1. Remove all packing material from the inside and outside of the  
Coffeemaker.

clean the Glass Carafe, Carafe Lid and Removable Filter Basket in  
hot, sudsy water. Rinse and dry.

Operating Instructions  
Before First Use (cont.)  
4. Clean the inside of the Coffeemaker by brewing two full carafes of  
tap water (see "Brewing Instructions" below). Do not use coffee for  
this initial cleaning. Note: at the end of first cycle, turn  
Coffeemaker off and wait ten minutes. Turn unit on and brew  
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 Filter Basket and may cause  
coffee to back up and spill over during brewing.  
Hints For Great Tasting Coffee  
A clean Coffeemaker is essential for making great tasting coffee.  
Regular cleaning, as specified in "Care and Cleaning of your  
Coffeemaker" on page 10 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 finely 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. Overextraction may also  
cause oiliness, indicating a need to clean your Coffeemaker.  
5.  
Brewing Coffee Instructions  
1. Be sure Power Select Button is in the “OFF” position.  
2. Plug Coffeemaker into any 120 Volt, AC electrical outlet.  
3. Fill Glass Carafe with cold tap water to the correct line indicating  
the desired number of cups. Markings on the Glass Carafe indicate  
level of water required to brew desired number of cups. No less  
than two cups is recommended.  
4. Lift the Water Reservoir Cover and carefully pour into Water  
Chamber. Close Cover.  
Note: The amount of brewed coffee will always be less than the  
amount of water placed into Coffeemaker, since about 10% is  
absorbed by coffee grounds and filter.  
5. Place a #4 paper cone-shaped filter or permanent filter in the  
Removable Filter Basket. Measure one level 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.  
6. Return Filter Holder to closed position.  
7. Place Glass Carafe on Warming Plate.  
8. Switch Power Select Button to ON. (For model TCM12CD with  
electronic timer and automatic shut-off, see important instructions  
on page 8). The Power light will indicate unit is in operation.  
9. If you wish to serve a cup of coffee before brew cycle is  
completed, simply remove Glass Carafe from Warming Plate.  
Dripping will automatically cease. Return Glass Carafe to position  
on Warming Plate within 20 seconds; dripping will resume.  
NOTE: Make sure that the Carafe is replaced under the Filter  
Basket within one minute to prevent overflow.  
10. Upon completion of the brew cycle, wait about one minute until  
the brew dripping from the Filter Holder into the Glass Carafe  
has stopped. Carafe Lid should be kept in place to facilitate safe  
serving and help keep coffee at proper serving temperature.  
11. To keep coffee hot, return Glass Carafe to the Warming Plate after  
serving. The Warming Plate will automatically cycle to maintain  
ideal serving temperature as long as the Coffeemaker is on.

Brewing Coffee Instructions (cont.)  
12. Switch Coffeemaker to OFF when Glass Carafe is empty or when  
unit is not in use. (Models TCM12CD and TCM12CDCAN have  
automatic shut-off and will automatically shut off after two hours  
from start of brew cycle).  
13. To brew another Glass 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.  
Pause And Pour Feature  
1. After approximately 2 cups of coffee have been brewed the  
Carafe may be slowly removed and the coffee will stop dripping.  
2. The flow valve is located on the bottom of the Filter Holder and  
is activated when the Carafe is removed. The design makes it  
possible for you to remove the Carafe and pour a cup of coffee  
before the entire pot is brewed.  
3. When using this feature, make sure that the Carafe is replaced  
under the Filter Holder within 20 seconds to prevent overflow.  
Brewing A Second Pot Of Coffee  
As mentioned above, it is recommended that the Coffeemaker should  
be in OFF position for 10 minutes between cycles, in order to allow  
unit to cool. While unit is in OFF position, dispose of used coffee  
filter, and rinse Glass Carafe and Removable Filter Basket in water.  
Place a fresh filter in Filter Basket. Repeat brewing procedure.  
1. To brew a second pot of coffee, turn the Coffeemaker off and  
allow it to cool. Empty used coffee grounds and repeat steps for  
brewing coffee.  
CAUTION: Failure to allow Coffeemaker to cool may cause water to  
overheat and spray hot steam. The hot steam can cause severe burns.

Care And Cleaning  
Always make sure Coffeemaker is unplugged and in the OFF position and  
Warming Plate is cool before attempting to clean. After daily use, the Filter  
Basket and Glass Carafe should be washed in hot, sudsy water. Wipe exterior  
with a damp cloth to remove superficial stains. For stubborn stains, use a  
nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleanser, such as Bon Ami® or Arm  
& Hammer®. Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.  
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 two weeks, since minerals in water  
can detract from the flavor of the coffee and possibly lengthen brew time.  
1. Fill Glass Carafe with one part white vinegar to three parts cold  
water. Pour water and vinegar solution into the Water Chamber.  
2. Place a paper filter or permanent filter in the Removable Filter Basket  
and swing to closed position. Place Glass Carafe on Warming Plate.  
Switch Power Select Button to ON. During cleaning, more steam will  
occur than during normal brewing.  
3. KEEP THE COFFEEMAKER ON UNTIL CARAFE IS HALF FULL.  
Switch Power Select Button to OFF. When liquid stops dripping from  
Filter Holder into the Glass Carafe, remove the Basket and Glass  
Carafe and allow liquid to cool in the Glass Carafe for 10 minutes.  
When cooled, pour liquid back into the Water Chamber.  
4. Replace Basket and return Glass Carafe to hot plate.  
5. Switch Power Select Button to ON. Repeat procedure, allowing all  
the cleaning solution to empty into the Glass Carafe. After  
dripping has stopped, discard contents of Glass Carafe.  
6. After allowing Coffeemaker to cool for 10 minutes, rinse it out by  
brewing a Glass Carafe full of cold water. Make sure to insert a  
fresh Filter into the Filter Basket before brewing.  
7. At end of brew cycle, switch Power Select Button to OFF. Discard  
water in the Glass Carafe. Remove used filter and wash Glass Carafe  
and Filter Basket in hot sudsy water. Dry parts.
