6. Power unit on
Turn the function knob to Brew, press the
On/Off button, and the red indicator light will
turn on. Or, set the Auto On function (see
page 7) and the Auto On indicator will light.
7. After brewing is complete
When the brewing cycle has been completed,
five beeps will sound. Coffee will continue to
stream from the filter for several seconds.
NOTE: Reservoir cover may be hot during
and directly after brewing. Wait at least 10
minutes before opening.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Always turn coffeemaker off and remove the
plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
Lift up the reservoir cover. Remove and discard
the paper filter and ground coffee. The filter
basket can be washed in warm, soapy water
and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper
rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts after use.
Do not put any water in the unit once the
filter basket has been removed. Wipe the
area under the filter basket with a damp
cloth.
Remove the carafe from the heating plate.
Discard any remaining coffee. The carafe and lid
can be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed
thoroughly, or placed in a dishwasher. The
carafe and carafe lid should be placed on the
upper rack only.
Helpful Hint: Coffee contains oils that can
build up on your carafe. For best performance,
wash carafe and wipe pour spout clean after
each use.
Do not use any scouring agents or harsh
cleansers on any part of the coffeemaker.
Never immerse base unit in water or other
liquids. To clean base, simply wipe with a clean,
damp cloth and dry before storing. Fingerprints
and other blemishes on the glass housing can
be washed off with soap and water or a
nonabrasive cleaning solution. Wipe resting
plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough,
abrasive materials or cleansers to clean the
resting plate. Do not dry the inside of the water
reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.
DECALCIFICATION
Decalcification refers to the removal of calcium
deposits that form over time on the metal parts
of the coffeemaker.
For best performance from your coffeemaker,
decalcify the base unit from time to time. The
frequency depends upon the hardness of your
tap water and how often you use the
coffeemaker. The flashing Clean light will
indicate when you should clean your
coffeemaker.
NOTE: Before decalcifying your
coffeemaker, remember to remove the
charcoal water filter from the water filter
holder located in the water reservoir.
To decalcify, fill the water reservoir
to capacity with a mixture of
1
/3 white vinegar
and
2
/3 water. Press the Clean button. When the
Clean light glows, turn the coffeemaker on by
pressing the On/Off button. The Clean light will
shine steadily. The coffeemaker is now in Clean
mode. One cycle should be sufficient to
adequately clean the coffeemaker. When the
cycle is completed and the five beeps sound,
the coffeemaker will shut off. Turn the
coffeemaker on to see if the Clean light
continues to flash. If it does, turn it off and then
repeat the cleaning procedure with a fresh
solution of vinegar and water.
If the Clean light no longer flashes, turn the
coffeemaker off and then run one cycle of fresh
cold water through the unit before using the unit
again to brew coffee.
Notes on the Clean Function
Pressing the Clean button cancels all other
settings. If it is pressed accidentally, press it
again to return the coffeemaker to all its
previous settings. Pressing On/Off will also exit
the Clean mode and turn the coffeemaker off.
BREW PAUSE
FEATURE
This feature interrupts the flow of coffee from the
basket to let you pour that first cup mid-brew.
Because the flavor profile of coffee brewed at the
start of a cycle differs from that brewed toward
the end, be aware that using this feature will
weaken the flavor strength of the finished pot.
NOTE: Removing carafe for more than 20
seconds may cause filter basket to overflow.
