Mineral Deposits / Decalcifying
Your Coffee Maker must be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive
steaming or the brewing time increases considerably. This condition is
caused by a buildup of lime and mineral deposits from your water. If the
pumping action stops before all the water has been pumped out of the
machine, then the appliance requires decalcification.
The frequency of decalcification depends on the hardness of water used.
It is suggested that this unit be descaled according to the following
intervals:
•
Soft water: every 80 brewing cycles
•
Hard water: every 40 brewing cycles

Polarized Plug
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

reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do
not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
Short Cord Instructions
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Do not use an extension cord with this product.
Plasticizer Warning
CAUTION:
To prevent Plasticizers from migrating from the finish of the
counter top or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters
or place mats between the appliance and the finish of the counter top or
table top.
Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken. Permanent blemishes
may occur or stains can appear.

If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance
may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical
circuit from other appliances.
