IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:
- Read all instructions.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
- To protect against electric shock, do not place a cord, plug, or appliance in water or other liquids.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
- Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
- The use of an accessory not evaluated for use with this appliance may cause injuries.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
- Do not use this appliance for other than intended use.
- Keep the lid on the carafe when in use.
- Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during the brewing cycles.
POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into 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.
ELECTRICAL CORD
- A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
- Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
- If a long detachable power supply 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 a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
- The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over

Care and Cleaning
This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel.
CLEANING
- Be sure the coffeemaker is off and cooled. Open the cover, remove the permanent filter and filter basket (lift straight up), and discard the grounds or soft pods. Clean as follows: filter basket, permanent filter, thermal traveler mug, and mug lid are all top rack dishwasher-safe; or they may be hand-washed in warm, soapy water. The coffeemaker’s exterior may be cleaned with a soft damp cloth.
- To clean the inside of the cover, open the cover allowing it to rest in the open position. Pull the showerhead to release from under the tab and wipe the surface with a clean damp cloth. After cleaning, insert the showerhead back in position.
CLEANING WITH VINEGAR
Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your coffeemaker. Cleaning is recommended once a month. Excessive steaming or a prolonged brewing cycle is a sign that a cleaning is needed.
- Fill the mug about ¹⁄³ full with white vinegar and then to the MAX line cold water and pour it into the water reservoir.
- Place the mug on the mug rest.
- Press the Start switch and let the cleaning solution brew through until the unit shuts off automatically.
- Repeat the process using a new solution; do not reuse the first solution.
- Use the mug to fill the reservoir with cold water and brew the plain water through to flush out any remaining solution. You may have to repeat the plain water cycle to remove any remaining vinegar taste
- Wash and dry the permanent filter, filter basket, li,d, and mug as instructed in CLEANING.
