INTRODUCTION  
Enjoy coffee making in your FARBERWARE® 12 Cup 24 Hour  
Programmable Coffeemaker with LCD Clock and Timer. Use the  
BREW STRENGTH Button to ensure optimum flavor and offer a  
stronger cup of coffee. Left unattended, this Coffeemaker will keep  
your Carafe of freshly-brewed coffee warm for up to 2 hours. The non-  
stick Warming Plate, Auto Pause & Pour and LED Power Indicator  
Light are some of the features that make this Coffeemaker a must in  
every kitchen.  
BEFORE BREWING COFFEE  
FOR THE FIRST TIME  
WARNING: To reduce risk of fire or electric shock, do not immerse  
Cord, Plug or appliance in water or any other liquid.  
1. Remove all packing material from the inside and outside of  
the Coffeemaker.  
2. Before preparing coffee in your new  
Coffeemaker, thoroughly clean the  
Glass Carafe, Carafe Lid and  
Removable Filter Basket in hot,  
sudsy water. Rinse and dry.  
3. Replace disassembled parts.  
NOTE: The Removable Filter Basket must  
be placed into the Coffeemaker with  
the 2 handles, located on the sides of  
the Filter Basket, aligning with the 2  
notches on the inside of the unit (see  
FIGURE 3  
Figure 3). Press the Filter Basket down  
until it clicks into place.  
4. Clean the inside of the Coffeemaker by brewing two full carafes of  
tap water (see BREWING INSTRUCTIONS on page 7). Do not use  
coffee for this initial cleaning.  
NOTE: At the end of the first cycle, turn the Coffeemaker OFF and  
wait 10 minutes. Turn unit ON and brew a second Carafe of  
fresh water.  
COFFEE FILTERS  
Cone-shaped paper filters are available locally at grocery stores and  
where Coffeemakers are sold. Standard #4 filters should be used.  
The use of basket-style paper filters is not recommended, since they do  
not conform to the shape of the Removable Filter Basket and may  
cause coffee to back up and spill over during brewing.  
6
BREWING INSTRUCTIONS  
1. Place the Coffeemaker on a flat, level surface. Plug the unit into a  
120V, AC electrical outlet.  
2. Open the Lid by using the lip located on top of the Coffeemaker.  
(See Figure 1.)  
3. Place a #4 cone-shaped paper filter into the Removable Filter  
Basket. Measure 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of drip or regular grind coffee  
for each cup of coffee desired. For stronger or milder coffee, adjust  
amount of coffee to suit your taste.  
NOTE: We recommend using coffee ground specifically for automatic  
drip coffeemakers.  
4. Fill the Carafe with cold water and pour water into the Water  
Chamber. Fill to the desired level using the Water Level Indicator  
Window to measure. For the best tasting brewed coffee, it is  
recommended that no less than 2 cups of coffee be brewed at a  
time. Place the Carafe on the Warming Plate.  
IMPORTANT: Always use fresh, cool water in your appliance.  
Warm water or other liquids, except as listed in the Care and  
Cleaning Instructions, may cause damage to the appliance.  
NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee will always be less than the  
amount of water placed into the Coffeemaker, since about 10% is  
absorbed by the coffee grounds and filter.  
5. Close the Lid.  
6. You may choose to brew your coffee at a stronger brew strength.  
To do so, press the BREW STRENGTH Button. A filled coffee cup  
icon will appear in the Display indicating a stronger brew strength.  
(See Figure 2.)  
7. Press the Power Select ON/OFF Button. The Red ON Light will  
illuminate and the word “ON” will appear in the upper right hand  
corner, indicating that the brewing cycle has begun. Hot water will  
be dispensed gently and evenly through the coffee grounds.  
NOTE: If you prefer to use the Timer to preset the Coffeemaker, see  
the USING THE TIMER CONTROL section of this Owner’s Manual.  
8. To pour a cup of coffee before the brew cycle is complete, simply  
remove the Carafe from the Warming Plate and pour. Brewing will  
continue but dripping will automatically pause. Return the Carafe to  
the Warming Plate within 1 minute; dripping will resume.  
CAUTION: To prevent injury when utilizing Pause & Pour (drip-stop)  
feature, replace Carafe within 1 minute of removing during  
brewing process.  
9. To brew another Carafe of coffee, turn unit OFF and wait  
10 minutes to allow heating element to cool.  
IMPORTANT: If unit is not allowed to cool before immediate repeated  
use, water placed in Water Chamber may become overheated and  
a spray of steam could be released from opening, creating a risk  
of burns.

