SPECIAL CORD SET
INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce
the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long extension cord is used, the marked electri-
cal rating of the extension cord must be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and
the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over.
NOTICE:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
IMPORTANT UNPACKING
INSTRUCTIONS
Place the box on a large sturdy flat surface. Lift the
topmost cardboard insert from the box. The top of
the coffeemaker will be visible. Turn the box so that
the back side of the coffeemaker is down and slide
the coffeemaker from the box. After the coffeemake
r
has been removed, place the box out of the way
and, with one hand on the cardboard insert which
protects the carafe, turn the coffeemaker upright.
Carefully remove the cardboard carafe insert by
placing one hand on the carafe to hold it in place,
and gently sliding the insert away from the
coffeemaker, grasp the carafe by its handle, remove
it from the heater plate and remove the polybag.
Lift the coffeemaker from the cardboard tray, and
remove the polybag covering the coffeemaker. We
suggest you save all packing materials in the event
that future shipping of the machine is needed. Keep
all plastic bags away from children.

THE COFFEE BAR
FLAVOR SYSTEM
All coffee has the rich aromatic flavors we
associate with a great cup of coffee, as well as the
acidic, bitter flavors we associate with a bad cup.
Commercial brewers have discovered that the
“good” and “bad” flavors wash out of the grounds
at a different rate, with the good flavors washing out
faster than the bad. The trick is to use only enough
water to wash out the good flavors and leave the
bad behind. The relatively small amount of water
needed to do this leaves a very strong cup of
coffee, so it is necessary to add some water to
bring it to a pleasant strength.
The Coffee Bar™ Flavor System does the work
for you. Using the proportions and grind recom-
mended on page 5, simply set the flavor system dial
for the number of cups you intend to brew. The
Coffee Bar™ Flavor System automatically meters
the correct amount of water through the grounds
and directs the rest of the water into the carafe.
