CARE AND CLEANING
1-4 CUP BUTTON
This special cycle optimizes flavor when brewing 1 to 4 cups of coffee. Push ‘1-4 Cup’ button
before the ‘Start/Stop’ button to activate the 1-4 Cup function. The words of both buttons will
illuminate. When brewing is finished, three beeps sound, both buttons go out, and the coffee-
maker automatically switches to warming plate mode.
To clean the inside of the water tank, raise the water tank cover and allow it to rest in the open
position. Pull the water tank up by the finger grip, and remove the tank from the base. Wash tank
with warm sudsy water. The water tank is dishwasher safe (top rack only).
CARAFE CARE
A damaged carafe may result in possible burns from a hot liquid. To avoid breaking:
1. DO NOT allow all liquid to evaporate from the carafe while on the warming plate and never heat
the glass carafe when empty.
2. DISCARD the carafe if chipped, cracked, or damaged in any manner.
3. NEVER use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers; they will scratch and weaken the glass.
4. DO NOT place the carafe on or near a gas or electric burner, in a heated oven, or in a microwave
oven.
5. Avoid rough handling and sharp blows.
6. DO NOT set a hot carafe down on a wet or cold surface.
CARE AND CLEANING
ALWAYS UNPLUG the coffeemaker from the electric outlet before cleaning.
The exterior of the coffeemaker, the control panel area and the warming plate should only be
cleaned with a soft damp cloth.
WARNING - NEVER immerse the coffeemaker in water or any liquid.
WARNING - DO NOT clean the warming plate unless it is completely cool.
DO NOT use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.
CLEANING THE COFFEEMAKER AND CHANGING THE CHARCOAL FILTER
Mineral deposits from water can clog your coffeemaker. After every 70 brewing cycles,

6-cup level shown inside tank.

5. Put a paper filter in the brew basket, close cover,
and place empty carafe on the warming plate.
