BEFORE YOU USE YOUR COFFEEMAKER
Before preparing coffee in your new coffemaker, thoroughly clean the
carafe, carafe lid, removable filter basket, and water chamber cover in
hot, sudsy water. Rinse and dry. Clean the inside of the coffeemaker by
brewing two full carafes of tap water (see “Brewing Instructions” on p.7).
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. Turn unit on
and brew second carafe of water. Replace disassembled parts.
SPECIAL CARE FOR YOUR CARAFE
A damaged carafe may result in possible burns from hot liquid. To avoid
breaking the carafe:
n
Do not allow all liquid to evaporate from carafe. Do not heat carafe
when empty.
n
Discard carafe if damages in any manner. A chip or crack could result
in breakage or contaminate liquid contents with glass particles.
n
Never use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers as they may scratch
and weaken the glass.
n
Do not place carafe on or near a hot gas or electric burner, in a
heated oven, or in a microwave oven.
n
Avoid rough handling and sharp blows.
COFFEE FILTERS
Cone-shaped paper filters are available locally at grocery stores and
where coffeemakers are sold. Standard #4 filters should be used.
Permanent gold filters may also be purchased, eliminating the need for
disposable paper filters.
The use of basket style paper filters is not recommended, since they do
not conform to the shape of the filter basket and may cause coffee to
back up and spill over during brewing.
BREWING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Plug coffeemaker into AC electrical outlet which meets the voltage
indicated on the appliance.
2. Fill carafe with cold tap water and pour into water chamber. Markings
on the carafe indicate level of water required to brew desired number
of cups.
NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee will always be less than the
amount of water placed into coffeemaker, since about 10% is
absorbed by coffee ground and filter.
3. Place coffee filter in filter basket. Measure one level tablespoon of
drip or regular grind coffee for each cup of coffee to suit your taste.
4. Return filter basket to closed position.
5. Place carafe on warming plate.
