MAINTENANCE
Always turn coffeemaker off and remove
the plug from the electrical outlet before

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.

Do not use any scouring agents or harsh
cleansers on any part of the coffeemaker.

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 towards 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.
