4. Close adult supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by or near children.
5. Turn the coffeemaker OFF and unplug the power cord from the power source when the coffeemaker and clock are not in use and before cleaning. Allow the coffeemaker parts to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged power cord or power plug, or operate it after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return this appliance only to the nearest Authorized Service Center for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments other than SUNBEAM™ brand products may cause hazards or injuries.
8. Do not use the coffeemaker outdoors.
9. Do not let the power cord hang over edge of table or counter, or allow it to come into contact with hot surfaces.
10. Do not place this coffeemaker on or near a hot gas stove or electric burner or in a heated oven.
11. To disconnect the coffeemaker, turn it OFF, then remove the power plug from the power supply.
12. Place the appliance on a hard, flat level surface to avoid interruption of airflow underneath the coffeemaker.
13. Avoid contact with any moving parts.
14. This coffeemaker is designed for household use only.
15. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
16. Scalding may occur if lid is removed during brewing cycles.

Decanter Use and Care

Follow the instructions below to reduce or eliminate the chance of breaking the carafe:

• This decanter is designed for use with your SUNBEAM™ coffeemaker and therefore must never be used on a range top or in any oven, including a microwave oven.
• Do not set a hot decanter on a wet or cold surface.
• Do not use a cracked decanter or a decanter having a loose or weakened handle.
• Do not clean the decanter with abrasive cleaners, steel wool pads, or other abrasive materials.
• Discard the decanter immediately if it is ever boiled dry.
• Protect the decanter from sharp blows, scratches, or rough handling.

Special Cord Set Instructions

⚠ WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove any service covers. There are no user serviceable parts inside the coffeemaker. Only authorized personnel should repair the coffeemaker.

1. For your convenience the plug is stored inside the cord storage.
2. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from a person or pet becoming entangled in, or tripping over, a longer cord.
3. An extension cord may be purchased and used if care is exercised in its use.
4. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least 10 amps and 120 volts. The resulting extended cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over a countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
5. 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. You can customize the length of the power cord so that it is the exact length you desire. To increase the length of the power cord: grasp the power cord (not the power plug) and gently lift it out of the slot, then pull it away from the coffeemaker. To decrease the length of the power cord: Grasp the power cord (not the power plug), lift it out of the slot and gently feed it into the coffeemaker. Lock the cord in the slot when finished.

Clean Your Coffeemaker Before Using the First Time

To ensure the best taste for your first cup of coffee, clean your SUNBEAM™ Coffeemaker before its initial use. Follow these simple steps:

1. Wash the decanter, decanter lid, and the filter basket in a mixture of mild detergent and water. Rinse each thoroughly (refer to the parts diagram).
2. Replace all parts and close the lid. Then, run a brew cycle with water only, without adding coffee and a coffee filter.
3. When brewing is complete, turn your coffeemaker off, discard the water in the decanter, and rinse the decanter, decanter lid, and filter basket.

Your coffeemaker is now ready to use. Enjoy it!

Setting the Clock and Delay Brew Time

To Set the Clock:

1. Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. The clock will flash on the control panel, indicating the time has not been set yet.
2. Press and hold the HOUR and MINUTE buttons until you reach the current time. The PM indicator will display when a PM hour is showing.

NOTE: Pressing any button before setting the clock will cause the clock to start keeping time from 12:00 a.m. You must set the clock if you want to use the Delay Brew feature.

To Set the Delay Brew Time:

After setting the clock, simply press and hold the SET DELAY button, and set the brew time by pressing the HOUR and MINUTE buttons. The PM indicator will display when a PM hour is shown.

To check the programmed time, push the SET DELAY button. The display will show the time you have programmed the coffee to brew.

Preparing For Use

Selecting and Measuring Ground Coffee

For best results, use a level tablespoon for ground coffee measurement. Ensure you use medium grind coffee for a perfect brew.

Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart

1 level tablespoon (tbsp) = 5 gr./0.17 oz.

1 cup = 5 fl. oz. of brewed coffee

Use more or less coffee to suit your taste.

Adding Water and Ground Coffee

1. Lift and open the coffeemaker lid. For convenience, you can lift out the removable filter basket.
2. Place a SUNBEAM™ brand 4 cup paper basket-style filter or a SUNBEAM™ permanent filter into the removable filter basket.

NOTE: If using paper filters, it is important that the sides of the filter fit flush against the side of the filter basket. If filter collapse occurs, dampen the filter before placing in the filter basket and adding ground coffee and water.

3. Add the desired amount of coffee and gently shake to level the coffee. See the Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart.
4. Be sure the filter basket is properly centered and all the way down in the filter basket.
5. Fill the decanter with cold, fresh water to the desired capacity (1 cup equals 5 ounces). For easy and accurate filling, the water markings on the glass decanter and on the dual water windows show the amount of water needed to make the corresponding desired number of cups. Do not fill past the "MAX line" or water will flow out of the overfill hole in the back of the water reservoir.

