IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, in order to reduce the risk of fire, electric

shock, and/or injury, basic safety precautions should always be followed,

including the following:

PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

■ Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

■ To protect against fire, electric shock, or injury, do not place cord, plug

or Coffeemaker base in water or other liquid.

■ WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove

the bottom cover from the Coffeemaker. There are no user-serviceable

parts inside. Repairs should be done by authorized personnel only.

■ Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

■ Unplug when Coffeemaker is not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool

before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the Coffeemaker.

■ Do not operate Coffeemaker without water in the reservoir before brewing.

■ Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the

appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. If

the product requires attention within the warranty period, call the toll-

free number listed on the cover of this manual for information on

examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

■ To avoid an electrical overload, do not operate another high-wattage

appliance on the same circuit with this Coffeemaker.

■ The use of an accessory not approved for operation with this

Coffeemaker may result in fire, electric shock, or injury.

■ Do not use outdoors.

■ Do not let cord hang over the edge of table or counter, or come in

contact with hot surfaces.

■ Do not store anything directly on top of the appliance surface.

■ Keep the lid on the serving carafe when in use.

■ Do not place carafe on or near a hot gas or electric range top burner or

in a heated oven.

■ Use the “Keeps Hot” plate only. Do not heat the carafe on a range top

or in a microwave oven.

■ Do not set a hot carafe down on a wet or cold surface.

■ Do not use the carafe if the glass is cracked or has a loose or weakened handle.

■ Allow basket to cool before removing it from the Coffeemaker.

■ Do not clean the carafe with cleansers, steel wool, or other abrasives.

■ Do not use this Coffeemaker for anything other than its intended use.

■ Do not pour liquid other than water or the cleaning solution specified in

this manual into the water reservoir.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug—one blade is wider than the other. As

a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the

plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it and try again. If it still does

not fit, contact an electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

SOFT-GRIP HANDLES

NOTE: The rubberized handles are free of natural rubber and latex. They

are safe for use by individuals allergic or sensitive to these materials.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent

removal of the bottom cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,

do not attempt to remove the bottom cover. There are no user serviceable

parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

The cord length of this Coffeemaker was selected to reduce safety hazards

that may occur with a longer cord. If more cord length is needed, an

extension cord with a polarized plug may be used. It should be rated not

less than 10 amperes, 120 Volts, and have Underwriters Laboratories

listing. When using a longer cord, be sure it does not drape over a

working area or dangle where it could be pulled on or tripped over.

Handle cord carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining it at outlet

and appliance connections.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■ Remember to place the carafe on the “Keeps Hot” plate before brewing

and when using the automatic timer on clock models.

■ Do not operate any electric appliance in the presence of explosive

and/or flammable fumes.

■ This product is intended for household use ONLY and not for

commercial or industrial use. Use for anything other than intended will

void the warranty.

The lightning symbol refers to “dangerous voltage;” the exclamation symbol

refers to maintenance instructions. See below.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove the cover of

the coffeemaker. There are no user-servicable parts inside. Repair should be done

by authorized service personnel only.

RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK. DO NOT OPEN.

1. Lift the one-piece Cover and use the Carafe to fill the Water Reservoir with

cold water to your desired level (watch for the level in the Water Windows).

2. Place a paper filter into the Brew Basket, add coffee to the desired level

(about one heaping tablespoon for every 2 cups—adjust to your taste)

and close the Cover.

3. Sit the Carafe with its Lid on the “Keeps Hot” plate and plug the unit in.

4. Press “On/Off” and the light under it will come on. Or for delayed

brewing, see “Setting the Clock Timer.” You don’t have to set the clock

if you want to brew coffee right away.

IMPORTANT: WASH CARAFE BEFORE FIRST USE!

2. Wash the Carafe, Filter Basket, and Lid in hot, sudsy water—rinse

thoroughly—or in a dishwasher, top rack.

