• To protect against electric shock, do not place the cord, plug, or appliance in water or other liquids.
• 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.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
• The use of an accessory not evaluated for use with this appliance may cause injuries.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a 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 the plug from the wall outlet.
• Keep the lid on the carafe when in use.
• The carafe is designed for use with this appliance and must never be used on a range top.
• 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This product is for household use only.

Polarized Plug (120V Models Only)

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.

Tamper-Resistant Screw

Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

Electrical Cord

a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is provided to reduce the risk 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 great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
3. 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.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified personnel; in Latin America by an authorized service center.

Coffee Brewing Tips

• Stir coffee in the carafe before serving to distribute the flavor evenly.
• For variety, add a 1-inch piece of lemon or orange peel to the coffee grounds before brewing.
• Add a 2-inch piece of vanilla bean to the sugar bowl for a unique taste.
• Keep your coffee maker clean for the best flavor.
• If coffee is left on the hot plate, remove coffee grounds from the filter basket as soon as they have cooled slightly.
• Ground coffee can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks and still make fresh-tasting coffee.
• Use cold tap water; hot tap water that has been sitting in a water heater may give your coffee a metallic taste.

Care and Cleaning

This appliance contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel.

Cleaning

1. Ensure the unit is unplugged and cooled.
2. Open the one-piece cover, remove the filter basket (lift straight up), and discard the paper filter/grounds.
3. Discard the paper filter from the filter basket.
4. Wash the filter basket, carafe, and carafe lid in the dishwasher (top-rack only) or hand-wash in warm, sudsy water.
5. To clean the inside of the reservoir cover, open the one-piece cover and allow it to rest in the open position.
6. Pull the water showerhead out from under the guide, wipe surfaces with a damp cloth, then place the water spreader back under the guide and close the cover.

Maintaining Your Coffeemaker

Mineral deposits from hard water can clog your coffeemaker. Cleaning with vinegar is recommended every 3 months.

Using Vinegar

1. Pour white vinegar into the water reservoir up to the 2-cup level mark.
2. Add cold water up to the 5-cup line.
3. Place a paper filter in the filter basket and close the cover.
4. Set the empty carafe on the "Keep Hot" plate.
5. Turn on the coffeemaker and let half the cleaning solution brew into the carafe (until the water level drops to around the "3" mark). Turn off the coffeemaker and let it soak for at least 15 minutes to soften deposits.
6. Turn on the coffeemaker and brew the remaining cleaning solution into the carafe.
7. Turn off the coffeemaker, empty the carafe, and discard the filter.
8. Fill the reservoir with cold water to the 5-cup line, replace the empty carafe, and turn on the coffeemaker for a complete brew cycle to flush out any remaining cleaning solution. You may need to repeat this to eliminate any vinegar smell or taste.
9. Wash the brew basket and carafe as instructed in the "CLEANING" section.

Cleaning Tips

• Excessive steaming or a prolonged brewing cycle indicates that cleaning is needed.
• The frequency of flushing out deposits depends on your usage and water hardness.
• During cleaning, more steaming occurs than when brewing coffee, and there may be some spitting.
