with warm water before brewing; empty and make sure Carafe Lid is  
properly secured onto Carafe. Place Carafe securely onto coffee maker.  
Press the ON/ OFF button. The ON LED will illuminate as the coffee

To Start Brewing Coffee  
at the Programmed Time

Carafe Lid on the Carafe when pouring the coffee.  
IMPORTANT: When using the Auto  
Pause and Pour Feature while the

CARE AND CLEANING (CONT.)  
4. Mineral deposits can be removed from the coffee maker by  
following the "Descaling" instructions. No parts should be cleaned  
in a dishwasher.  
5. Clean the outside of the coffee maker with a damp cloth.  
CAUTION: Do not immerse cord, plug, or coffee maker unit  
water or other liquid.  
DESCALING  
We recommend that you descale your coffee maker once a month  
because mineral deposits can form a coating in the coffee maker,  
causing slower brewing time and possibly an off flavor in the coffee.  
Use a cleaner recommended for coffee makers. To descale your unit:  
1. Place a paper filter into the Removable Filter Basket. Make sure  
the Removable Filter Basket fits securely so Coffee Maker Lid  
closes properly (Lid will snap into place).  
2. Fill Carafe with one part white vinegar to three parts cold water.  
Pour the water and vinegar solution into the Water Reservoir.  
3. Place the empty Thermal Carafe with Lid on the Base Plate. Plug  
the coffee maker into an outlet and switch the coffee maker ON.  
4. Keep the coffee maker ON until the Thermal Carafe is half full.  
(At 4 cup mark on Water Level Indicator.) Switch the coffee  
maker OFF and let cool for 1/ 2 hour.  
5. After 1/ 2 hour, pour the water and vinegar solution back into the  
coffee maker.  
6. Place an empty Thermal Carafe with Lid on the Base Plate.  
Switch the coffee maker ON and let all the water and vinegar  
solution flow through.  
7. Discard the solution and paper filter.  
8. After allowing the coffee maker to cool for 15 minutes, flush out  
all the traces of vinegar by pouring a Carafe full of cold water  
into the Water Reservoir. Make sure to insert a fresh filter into  
the Filter Basket before brewing and place the empty Thermal  
Carafe with Lid on the Base Plate. Switch the coffee maker ON  
and allow it to cycle through.  
9. At the end of the brew cycle, the coffee maker will automatically  
shut off. Discard water in the Thermal Carafe. Repeat steps 8-9.  
Unplug the coffee maker when finished.
