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.

and brew it through as instructed in BREWING COFFEE, but do not add
coffee grounds. When done, turn the Coffeemaker off and discard the
water from the Carafe.
BREWING COFFEE

and close the Cover.

SNEAK-A-CUP
The Sneak-a-Cup® Interrupt Feature lets you pour a cup of coffee before
brewing is done. There is an automatic drip stop that lets you remove the
Carafe to "sneak-a cup" without leaking from the Filter Basket.
NOTE: The Carafe must be replaced under the Filter Basket within
one minute to prevent the Basket from overflowing.
SETTING THE CLOCK/TIMER & AUTO BREWING
When you plug in the unit, the clock will flash 12:00 a.m. until the correct
time is set. The Coffeemaker will work without setting the clock.

little dot in the top left corner of
the display that indicates "p.m."
time. Press the MINUTES
button to set the correct

2. To set the auto on time: press the PROGRAM button and the light
under the AUTO ON button will start flashing indicating it is being
programmed. Press the HOUR, then MINUTES buttons to set the time
you’d like coffee to automatically begin brewing (for example 7:15
a.m.). Watch for the "p.m." indicator dot at the top left of the digital
display. When you’re done, press the AUTO ON button. The AUTO ON
light will stop flashing and remain on to show the timer is activated.

with a light flashing under AUTO ON. When the light stops flashing,
the clock will return to the current time of day. Press AUTO ON to
reactivate the timer. To automatically brew coffee again at the same
pre-set auto-on time the next day, prepare your Coffeemaker for
brewing again and press the AUTO ON button.

dishwasher-safe; or they may be hand washed
in hot, sudsy water.
• The Coffeemaker’s exterior, Control Panel
area and “Keeps Hot” plate may be cleaned
with a soft damp cloth or sponge. Do not

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 Hot” Plate.

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.”
