IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, 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 the cord, plugs, or appliance 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. Contact Consumer Support at the toll-free number listed in the warranty section.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock or injury to persons.

Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
To disconnect, turn any control off, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.

Keep the lid on the carafe when in use.
Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during the brewing cycles.

This product is for household use only.
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.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in , their use.
If an extension cord is used:
- The marked electrical rating of the 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 cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
  Note: If the power cord is damaged, please contact the warranty department listed in these instructions.

Care and Cleaning

This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer the service to qualified service personnel. Make sure your coffeemaker is unplugged and cool.

Remove the filter basket. Discard the used paper filter and coffee grounds.
Wash filter basket, carafe, and carafe lid in dishwasher (top rack) or by hand in hot water with dish soap.
Wipe outside of coffeemaker and carafe plate with a soft, damp cloth.
Note: Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads. Never immerse the coffeemaker in water.
To clean the inside of the cover, open the cover and leave it in the open position; wipe with a damp cloth.

CLEANING WITH VINEGAR

Note: With regular use, minerals and hard water can clog your coffeemaker. A full cleaning with vinegar is recommended once a month.

Pour white vinegar into the water reservoir up to the 6-cup mark on the water window. Add cold water up to the 12-cup mark.
Put a paper filter in the filter basket and close the cover. Set the empty carafe on the carafe plate.
Turn the coffeemaker on. Let half the cleaning mixture brew into the carafe (until the level is around 6). Turn off the coffeemaker and let it soak for at least 15 minutes.
Turn the coffeemaker on again and brew the remaining cleaning mixture into the carafe. Turn the coffeemaker off; empty the carafe and discard the paper filter.
Fill reservoir with cold water to 12-cup line; replace carafe on carafe plate and then turn coffeemaker on for a complete brewing cycle to flush out remaining cleaning mixture. You may want to repeat this step to completely remove the vinegar smell/taste.
