CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Always turn coffeemaker off and remove
the plug from the electrical outlet before
cleaning.
Lift up the coffeemaker lid. Remove and
discard the paper filter and ground coffee.
The filter basket can be washed in warm,
soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or
cleaned in the upper rack of the dishwasher.
Dry all parts after use.
Do not put any water in the unit once the
filter basket has been removed. Wipe the
area under the filter basket with a damp
cloth.
Remove the carafe from the heating plate.
Discard any remaining coffee. The carafe and
lid can be washed in warm, soapy water and
rinsed thoroughly, or placed in a dishwasher.
The carafe and carafe lid should be placed
on the upper rack only.
Do not use any scouring agents or harsh
cleansers on any part of the coffeemaker.
Never immerse base unit in water or other
liquids. To clean base, simply wipe with a
clean, damp cloth and dry before storing.
Fingerprints and other blemishes on the
housing can be washed off with soap and
water or a nonabrasive cleaning solution.
Wipe heating plate with a clean, damp cloth.
Never use rough, abrasive materials or
cleansers to clean the heating plate. Do not
dry the inside of the water reservoir with a
cloth, as lint may remain.
Maintenance
Any other servicing should be performed by
an authorized service representative.
DECALCIFICATION
Decalcification refers to the removal of cal-
cium deposits that form over time on the
metal parts of your coffeemaker. The mineral
content of the tap water in your area and
the frequency of use affects the rate of the
calcium buildup, which can affect the func-
tioning of your coffeemaker and the flavor of
your coffee.
For best performance from your coffeemaker,
we recommend cleaning it whenever the
CLEAN LED indicator lights up.
NOTE:
Before decalcifying your unit, remove
the charcoal water filter from the water
reservoir.
To clean:
1. Fill the water reservoir to capacity with a
mixture of
1
⁄
3
white vinegar and
2
⁄
3
water.
2. Press and hold the CLEAN button. When
the CLEAN LED indicator flashes, the
coffeemaker is in Clean mode. Release
the button.
3. When the cycle is completed, 5 beeps will
sound and the coffeemaker will shut off.
4. If the CLEAN indicator illuminates once
more, repeat the cleaning procedure with
a fresh solution of vinegar and water.
NOTE:
One cleaning cycle is usually
sufficient.
5. When the CLEAN indicator remains off,
run one cycle with a full reservoir of fresh,
cold water to rinse the unit.
6. Return the charcoal water filter to the
holder inside the water reservoir and your
coffeemaker is ready to brew!
SETTING THE AUTO OFF TIME
1. Press and hold the Auto Off button for
2 seconds.
The digital display will flash the
programmed Auto Off default (2:00) or
previously selected time. Follow directions
under SETTING THE CLOCK to program
coffeemaker to shut off from 0 to 4 hours
after brew cycle is finished.
2. To exit/confirm Auto Off time setting:
Do not touch any buttons. Auto Off
Setup mode will be exited automatically
after 5 seconds.
TURNING OFF READY TONE
Your coffeemaker features a Ready Tone
that beeps 5 times when coffee is finished
brewing. To turn this alert off, press Tone
button; an icon will appear in display to
indicate tone is off. To turn tone back
on, press Tone button again; icon
will disappear.
MAKING COFFEE
Follow instructions in BEFORE
BREWING YOUR FIRST POT OF COFFEE
(page 7). This only needs to be
performed once.
1.
Fill the water reservoir
Lift the coffeemaker lid to open. Pour the
desired amount of water into the water
reservoir using the water level indicator
located at the side of the coffeemaker.
2.
Add the ground coffee
Insert a #4 paper filter
OR
the gold-tone
filter. Be sure that the paper filter is com-
pletely open and fully inserted in the bas-
ket. It may help to fold and flatten the
seams of a paper filter beforehand.
Add 1 level scoop of ground coffee per cup.
Adjust the amount according to taste.
NOTE:
The maximum capacity for ground
coffee is 15 tablespoons for this coffeemaker.
Exceeding this amount may cause overflow if
the coffee is too finely ground.
3. Position carafe and plug in unit
Place carafe on heating plate and be sure
coffeemaker lid is closed. Plug coffeemaker
into an electrical outlet.
4. Set preferences
a. Press the 1–4 cup button if you are
brewing 4 cups or less. The indicator
light will illuminate.
b. Press the Bold button to select stronger
coffee flavor, if desired. The button’s
indicator light will illuminate. Press again
to turn off light and brew at regular
strength.
c. Choose Low (L), Medium (M) or High (H)
carafe temperature by pressing Carafe
Temp button. Selection will appear in
display.
5.
Start Brewing
Press the Brew/Off button to begin
brewing.
6.
After brewing
When the brewing cycle has been
completed, five beeps will sound.
Coffee will continue to stream from
the filter for several seconds.
Note:
Reservoir cover may be hot dur-
ing and directly after brewing. Wait at
least 10 minutes before opening.
Brew Pause
™
Feature
This feature interrupts the flow of coffee
from the basket to let you pour that first
cup mid-brew. Because the flavor profile
of coffee brewed at the start of a cycle
differs from that brewed toward the end,
be aware that using this feature will
weaken the flavor strength of the
finished pot.
NOTE:
Removing carafe for more than
20 seconds during brew cycle may
cause filter basket to overflow.
