SAVE THESE INSTRUCTION

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces 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 as this appliance.

Single-Serve Side, Carafe Side Parts and Features

How to Use Single-Serve Side

WARNING: Burn Hazard.

To avoid contact with hot coffee or water:

• Do not use more than 14 ounces (414 ml) of water.
• Fill the single-serve reservoir with a mug or cup into which the coffee will be brewed.
• Fully insert the mug or cup under the filter basket.

AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF:

The coffeemaker will automatically shut off after the brew cycle is complete.

NOTES:

• The unit will only brew on one side at a time.
• To avoid overflow, use slightly less grounds when brewing decaf or flavored coffees.

• For regular coffee, use a maximum of two level tablespoons of grounds. To avoid overflow, use slightly less grounds when brewing decaf or flavored coffees. WARNING! Keep ground coffee below the MAX fill line to prevent overflow.
• Single-serve brew basket has two markings: the lower level marking for making 8 oz. (237 ml) of coffee, and the higher level mark for making 14 oz. (414 ml) of coffee. DO NOT fill the scoop to the top, or this will cause overflow.
• Press the (ON/OFF) button to begin the flow of coffee. The coffeemaker will shut off when the brew cycle is complete. To stop the flow of coffee mid-cycle, press the (ON/OFF) button.

Tips for Best-Tasting Coffee

• All coffees are made from either Arabica beans, 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 pre-ground coffee, choose 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 slightly less grounds (3/4 Tablespoon [11.1 ml]) when brewing decaf or flavored coffees. Also, be aware that using coffee that is ground too finely may also cause the filter basket to overflow.
• Make sure your coffeemaker is clean. See the  “Care and Cleaning” sections.

Care and Cleaning – Single-Serve Side

All coffee makers should be cleaned at least once a month (once a week for areas with hard water).

• Pour 1/2 cup (118 ml) of plain white vinegar and 1/2 cup (118 ml) of cold water into the single-serve side reservoir.
• Press the (ON button. Press the (OFF) button after 30 seconds and wait 30 minutes. Press the (ON) button. Press the (OFF) button when finished.
• Run 2–3 more brew cycles with CLEAN WATER only. Allow to cool between cycles.
• DO NOT use the “SANI” setting when washing in the dishwasher. “SANI” cycle temperatures could damage your product.

Troubleshooting (Single-Serve Side)

Weak coffee.

Not enough ground coffee was used. See “How to Use Single-Serve Side.”

Coffee overflows from the brew basket, travel mug, or regular mug.

Excessive amount of water in the single-serve reservoir. Use a travel mug or a mug into which coffee will be brewed to fill the reservoir. Use slightly less ground when brewing decaffeinated or flavored coffees. Set the coffee grinder to automatic drip grind.

Coffee tastes bad.

• The coffeemaker needs cleaning.
• Coffee grounds are too coarse or too fine. Set the coffee grinder to automatic drip grind.
• Poor coffee quality and freshness.
• Poor water quality (use filtered or bottled water).

Troubleshooting (Carafe Side)

The brew basket overflows or the coffee brews slowly.

• Excessive amounts of ground coffee.
• Decaffeinated and/or coffee grounds too finely ground can cause overflow. Set the coffee grinder to automatic drip grind and use slightly less ground.
• The coffeemaker needs cleaning.

If using a paper filter:

• Coffee grounds between the paper filter and the brew basket.
• The paper filter is not open and in the proper position.
• Rinse the brew basket before inserting the paper filter so the edges will remain pressed against the sides of the basket.
• Poor-quality paper filter.

Coffee leaks onto the base.

The carafe was removed from the keep-hot plate for more than 20 seconds during the brewing cycle.

Coffee tastes bad.

• The coffeemaker needs cleaning.
• The coffee grounds are too coarse or too fine. Set the coffee grinder to automatic drip grind.
• The coffee-to-water ratio is unbalanced. Adjust for personal preference.
• Poor coffee quality and freshness.
• Poor water quality (use filtered or bottled water).

Coffee sediment in the cup.

Use a high-quality, basket-style paper filter instead of an optional permanent coffee filter.

The coffee is not brewing, or the unit will not turn on.

• The carafe is not positioned on the keep-hot plate.
• The water reservoir is empty.
• The unit is unplugged.
• Power outage.
• Power surge. Unplug; then plug the unit back in.
