Warming Plates
The coffeemaker has two warming plates, upper and lower. The
upper warming plate located on top of the unit lets a carafe of
coffee stay warm while another pot of coffee is brewing on the
lower warming plate. The On/Off power switches for the upper
and lower warming plates are located on the upper left side of
the coffeemaker.
PLEASE NOTE: WHILE ON, WARMING PLATES ARE vERy
HOT. PLEASE KEEP HANDS AWAy, AND DO NOT PLACE ANy
OBJECTS ON THE PLATES OTHER THAN CARAFES.
Spreader
The spreader distributes hot water evenly over the coffee
grounds. The spreader is located under the mid-section of the
coffeemaker and may be removed for cleaning and inspection for
clogged holes. To remount, turn clockwise to tighten. See #15,
page 6.
Important Notice:
Do not leave the coffeemaker in the
power ON position if you will be away from your home
for more than 3 days, as the water will evaporate from
the heater tank. In this situation, turn the unit off and
unplug the coffeemaker from the electrical outlet until
you return home.