The amount of coffee brewed will always be slightly less than the amount of water poured in the water reservoir. This is due to the minimum absorption of water by the coffee grounds.

6. Pour the water into the water reservoir. Close the lid and place the empty decanter onto the warming plate.

NOTE: Make sure the decanter is fully placed on the warming plate or the water and the grounds will overflow from the filter basket. An overflow may cause personal injury or damage to property.

⚠ CAUTION! To reduce the risk of damaging the decanter and/or the risk of personal injury, do not add cold water to the decanter if the decanter is already hot. Allow the decanter to cool before using.

Brewing Coffee Now

1. Press the ON Button to begin the brewing cycle. The green indicator light will turn on to signal that the coffeemaker is brewing. When the brewing cycle is complete the coffeemaker switches over to the warming mode. Your coffeemaker will keep your coffee hot for 1 hour, then automatically shut off. To turn the coffeemaker off, push the OFF button.

While the coffee is brewing, the Pause 'n Serve feature allows you to sneak a cup of coffee from the decanter. REPLACE THE DECANTER ON THE WARMING PLATE WITHIN 30 SECONDS TO PREVENT OVERFLOW AND POSSIBLE INJURY.

⚠ If the brew basket overflows or fails to empty into the decanter, do not open the brew basket. Turn off the coffeemaker. Unplug the coffeemaker and wait for the contents to cool before handling.

2. After the used coffee grounds have cooled, carefully discard them.
3. Make sure the decanter is empty before starting to brew coffee.
4. Be sure to turn your coffeemaker off when no longer using it.

Brewing Coffee Later

1. You must first set the time when you would like the coffeemaker to begin brewing your coffee as described in "Setting the Clock and the Delay Brew Timer" section.
2. Prepare your coffeemaker as described in “Adding Water and Ground Coffee" section.
3. To activate DELAY BREW and program your coffeemaker to brew coffee at a later time, press the Delay Brew button. The DELAY indicator will appear on the digital display. The coffeemaker is now set to automatically brew coffee at the pre-set later time.
4. At the pre-set time the DELAY indicator will go off, indicating that brewing has started.
5. The coffeemaker warming plate will keep your coffee hot for 1 hour and then automatically turn off.

Cleaning and Maintaining Your Coffeemaker

Daily Cleaning

Always unplug the coffeemaker and allow to cool before cleaning. Remove the filter basket, permanent filter (not included on all models), decanter, and decanter lid and wash them in a solution of hot water and mild liquid soap. Never use abrasive cleansers, steel wool pads, or other abrasive materials. Dishwasher top rack safe parts: glass decanter and lid, filter basket, and permanent filter.

CAUTION! Never immerse the coffeemaker itself in water, in any other liquid, or place in the dishwasher.

Regular Cleaning and Maintenance

The red clean light will turn on to let you know that your coffeemaker needs to be cleaned. The red light will turn off after the clean cycle has been completed.

Decalcifying your SUNBEAM™ Coffeemaker

Minerals (calcium) found in water will leave deposits in your coffeemaker and will affect its performance. It's recommended that you regularly remove these deposits by using SUNBEAM™ Cleaner or vinegar.

1. Follow package instructions to prepare one batch of SUNBEAM™ Coffeemaker Cleaner. Pour the mixture into the water reservoir.

NOTE: 4 cups or 20 fl. oz. of undiluted, white household vinegar may be used as a substitute for the cleaner.

2. Place an empty SUNBEAM™ 4 cup basket-style paper filter or SUNBEAM™ permanent filter into the filter basket and close coffeemaker lid.
3. Place the empty decanter back in the unit, centered on the warming plate.
4. Brew three cups of cleaning solution through the coffeemaker.
5. Turn the coffeemaker off and let stand for 30 minutes.
6. Run the remainder of the cleaning solution through the coffeemaker.
7. Discard the cleaning solution and rinse the decanter thoroughly with clean water.
8. Fill the water reservoir with clean, fresh water.
9. Place the empty decanter back on the coffeemaker, centered on the warming plate.
10. Remove and discard the paper filter used during the cleaning cycle. If a SUNBEAM™ permanent filter was used during cleaning, remove it and rinse it thoroughly before replacing it in the filter basket.
11. Begin brewing and allow the full brew cycle to complete.
12. Repeat Steps 8 through 11 one more time.

Your coffeemaker is now clean and ready to brew the next pot of delicious, hot coffee!

Suggested Decalcifying Interval

Cleaning the Decanter

Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the decanter, and coffee may then turn this stain brown.

To remove decanter stains:

1. Fill the decanter with a solution of equal parts water and vinegar and let the solution stand for approximately 20 minutes.
2. Discard the solution, then wash and rinse the decanter. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners that may scratch the decanter, as scratches may cause the decanter to break.
