Before Using Your
Thermal Coffeemaker
WARNING: To reduce risk of fire or electric shock, do not immerse
Cord, Plug or appliance in water or any other liquid.
1. Before preparing coffee in your new coffeemaker, thoroughly
clean the Carafe, Carafe Lid and Removable Filter Basket in
warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Replace disassembled
parts.
Note: The Removable Filter Basket must be placed into the
coffeemaker with the arrow pointing toward the back of the unit.
2. Clean the inside of the coffeemaker by brewing two full Carafes
of tap water (see Brewing Instructions). Do not place a filter or
coffee in the Removable Filter Basket for this initial cleaning.
Note: At the end of the first brewing cycle, turn the Coffeemaker off
and wait ten minutes for the appliance to cool. Turn unit on and brew
second Carafe of cool water.
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 Removable Filter Basket
and may cause coffee to back up and spill over during brewing.