BREWING INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)  
10. When not in use unplug the Base from the wall outlet.  
Allow the unit to cool completely before cleaning. (See USER  
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS.)  
AUTO SHUT-OFF  
As an added convenience, your Coffeemaker has been designed with  
an Auto Shut-Off feature. When the brewing cycle is complete, after  
2 hours, the Coffeemaker will automatically shut-off.  
AUTO PAUSE & POUR  
Remove the Carafe from the Warming Plate. Always keep the Carafe Lid  
on the Carafe.  
IMPORTANT: When using the Auto Pause & Pour Feature while the  
Coffeemaker is still brewing, the Carafe with Lid must be replaced on  
the Warming Plate, under the Filter Basket within (1) one minute to  
prevent the Filter Basket from overflowing.  
BREWING A SECOND CARAFE OF COFFEE  
To brew another Carafe of coffee, turn unit OFF and wait 10 minutes to  
allow heating element to cool. While unit is OFF, dispose of used coffee  
filter, rinse Carafe and the Removable Filter Basket in water. Place a fresh  
filter in Basket. Repeat brewing procedure.  
USING THE TIMER CONTROL  
Your Coffeemaker has a built in multifunction Timer. The following  
sections describe the proper use of the Timer. (See Figure 2.)  
SETTING THE CLOCK  
To set the clock, press the HR Button until the hour has been reached.  
Make sure the proper AM/PM indicator is shown on the left side of the  
Digital Display. Press the MIN Button until the minutes have been  
reached. You may press and hold the HR or MIN Buttons to display the  
correct time more rapidly.  
NOTE: Unplugging the unit will reset the clock to 12:00.  
PRESETTING THE BREWING CYCLE (AUTO BREW)  
To preset your Coffeemaker to begin brewing at a later time, first follow  
steps 1 through 6 in the BREWING INSTRUCTIONS section. Check to  
make sure that the clock is set to the correct time. If not, follow the above  
instructions to set the clock. Press the PROGRAM Button once, the Digital  
Display will flash “Program”. Press the HR and MIN Buttons until the  
desired future brew time is shown. Make sure the proper AM/PM appears  
on the left side of the Digital Display. Press the DRIP Button. The green  
AUTO Light will illuminate indicating that the Coffeemaker is now  
programmed to begin brewing at the preset time. To cancel the  
programmed brew, press the DRIP Button and the green AUTO Light will  
shut OFF.

HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE  
• A clean Coffeemaker is essential for making great tasting coffee.  
Regular cleaning, as specified in CARE AND CLEANING section  
below is highly recommended.  
• Always use fresh, cold water in your Coffeemaker.  
• Finer grinds, such as drip and ADC coffee, promote fuller extraction  
and provide rich, full-bodied coffee. Regular grind will require  
slightly more coffee per cup to provide the strength of a finer grind.  
• Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened,  
keep it tightly sealed in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.  
• For optimum coffee, buy whole beans and grind them just  
before brewing.  
• Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair  
coffee flavor.  
• Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor  
immediately after brewing.  
• Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed, black coffee is due to  
the extraction of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur  
more frequently if heavily roasted coffees are used. Over  
extraction may also cause oiliness, indicating a need to clean  
your Coffeemaker.  
USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS  
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user  
serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing requiring  
disassembly other than cleaning, must be performed by a qualified  
appliance repair technician.  
CAUTION: Be sure to unplug this appliance before cleaning. To  
protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug or  
unit in water or other liquids.  
CARE AND CLEANING  
1. Always make sure Coffeemaker is unplugged and Base and  
Warming Plate are cool before attempting to clean.  
2. After daily use, the Removable Filter Basket, Carafe and Carafe Lid  
should be washed in warm, soapy water.  
3. If necessary, wipe the outside of the Coffeemaker with a soft, damp  
cloth and wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleansers, scouring pads or  
steel wool.  
DESCALING  
Special cleaning of your Coffeemaker is recommended at least once a  
month, depending on frequency of use and quality of water used in the  
unit. If water in your area is especially hard, the following cleaning  
procedure should be performed every 2 weeks, since minerals in water  
can detract from the flavor of the coffee and possibly lengthen brew time.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)  
1. Fill the Carafe with 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts cold water. Pour  
water and vinegar solution into the Water Chamber.  
2. Place a paper filter in the Removable Filter Basket then close the  
Lid. Place Carafe on Warming Plate. Press the Power Select Button

allow the liquid to cool for 10 minutes. When cooled, pour liquid  
back into the Water Chamber.  
4. Return Carafe to the Warming Plate.  
5. Press the Power Select ON/OFF  
Button ON. Repeat procedure,  
allowing all the cleaning solution to empty into the Carafe. After

by brewing a Carafe full of cold water. Make sure to insert a fresh  
filter into the Removable Filter Basket before brewing.  
7. At the end of the brew cycle, press the Power Select Button to  
OFF. Discard water in the Carafe. Remove used filter and wash the  
Carafe, Carafe Lid and Removable Filter Basket in warm, soapy  
water. Rinse well and dry.
