POLARIZED PLUG  
This appliance has a polarized plug—one blade  
is wider than the other. To reduce the risk of  
electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized  
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully  
into the outlet, reverse it. If it still does not fit,  
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to  
defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug  
in any way.  
TAMPER-RESISTANT  
This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resis-  
tant screw to prevent removal of the bottom  
cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric  
shock, do not attempt to remove the bottom  
cover. There are no user serviceable parts  
inside. Repair should be done only by autho-  
rized service personnel (see Insert Sheet for a  
list of Black & Decker Company-Owned or  
Authorized Service Centers).  
How To Use  
1. Before the first use, remove all stickers,  
packing material, and literature.  
2. Clean the Carafe, Filter Basket, Permanent  
Filter, and Carafe Lid by washing in hot, sudsy  
water or in a dishwasher—top rack only. Rinse  
thoroughly.  
PREPARATION  
FOR USE

BREWING COFFEE  
1. Place the Permanent Filter into the  
Filter Basket. (Figure A) Add drip  
grind coffee to the filter correspond-  
ing to the amount of coffee to be  
brewed (usually one rounded table-  
spoon for each 5 oz./150 ml cup.  
Adjust to suit your taste).  
NOTE: If you prefer, you may place a  
small cone-shaped paper filter (#2  
size) into the Permanent Filter for easy  
disposal after brewing.  
Figure A  
2. Use the Carafe to fill the Water  
Reservoir with cold water to the  
desired level. Close the flip-up reser-  
voir cover.  
3. Place the empty Carafe on the cof-  
feemaker base. Be sure the Carafe  
Serving Lid is in place.  
4. Push down on the Start Lever. The  
power light will come on and coffee  
will brew through the Lid into the  
Carafe. (Figure B).  
5. When brewing is done, the  
Coffeemaker will automatically turn off  
and the Power “On” light will go out.  
6. Let all the brewed coffee drip from  
the Basket and watch for any hot liq-  
uid dripping from the Basket before  
removing the carafe. Since the carafe  
has a cool-touch exterior, you can  
bring it straight from the coffeemaker  
to table or desk.  
7. DO NOT pour brewed coffee back  
into the Water Reservoir to reheat it.  
Remove the cover and place the  
Figure B  
carafe into a microwave to reheat, or  
pour coffee into a saucepan and heat  
it on a range. If you are reheating in a  
5

convection microwave oven, do not  
use a metal rack. Be careful of scald-  
ing from coffee reheated in a high-  
powered microwave.  
8. Your Coffeemaker can also be used  
to brew hot water for other foods or  
beverages such as tea, hot chocolate,  
instant oatmeal, or soups. Be sure the  
Permanent Filter and Filter Basket  
have been washed in hot, sudsy  
water and rinsed well before brewing  
hot water. Replace the Filter and  
Basket and repeat the brewing  
process for hot water.  
Lift  
Tab  
Figure C  
CAUTION: Be careful when lifting the  
flip-up reservoir cover after brewing  
as this area is hot. Use the Lift Tab  
on the side of the Cover to open it.  
Do not look into the Coffeemaker  
after brewing as steam will be rising.  
CLEANING YOUR COFFEEMAKER  
1. To clean your Coffeemaker after  
brewing coffee, be sure the unit is  
OFF and has cooled. Discard the  
grounds, and clean as follows:  
Filter Basket, Permanent Filter,  
Carafe, and Serving Lid, are all top  
rack dishwasher-safe; or they may be  
hand washed in hot, sudsy water.  
The Coffeemaker’s exterior may be  
cleaned with a soft damp cloth. Do  
not use abrasive cleansers or scour-  
ing pads. Never immerse the  
Coffeemaker in water.  
The Water Spreader area can be  
cleaned by carefully unsnapping the  
spreader from the inside of the Flip-  
Up Reservoir Cover (Figure C).

Wipe the surfaces with a damp cloth. When finished,  
press the Water Spreader against the Cover to snap it  
back into place.  
MINERAL DEPOSITS AND CLOGGING  
Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your  
Coffeemaker. It is necessary to regularly clean your  
Coffeemaker to flush out these deposits. Excessive  
steaming or a prolonged brewing cycle are signs that  
a cleaning is needed.  
Clean your Coffeemaker approximately every 1-3 months.  
The frequency of cleaning required is affected by your  
specific usage and water hardness. You may have to  
clean the Coffeemaker more or less often.  
During cleaning, more steaming may occur than when  
brewing coffee.  
1. Pour 1-1/2 cups (350 ml) of white vinegar into the  
Water Reservoir and add cold water up to the TOP  
FILL line.  
2. Put the Filter Basket and Permanent Filter in place.  
Set the empty Carafe securely onto the base of the  
unit with its Lid in place.  
3. Turn the Coffeemaker on.  
4. Let half the cleaning solution brew into the Carafe,  
then turn the Coffeemaker off to soak.  
5. Allow the Coffeemaker to remain off for at least 15  
minutes to soften the deposits.  
6. Turn the Coffeemaker on again to brew the remaining  
cleaning solution into the Carafe.  
7. Turn the Coffeemaker off; discard the cleaning  
solution.  
8. Use the carafe to refill the Reservoir with cold water  
to the TOP FILL line, replace the empty Basket, Filter,  
Carafe, and Lid.  
9. Turn on the Coffeemaker for a complete brew cycle  
to flush out the remaining cleaning solution.  
10. Wash the Filter Basket, Permanent Filter, Carafe, and  
Lid as instructed in “Cleaning Your Coffeemaker.”

ELECTRICAL CORD  
The cord length of this Drip Coffeemaker was  
selected to reduce safety hazards that may  
occur with a longer cord. If more cord length is  
needed, an extension cord with a polarized plug  
may be used. It should be rated not less than 10  
amperes, 120 Volts, and have Underwriters  
Laboratories (in USA) or CSA (in Canada) listing.  
When using a longer cord, be sure it does not  
drape over a working area or dangle where it  
could be pulled on or tripped over. Handle cord  
carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or strain-  
ing it at outlet and appliance connections.  
SERVICE OR REPAIR

Company-Owned or Authorized Service Center

If mailing or shipping your Coffeemaker, be sure
