SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
POLARIZED PLUG  
This appliance has a polarized plug—one blade is wider than the other. As  
a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the  
plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it and try again. If it still does  
not fit, contact an electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.  
SOFT-GRIP HANDLES  
NOTE: The rubberized handles are free of natural rubber and latex. They  
are safe for use by individuals allergic or sensitive to these materials.  
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW  
This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant 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 authorized service personnel.  
ELECTRICAL CORD  
The cord length of this 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  
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 straining it at outlet  
and appliance connections.  
WARNING  
RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK. DO NOT OPEN.  
The lightning symbol refers to “dangerous voltage;” the exclamation symbol  
refers to maintenance instructions. See below.  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove the cover of  
the coffeemaker. There are no user-servicable parts inside. Repair should be done  
by authorized service personnel only.

CARING FOR YOUR CARAFE  
A damaged Carafe may result in possible  
burns from a hot liquid. To avoid breaking:  
Do not allow all liquid to evaporate from the Carafe while on the “Keeps  
Hot” plate or heat the Carafe when empty.  
Discard the Carafe if chipped, cracked, or damaged in any manner.  
Never use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers, they will scratch and  
weaken the glass.  
Do not place the Carafe on or near a gas or electric burner, in a heated  
oven, or in a microwave oven.  
Avoid rough handling and sharp blows.  
NOTE: TO ORDER A REPLACEMENT OR ADDITIONAL CARAFE, CALL  
1-800-258-6003.  
MINERAL DEPOSITS AND CLOGGING  
Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your Coffeemaker. Excessive  
steaming or a prolonged brewing cycle are signs that a cleaning is  
needed. The frequency of flushing out deposits is affected by your usage  
and water hardness. During cleaning, more steaming occurs than when  
brewing coffee and there may be some spitting.  
1. Pour white vinegar into the Water Reservoir up to the 4-cup level on  
the Water Window. Add cold water up to the 10-cup mark.  
2. Put a paper filter in the Filter Basket and close the Cover. Set the  
empty Carafe on the “Keeps HotPlate.

3. Turn the Coffeemaker on and let half the cleaning solution brew into the  
Carafe (till water level goes down to around 2). Turn the Coffeemaker  
off and let it soak for at least 15 minutes to soften the deposits.  
4. Turn the Coffeemaker on and brew the remaining cleaning solution  
into the Carafe.  
5. Turn the Coffeemaker off; empty the Carafe and discard the soiled filter.  
6. Fill the Reservoir with cold water to the 10-cup line, replace the empty  
Carafe, then turn on the Coffeemaker for a complete brew cycle to flush  
out the remaining cleaning solution. You may have to repeat this to  
eliminate the vinegar smell/taste.  
7. Wash the Filter Basket and Carafe as instructed in “Cleaning  
Your Coffeemaker.”
