SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard:
This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet. The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over. To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.
Parts and Features
BEFORE FIRST USE:
Wash all removable parts in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Brew one cycle with water and discard water.
How to Make Coffee
WARNING Burn Hazard.
To avoid hot coffee overflowing from the filter basket:
- When using decaffeinated coffee, do not exceed the coffee manufacturer’s recommended serving amount.
- Ensure swivel filter basket is completely closed.
If filter basket overflow occurs, unplug coffee maker and allow coffee in filter basket to cool before removing filter basket.
NOTE:
If the coffee maker is not turned off manually, it will automatically shut off in 2 hours and the power light will turn off.
To Program Automatic Brew
NOTE:
White LED will illuminate to indicate PROGRAM is activated. White LED light will turn off when the unit begins to brew at the preprogrammed time.
- Choose a brew option. Then, hold PROG button. Next, press and pulse TIME button to set desired brewing hour in AM or PM. Wait 3 seconds; minutes will flash. Then press and pulse TIME button to increase to set minutes. Set time will display constant. Release PROG and current time is displayed.
- Press and release PROG again to activate automatic brew. PROG light will illuminate.
Tips for Best-Tasting Coffee
- All coffees are made from either arabica beans or robusta beans, or some combination of both. Arabica beans are slightly more expensive, but tend to produce better-tasting coffee.
- Ground coffee will become stale much faster than whole beans. If buying preground coffee, chose a package with the latest expiration date or a smaller quantity.
- If grinding whole beans, set your coffee grinder on a fine/medium grind. This will yield the best-tasting grounds. Try to use freshly ground coffee within about a week of grinding.
- Using a water filter, filtered water, or bottled water will yield better-tasting coffee than tap water.
- Use approximately 1 tablespoon of grounds for each cup of coffee being made. To avoid overflow, use about 1/3 less grounds when brewing decaf or flavored coffees.
- Make sure your coffee maker is clean. See “Care and Cleaning” section.
How to Use the Brew Options and Clean Notification
BREW OPTIONS
Your coffee maker will default to the “Regular” strength coffee setting when brewing.
- For stronger coffee, press the BREW OPTIONS button until “BOLD” is illuminated.
- For small amounts, use the 1–4 cup setting by pressing the BREW OPTIONS button until “1–4 CUPS” is illuminated.
- Then, press the I/ ON/OFF button or set the Automatic Brew to start the coffee maker after your brew option has been selected.
CLEAN NOTIFICATION
If unit is always plugged in, after 30 cycles CLEAN will scroll across the display. Follow the directions for “Care and Cleaning.”
NOTES:
- Performing the cleaning procedure will clear the display.
- The brew cycle counter resets every time the coffee maker is unplugged.
If you do not want to perform the cleaning procedure, press the I/ ON/OFF button two times to clear the display.
Care and Cleaning
WARNING Shock Hazard.
Do not immerse cord, plug, or coffee maker in any liquid.
All coffee makers should be cleaned at least once a month (once a week for areas with hard water).
How to Replace the Water Filter
For better-tasting coffee, use a water filter. Filter replacement is recommended every 60 cycles.

Carafe Safety Precautions
- Do not use a cracked carafe or a carafe having a loose or weakened handle.
- This carafe is designed to be used only on the keep-hot plate of your coffee maker. Do not use on a gas or electric range top, or in a microwave or conventional oven.
- To avoid breakage, handle the carafe with care. Avoid impact. Glass will break as a result of the impact. Use care when filling with water to avoid hitting the faucet.
- Do not place hot carafe on cool or wet surface. Allow to cool before washing or adding liquids.
- Do not set the empty carafe on a hot heating surface.
- Do not clean with steel wool pads, abrasive cleanser, or any other materials that may scratch. • Do not place hands inside the carafe. When handling, be careful if wearing any hand jewelry, especially diamond rings. Jewelry can scratch the glass, which increases the possibility of breakage.
- Do not bump, scratch, or boil dry.
- Discard the carafe if it is cracked, scratched, or heated while empty for an extended period of time.
- To avoid accidents, do not pour in the direction of people.
- If stirring in the carafe, use only wooden, plastic, or rubber utensils. Do not use metal utensils.
- Follow the above safety precautions carefully to avoid serious burn injuries which may result if breakage occurs while the carafe holds heated liquids.
