Important Safeguards
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
- Read all instructions.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
- To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, do not immerse cord, plugs, or coffee maker in water or other liquid.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
- Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
- To disconnect, turn any control to "off", then remove plug from wall outlet.
- Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
- Carafe is designed for use with this appliance. It must never be used on a range top.
- Do not place a hot carafe on a wet or cold surface.
- Do not use a cracked carafe or a carafe having a loose or weakened handle.
- Do not clean carafe with cleansers, steel wool pads, or other abrasive material.
- This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

Setup
Before First Use:
- Unpack the coffee maker and remove all packaging materials.
- Clean all detachable parts: the carafe, filter basket, and reusable filter. Wash them in warm, soapy water, then rinse thoroughly and dry.
- Wipe the exterior of the coffee maker with a damp cloth.
- Before brewing coffee for the first time, operate the coffee maker with water only to clean the internal components. Fill the water reservoir to the MAX level, place the empty carafe on the warming plate, and run a full brew cycle. Discard the water. Repeat this process once more.
Operating Instructions
Brewing Coffee:
- Open the top lid and fill the water reservoir with fresh, cold water to the desired level, indicated by the cup markings on the side of the reservoir. Do not exceed the MAX fill line.
- Place the reusable filter into the filter basket. If using a paper filter, ensure it is properly seated.
- Add the desired amount of ground coffee into the filter. A general guideline is one level tablespoon of ground coffee per cup. Adjust to taste.
- Close the top lid securely.
- Place the empty glass carafe onto the warming plate.
- Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.
- Press the ON/OFF button to start the brewing process. The indicator light will illuminate.
- The coffee maker will automatically stop brewing once the water reservoir is empty. The warming plate will keep the coffee hot for 120 minutes before automatically shutting off.
Setting the Clock:
- Plug in the coffee maker. The display will show "12:00 AM".
- Press the HOUR button to set the hour. Press and hold to advance quickly.
- Press the MIN button to set the minutes. Press and hold to advance quickly.
- Ensure the AM/PM indicator is correct.
Using the Delay Brew Function:
- Follow steps 1-6 for brewing coffee.
- Set the current time using the HOUR and MIN buttons.
- Press the PROG button. The display will flash "12:00 AM".
- Use the HOUR and MIN buttons to set the desired delayed brew time.
- Press the PROG button again to confirm the setting. The indicator light for PROG will illuminate.
- The coffee maker will automatically start brewing at the programmed time.
Adjusting Brew Strength:
- After adding coffee grounds, press the STRONG button before starting the brew cycle. The indicator light for STRONG will illuminate. This will slow down the brewing process for a bolder flavor.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Daily Cleaning:
- Always unplug the coffee maker before cleaning and allow it to cool completely.
- Remove the filter basket and reusable filter. Discard used coffee grounds.
- Wash the carafe, filter basket, and reusable filter in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. These parts are also top-rack dishwasher safe.
- Wipe the exterior surfaces of the coffee maker with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
- Clean the warming plate with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive materials.
Descaling (Mineral Deposit Removal):
Mineral deposits (calcium) can build up in your coffee maker and affect its performance. Regular descaling is recommended every 2-3 months, or more frequently in areas with hard water.
- Prepare a descaling solution by mixing white vinegar and cold water in equal parts. For a 12-cup coffee maker, approximately 6 cups of vinegar and 6 cups of water should be sufficient.
- Pour the solution into the water reservoir.
- Place the empty carafe on the warming plate.
- Press the ON/OFF button to start a brew cycle. Allow half of the solution to brew through.
- Press the ON/OFF button again to pause the brewing and let the solution soak for at least 15 minutes to loosen deposits.
- Resume the brew cycle by pressing the ON/OFF button again, allowing the remaining solution to brew through.
- Discard the solution from the carafe.
- Run at least two full cycles with fresh, cold water only to rinse the coffee maker thoroughly and remove any residual vinegar taste.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Coffee does not brew. | Coffee maker not plugged in; power outage; ON/OFF button not pressed; water reservoir empty; carafe not properly placed. | Ensure unit is plugged in; check power supply; press ON/OFF button; fill water reservoir; ensure carafe is correctly seated on warming plate. |
| Coffee is too weak or too strong. | Incorrect coffee-to-water ratio; incorrect grind size; STRONG brew setting not used (for strong coffee). | Adjust amount of coffee grounds; use medium grind for drip coffee makers; activate STRONG brew setting for bolder flavor. |
| Water overflows from filter basket. | Too much coffee grounds; filter basket not properly seated; paper filter collapsed; mineral buildup. | Reduce coffee grounds; ensure filter basket is correctly in place; use a high-quality paper filter or ensure reusable filter is clean; descale the coffee maker. |
| Coffee tastes bad. | Old or stale coffee; dirty coffee maker; improper water quality. | Use fresh coffee beans/grounds; clean coffee maker thoroughly (including descaling); use filtered water. |
| Clock/Timer not working. | Power interruption; incorrect setting. | Reset the clock; ensure PROG button is pressed to activate delayed brew. |
