Coffee Maker or allow AC cord to come into contact with water or
other liquids.
1. After carefully unpacking from carton, the inside of your Coffee

Dry all parts thoroughly.
Hints For Best Results
• We recommend using coffee which has been ground specifically
for automatic drip coffee makers. This type of coffee is prepared
specifically for your Coffee Maker's brewing system and promotes
fuller extraction to provide rich, full-bodied coff e e .
• Use only cone-shaped filters with this Coffee Maker. Cone-shaped
paper filters are available locally at grocery stores. Use standard,
#4 filters. Do not use basket-style paper filters.
• A clean Coffee Maker is essential for making great tasting
coffee. Regular cleaning, as specified in the User Maintenance
Instructions, is highly recommended.
• Always use fresh, cold water in your Coffee Maker.
• For optimal holding temperature, rinse the inside of thermal
carafe with warm water before brewing; empty and screw lid
to closed position. Place carafe securely onto coff e e m a k e r.
