This appliance is for household use and may be plugged into any 120-volt AC electrical
outlet (ordinary household current). Do not use any other electrical outlet.
NOTE:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety
feature, this plug fits in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit into the
outlet, reverse the plug and try again. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement
or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used with care; however, its
marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance. The extension cord should not drape over the counter or tabletop, where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS
1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are
found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord
replaced. Please return it to our Service Department or to an authorized service
representative.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue
stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, OR IF
APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
INITIAL USE:
Before using coffee maker for the first time, wash carafe, lid and filter holder in warm,
soapy water. Rinse well and dry thoroughly. Wipe unit with a soft, slightly damp cloth or
sponge to remove any packaging dust. NEVER IMMERSE the appliance, cord or plug, in
water or other liquid.
Before brewing coffee for the first time, allow water to cycle through without coffee or
paper filter; this will clean the water reservoir and filter holder prior to initial use.
COFFEE FILTERS:
This coffee maker is designed to be used with a cone-shaped paper filter. We
recommend #4 size Melitta paper filters, available at local grocery stores or wherever
coffee makers are sold. The use of basket-style paper filters is not recommended, since
they do not conform to the shape of the filter holder and may cause coffee to back up
and spill over during brewing.
BREWING COFFEE:
Be sure On/Off button is in the Off position. Using carafe markings as a guide, measure
and pour cold water into water reservoir (Fig. 2).
NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee will measure slightly less than original water due to
absorption of water by the coffee grounds.
Lift the lid and carefully pour desired amount of water into reservoir. Markings on water
level indicator will measure capacity.
Adjust filter holder so that it fits securely in brew basket. (Notch on filter holder should
line up with notch on brew basket.) Place #4 disposable paper filter in filter holder and
add 1 level tablespoon of coffee for each cup of coffee desired. If using a scoop, use one
scoop (equivalent to two tablespoons) for every two cups of coffee. Increase or decrease
amount of coffee used to suit individual taste. Gently shake paper filter to spread coffee
evenly. Close reservoir lid.
To switch on, press the On/Off button. The indicator light will illuminate, indicating that
the coffee maker is switched on and brewing is in progress, and the amount of time
