• Never immerse coffeemaker in water or any other liquid.
• Completely clean and dry all removable parts after every use.
• Always turn coffeemaker OFF and remove the plug from the electrical outlet
before cleaning it.
• Open the top cover and remove the permanent or paper filter and the filter
basket.
• These can be washed in warm
soapy water and rinsed thoroughly,
or cleaned in the upper rack of the
dishwasher. (Figure 4)
• 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 glass carafe from the
warming plate. Discard any remain-
ing coffee.
• The carafe and lid can be washed in
warm soapy water and rinsed, or in
the top rack of your dishwasher.
• Do not use scouring agents or harsh cleansers on any part of the coffeemaker.
• Never immerse base unit in water or other liquid. To clean base, simply wipe
with a clean, damp cloth and dry before storing.
• Wipe warming plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive materi-
als or cleansers to clean the warming plate.
• Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may
remain.
To ensure your coffeemaker continues to make good coffee, you should
occasionally de-scale the mineral residue left by water using a descaling
product specifically formulated for coffeemakers.
The frequency of this operation will depend on the hardness of the water in your
area and on how often you use your coffeemaker. If you use it once or twice a day,
use the following as a guideline:
• Soft water: de-scale twice a year.
• Medium hard water: descale 4 times a year.
• Very hard water: descale monthly.
Use a standard descaling agent sold for coffeemakers according to application
instructions, or use a mixture of
1
⁄
2
vinegar and
1
⁄
2
water. Pour descaling mixture into
the reservoir, and switch on appliance.
When descaling liquid has passed completely, empty carafe and pour out hot liquid.
Never pour hot descaling solution into water container. Process may need to be
repeated due to the hardness of water.
Attention: After descaling it is necessary to operate the appliance 2-3 times with
a full container of fresh water as done before the first use. No guarantee is assumed
for damages that are due to disregard of the descaling instructions.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a
safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, 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
1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long detachable power cord or extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the detachable power supply cord or
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance.
• If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be
the same type 3-wire.
• The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over
the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over.