3. Pour cold water up to the 8-cup level mark into the Water Reservoir

and brew it through as instructed in BREWING COFFEE, but do not add

coffee grounds. When done, turn the Coffeemaker off and discard the

water from the Carafe.

reach the correct hour. Watch for the

little dot in the top left corner of

the display that indicates "p.m."

time. Press the MINUTES

button to set the correct

minutes. (A) Once set, the

clock will continue to keep

time unless the Coffeemaker

is unplugged or there is a

power failure. If not set, the clock

will continue flashing 12:00 a.m.

2. To set the auto on time: press the PROGRAM button and the light

under the AUTO ON button will start flashing indicating it is being

programmed. Press the HOUR, then MINUTES buttons to set the time

you’d like coffee to automatically begin brewing (for example 7:15

a.m.). Watch for the "p.m." indicator dot at the top left of the digital

display. When you’re done, press the AUTO ON button. The AUTO ON

light will stop flashing and remain on to show the timer is activated.

with a light flashing under AUTO ON. When the light stops flashing,

the clock will return to the current time of day. Press AUTO ON to

reactivate the timer. To automatically brew coffee again at the same

pre-set auto-on time the next day, prepare your Coffeemaker for

brewing again and press the AUTO ON button.

Note: The auto-on function can be canceled at any time by pressing the

AUTO ON button a second time. The AUTO ON light will go out.

5. Replace the Carafe on the “Keeps Hot” plate when not serving to keep

coffee hot.

6. Press “On/Off” when done. The Coffeemaker will keep coffee warm for

2 hours before it shuts off automatically.

SNEAK-A-CUP®

The Sneak-a-Cup®Interrupt Feature lets you pour a cup of coffee before

brewing is done. There is an automatic drip stop that lets you remove the

Carafe to "sneak-a cup" without leaking from the Filter Basket.

NOTE: The Carafe must be replaced under the Filter Basket within

one minute to prevent the Basket from overflowing.

CARING FOR YOUR CARAFE

A damaged Carafe may result in possible

burns from a hot liquid. To avoid breaking:

■ Do not allow all liquid to evaporate from the Carafe while on the “Keeps

Hot” plate or heat the Carafe when empty.

■ Discard the Carafe if chipped, cracked, or damaged in any manner.

■ Never use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers, they will scratch and

weaken the glass.

■ Do not place the Carafe on or near a gas or electric burner, in a heated

oven, or in a microwave oven.

■ Avoid rough handling and sharp blows.

NOTE: TO ORDER A REPLACEMENT OR ADDITIONAL CARAFE, CALL

1-800-258-6003.

MINERAL DEPOSITS AND CLOGGING

Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your Coffeemaker. Excessive

steaming or a prolonged brewing cycle are signs that a cleaning is

needed. The frequency of flushing out deposits is affected by your usage

and water hardness. During cleaning, more steaming occurs than when

brewing coffee and there may be some spitting.

1. Pour white vinegar into the Water Reservoir up to the 4-cup level on

the Water Window. Add cold water up to the 10-cup mark.

2. Put a paper filter in the Filter Basket and close the Cover. Set the

empty Carafe on the “Keeps Hot” Plate.

CLEANING YOUR COFFEEMAKER

1. To clean your Coffeemaker, be sure the unit is OFF and cooled. Open the

Cover, remove the Brew Basket, and discard the paper filter/grounds.

Clean as follows:

• Filter Basket, Carafe, and Lid are all top rack

dishwasher-safe; or they may be hand washed

in hot, sudsy water.

• The Coffeemaker’s exterior, Control Panel

area and “Keeps Hot” plate may be cleaned

with a soft damp cloth or sponge. Do not

use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.

Never immerse the Coffeemaker in water.

2. To clean inside the Reservoir Cover, pull

the Water Spreader down (B), wipe the

surfaces with a damp cloth, and snap the

Water Spreader back into place.
