The Elite Brand takes consumer safety very seriously. Products are designed and manufactured with our valued consumers’ safety in mind. Additionally, we ask that you exercise a level of caution when using any electrical appliance by following all instructions and important safeguards.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

WARNING: When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed as below:

1. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs if applicable.
2. Be careful of hot steam coming from the lid vents.
3. Do not leave electrical appliances unattended when in use.
4. Always put the appliance on a clean, level surface that can withstand the weight of the brewer including water.
5. Remove all packaging plastics and other materials from unit before operating.
6. Wash all removable accessories before using for the first time.
7. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug or appliance itself in water or other liquids.
8. Never attempt to move the appliance when it is full of hot or cold water.
9. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children.
10. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
11. 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.
12. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
13. Do not use outdoors.
14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
15. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
16. Always attach plug to the appliance first, then plug the cord into a wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to the OFF position, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
17. Oversized foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in the appliance as they may cause a fire or risk of electrical shock.
18. A fire may occur if the appliance is covered or touching flammable material including curtains, draperies, walls and the like when in operation.
19. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, causing a risk of electrical shock.
20. Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers constructed of other material other than metal or glass.
21. Do not store any materials other than the manufacturer’s recommended accessories in this unit when not in use.
22. Do not place any of the following materials in the unit: Paper, cardboard, plastic and other similar items.

SHORT CORD PURPOSE

Note: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord.

Longer power-supply cords or extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. 

If an extension cord is used:

1. the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product;
2. the extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.

POLARIZED PLUG

If this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), please follow the below instructions:

• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.

If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

PARTS IDENTIFICATION

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Read all instructions and important safeguards.
2. Remove all packaging materials; make sure all your items are received in good condition.
3. Wash all the accessories with warm soapy water using a sponge or dishcloth.
4. Rinse thoroughly to remove soapy residue.
5. Wipe body clean with a damp cloth.

NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
NOTE: Do not immerse the appliance, cord or plug in water at any time.

HOW TO USE

1. Place the appliance upright on a dry, sturdy, flat surface.
2. Set coarsely ground coffee aside.
3. Remove the filter basket and stem. Fill the brewer with cold water (40 cups max.) in accordance with the amount of coffee needed. See coffee measuring chart on page 6.
4. Place stem into heating unit in bottom of the coffee brewer, then place filter basket on stem. Spread the recommended amount of ground coffee evenly into the basket. Do not use drip or finely ground coffee as flooding of the basket may occur.
5. Use standard measuring cup (250ml) for measuring coffee. The amount recommended will produce mild coffee. Adjust the amount of coffee depending on individual preference.
6. To make tea, follow the same instructions: substitute tea leaves or tea bags for coffee in basket and add water to desired level.
7. Twist the “Lock-on-lid” in place on coffee brewer. Make sure the lid has been turned clockwise until it is completely locked into the handle slots.
8. Plug cord into wall outlet and the coffee brewer will start making coffee. Allow approximately 1 ~ 11/2 minutes per cup brewing time.
9. When the coffee is done brewing, the coffee maker will switch to keep warm automatically to keep the coffee inside at a suitable temperature. The indicator light will turn on.
10. Before serving, use a protective hot pad or wear mitts to unlock lid and carefully remove filter basket and stem from coffee maker.
11. After use, unplug the coffeemaker and follow the Care and Cleaning instructions.
12. Before brewing a second time, allow brewer to cool and rinse it out.

NOTE

• Do not use hot water.
• Do not add water over the max. level.
• Do not add too much coffee; the top level of coffee should be lower than the edge of the coffee filter by 2 cm/1 inch or the coffee may flood out during heating.
• Do not open the lid while brewing.
• Use caution: the stem, basket, and ground coffee are very hot.
• Do not touch the coffee brewer exterior while in use.
• The coffee brewer can be very heavy when filled. It should not be carried or moved when full of liquid as the weight and unsteady load can cause injury.
• DO NOT position the brewer so that the tap hangs over the counter edge. It is not designed to be used this way and could lead to serious scalds if the tap is switched on by mistake.

HELPFUL TIPS

1. Make at least 12 cups at one time to ensure best coffee flavor. Never make less than the minimum capacity or more than the maximum capacity of the coffee brewer.
2. Do not use finely ground coffee as flooding of the coffee basket can occur.
3. Remove coffee basket and grounds as soon as the brewing cycle is completed. This also helps maintain coffee flavor.
4. If dripping occurs between the faucet and the coffee brewer body, tighten the nut inside the coffee brewer. If the dripping occurs from the faucet spout, tighten the faucet bonnet.

MEASURING CHART

NOTE: This chart is for reference only. Slightly adjust the amount of water, coffee, and tea as needed.

SAFETY CUT OFF

Boil dry accidents are the result of boiling all the water out of an brewer. To prevent boil dry accidents, this appliance is equipped with a thermal limiter with an automatic reset. If the water in the tank is completely boiled away, the appliance will turn itself off. Let the brewer to cool down about half an hour and then fill with cold water, the brewer will start again. Operators are advised to turn the appliance off when not in use, especially overnight.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

1. Clean coffee basket, stem and lid in warm soapy water with a soft dishcloth, rinse and dry. Use a soft damp cloth to scour the stains or residues of lid by using non-abrasive cleaner.
