BEFORE USING YOUR COFFEEMAKER
Before preparing coffee in your new coffeemaker, thoroughly clean the
carafe, carafe lid, removable filter basket, and water chamber cover in hot,
sudsy water. Rinse and dry. Replace disassembled parts. Clean the inside
of the coffeemaker by brewing two full carafes of tap water (see “BREWING
INSTRUCTIONS”). Do not place coffee in filter basket for this initial clean-
ing. Note: At the end of first cycle, turn coffeemaker “OFF” and wait ten min-
utes. Turn unit “ON” and brew second carafe of water.
SPECIAL CARE FOR YOUR CARAFE
A damaged carafe may result in possible burns from hot liquid. To avoid
breaking the carafe:
• Do not allow all liquid to evaporate from carafe. Do not heat carafe when
empty.
• Discard if damaged in any manner. A chip or crack could result in break-
age or contaminate liquid contents with glass particles. To order new
carafe contact Consumer Service.
• Never use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners as they may scratch and
weaken the glass.
• Do not place carafe on or near a hot gas or electric burner, in a heated
oven, or in a microwave oven.
• Avoid rough handling and sharp blows.
COFFEE FILTERS
Number 2 cone-shaped paper filters are available locally at grocery stores
and where coffeemakers are sold. The use of basket-style filters is not rec-
ommended, since they do not conform to the shape of the filter basket and
m ay cause coffee to back up and spill over during brew i n g .
COFFEE YIELD
Note: A 5-ounce cup is the American industry standard and is used by most
coffeemaker manufacturers. To fill up your favorite mug, fill coffeemaker
water chamber with enough water for 2 cups (10 ounces).
BREWING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Plug coffeemaker into any 120V ~ 60Hz outlet.
2. Fill carafe with cold tap water and pour into water chamber. Markings
on the carafe indicate level of water required to brew desired number
of cups or use the markings on the water level indicator. Not less than
two cups is recommended when using 5-cup and 10-cup units.
Note: The amount of brewed coffee will always be less than the
amount of water placed into coffeemaker, since 10% is absorbed by
coffee grounds and filter.
3. Place coffee filter in filter basket. Use a #2 paper cone filter. Measure
