Carafe Safety Precautions

1. Do not use a cracked carafe or any carafe with a loose or weakened handle.
2. This carafe is designed to be used only on the keep warm plate of your Coffee Maker. Do not use in a
conventional oven or on a stovetop.
3. To avoid breakage, handle carafe with care. Avoid impact. Glass will break as a result of impact. Use care
when filling with water to avoid hitting faucet.
4. Do not place hot carafe on cool or wet surface. Allow carafe to cool before washing or adding liquids.
5. Do not set empty carafe on a hot heating surface. Do not clean with steel wool pads, abrasive cleanser,
or any other materials that may scratch.
6. Do not bump or scratch the carafe. Remove carafe from the keep warm plate to avoid burning
or scorching. Never operate the Coffee Maker with a carafe that has boiled dry.
7. Discard carafe if it is cracked, scratched, or heated while empty for an extended period of time.
8. Coffee Yield 12 Cup Coffee Maker: 12 (~4-5 oz.) cups
NOTE: A ~4-5 oz. cup is the American industry standard and is used by most Coffee Maker manufacturers.
To fill your favorite over-sized mug, fill Coffee Maker reservoir with enough water for 3 to 4 cups.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE THE BOTTOM
COVER. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REPAIR SHOULD BE DONE BY AUTHORIZED SERVICE
PERSONNEL ONLY.

Permanent Coffee Filter Basket

The permanent coffee filter basket takes the place of disposable paper filters. Simply place the permanent
coffee filter basket into the removable filter basket holder. Unfold and use handle to lift basket of used coffee
grounds up and out of the Coffee Maker; fold handle down to close the water reservoir lid.

Before Using For The First Time

CAUTION: To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the Coffee Maker or allow power cord to come into
contact with water or other liquids.
1. Remove all packing material and labels from the inside and outside of the Coffee Maker. Place the unit on
a flat, clean surface.
2. Before preparing coffee, thoroughly clean the glass carafe and lid, removable filter holder and permanent
coffee filter in hot, sudsy water. Rinse and dry. Replace disassembled parts. See Care & Cleaning
Instructions for a detailed description.
3. Clean the inside of the Coffee Maker by brewing 2 full carafes of water (see Brewing Coffee Instructions).
Do not add the permanent coffee filter or ground coffee for this initial cleaning.
NOTE: At the end of the first cycle, allow 15 minutes for the unit to cool.
4. Brew a second carafe of fresh water.
5. Wait an additional 15 minutes to allow the unit to cool before brewing your first carafe of coffee.

Brewing Coffee Instructions

1. Lift to open the Coffee Maker lid. Fill carafe with cold water and pour into water reservoir at the back of
the unit. The water level indicator can be easily viewed inside unit.
IMPORTANT: Before brewing, always check to make sure water level is past the 4 Cup line and add water if
needed. Never exceed the MAX fill line.
NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee will always be less than the amount of water placed into the water
reservoir; as much as 10% is absorbed by coffee grounds and filter.
2. Place empty carafe on the warming plate.
3. Place the permanent filter in the removable filter holder. Measure 1 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.
4. Drop the filter holder down into the housing. Close the lid.
5. Plug Coffee Maker into a 120V AC electrical wall outlet.
6. Set the switch to the ON (–) position. The Coffee Maker will begin the brew cycle.
NOTE: To interrupt the brewing cycle at any time, set the switch to OFF (O). Remove plug from wall outlet.
