do not place carafe on or near a hot gas or electric burner, in a heated oven or in a
microwave oven.
• Avoid rough handling and sharp blows.
BEFORE YOU USE YOUR COFFEEMAKER
• Before preparing coffee in your new Sunbeam®coffeemaker for the first time,
thoroughly clean the carafe, carafe lid, removable filter basket, the permanent
filter and water chamber cover in hot, soapy water.
• Rinse and dry.
• Replace disassembled parts.
• Clean the inside of the coffeemaker by brewing two full carafes of tap water
(see ‘Brewing instructions’). Do not place coffee in filter basket for this initial cleaning.
Note: At the end of first cycle, turn coffeemaker off and wait ten minutes.
Brew second carafe of water.
CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR COFFEEMAKER
• Always make sure coffeemaker is unplugged and warming plate is cool before
attempting to clean.
• After daily use, filter basket and carafe should be washed in hot, soapy water.
• Wipe base with a damp cloth to remove superficial stains.
• For stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleanser.
• Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.
Special cleaning of your coffeemaker is recommended at least once a month,
depending on frequency of use and quality of water used in the unit. If water in your area
is especially hard, the following cleaning procedure should be performed every two weeks,
since minerals in water can detract from the flavor of the coffee and possibly lengthen
brew time.
1.Fill carafe with one part white vinegar to three parts cold water. Pour water and vinegar
solution into the water chamber.

indicate level of water required to brew desired number of cups. Not less than two cups
is recommended when using this unit.
Note: The amount of brewed coffee will always be less than the amount of water placed
into coffeemaker.
3. Place filter in basket. Measure one level tablespoon of drip or regular grind coffee for
each cup of coffee desired. For stronger or milder coffee, adjust amount of coffee to
suit your taste.
4. Return filter basket to closed position.

carafe from warming plate. Dripping will automatically cease. Return carafe to position
on warming plate within 30 seconds; dripping will resume.
8. Upon completion of the brew cycle, wait about one minute until the brew drip from the
filter basket into the carafe has stopped. Carafe lid should be kept in place to facilitate
safe serving and help keep coffee at proper serving temperature.
9. To keep coffee hot, return carafe to the warming plate after serving. The warming plate
will automatically cycle to maintain ideal serving temperature as long as the
coffeemaker is on.
10. Switch to “Off” when carafe is empty or when unit is not in use.
BREWING A SECOND POT OF COFFEE
It is recommended that the coffeemaker should be in “Off” position for 10 minutes
between cycles, in order to allow unit to cool. While unit is in “Off” position dispose of
used coffee and rinse carafe, filter and filter basket in water. Place filter back into basket.
Repeat brewing procedure.
HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE
• A clean coffeemaker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regular cleaning,
as specified in “Care and Cleaning of your Coffeemaker” is highly recommended.
• Always use fresh, cold water in your coffeemaker.
• Fine ground coffee promotes fuller extraction and provides rich, full-bodied coffee.
Regular grind will require slightly more coffee per cup to provide the strength of
a finer grind.
• 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 in your Sunbeam Blender
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.
• Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed black coffee are due to the extraction of oil
from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffees
are used. Over extraction may also cause oiliness indicating a need to clean
your coffeemaker.
