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 fire, electric shock and injury to persons do not immerse cords plugs, or appliances in water or other liquid.
- 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. Or, call the appropriate toll-free number on the cover of this manual.
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
- 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.
- To disconnect, turn any control to OFF, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
- 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.
- Make sure the unit is unplugged and cooled before cleaning.
- Open water reservoir cover.
- Remove the brew basket by its handle and lift it straight up.
- Discard the paper filter with the grounds.
- Clean parts as follows:
- The brew basket, carafe, and lid are all top-rack dishwasher safe; or they may be hand washed in warm, sudsy water.
- Wipe the exterior and the “Keep Hot” carafe plate with a soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads. Never immerse the coffeemaker in water or other liquids.
TREAT CARAFE WITH CARE
A damaged carafe may result in possible burns from a hot liquid. To avoid breaking:
- Do not allow all liquid to evaporate from the carafe while on the “Keep Hot” carafe plate or heat the carafe when empty.
- Discard the carafe if damaged in any manner. A chip or crack could result in breakage.
- Never use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers; they will scratch and weaken the glass.
- Do not place the carafe on or near a hot gas or electric burner, in a heated oven, or in a microwave.
- Avoid rough handling and sharp blows.
MINERAL DEPOSITS AND CLOGGING
Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your coffeemaker. Excessive steaming and/or a prolonged brewing cycle are signs that a cleaning is needed. The frequency of cleaning out deposits is affected by the regularity of usage and water hardness. During cleaning, more steaming occurs than when brewing coffee and may emit spurts of steam. Cleaning is recommended every 60 brewing cycles.
- Pour white vinegar into the water reservoir up to the 7-cup line on the water level window. Add water up to a 12-cup line.
- Put a paper filter in the brew basket and close the one-piece water reservoir and brew basket cover. Set the empty carafe on the “Keep Hot” carafe plate.
- Turn on the coffeemaker and let half the cleaning solution brew into the carafe (till the water level goes down to around the 6-cup line on the water level window). Turn the coffeemaker off and let it soak for at least 15 minutes to soften the deposits.
- Turn on the coffeemaker and brew the remaining cleaning solution into the carafe.
- Turn off the coffeemaker, empty the carafe, and discard the filter.
- Fill the reservoir with fresh water to the 12-cup line, replace the empty carafe on the “Keep Hot” carafe plate, and then turn on the coffeemaker for a complete brew cycle to flush out the remaining cleaning solution. You may wish to repeat this step to eliminate any remaining vinegar smell/taste.
- Wash the brew basket and carafe as instructed for normal cleaning.
