Before Using
Your Coffeemaker
Caution: Unplug from outlet. Turn switch to off position O.
Important: Never place the thermal carafe on a hot stove or in a
microwave. Avoid extreme temperature changes from hot to cold
or vice versa in the thermal carafe. That is, do not fill the carafe
with cold water when it is still hot. Never put your hand into the
thermal glass carafe nor let it stand in water. Do not unscrew the
carafe.
Become familiar with parts of the unit; see figures 1 and 2. The
illustrations in this guide are for information purposes only. You
may find your coffeemaker looks different; however, the steps for
operation are the same.
Follow instructions for cleaning. See "CARE AND CLEANING."
Insert charcoal water filter; see "WATER FILTER." Fill the
coffeemaker with the maximum amount of water and turn the unit
on. Follow procedures for "BREWING" (without coffee). Unplug
coffeemaker and discard the water. Wait 10 minutes to allow
heating elements to cool. Repeat the process one more time.
Caution: Do not immerse cord, plug, coffeemaker unit or thermal
carafe and lid in water or other liquid.
Water Filter
This unit features an optional charcoal water filter to provide
optimum taste and removal of most of the chlorine from tap water,
along with other metals and particles often found in tap water. To
insert the charcoal filter, remove the lid of the water chamber. Take
the water chamber by the handle and lift directly up and out. Turn
filter holder counter clockwise until it releases. Place charcoal
filter in water filter holder, aligning arrow on chamber with tab on
holder. Push up and turn clockwise, (see figure 2). Reposition
chamber in coffeemaker aligning tabs on chamber and grooves in
coffeemaker; replace lid. The water will be filtered when poured
either directly through the water chamber or through the frontal
water fill. Filters should be replaced either after 60 uses or 6 weeks
(whichever occurs first) and can be ordered directly from the
Consumer Relations Department by calling toll-free
1-800-947-3744 or 1-800-947-3745.
