A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from entanglement or
tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power supply cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detacahable power cord or
extension cord is used (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) the longer cord should
be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or table top where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. The electrical rating of the appli-
ance is listed on the bottom of the unit. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the
extension cord should be a grounded type 3 wire cord. This appliance has a polarized
plug. One blade is wider than the other. To reduce the risk of electrical shock this plug
will fit in a polarized plug only one way. If the plug does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT RE-
MOVE THE BOTTOM COVER. NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REPAIRS
SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
CAUTION: DO NOT IMMERSE UNIT IN LIQUID.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Carefully unpack your coffee maker and remove all packaging material. Remove any
labels or stickers from the coffee maker. To remove any dust that may have accumu-
lated during packaging, you may wipe the unit with a clean, damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.
Do not immerse the coffee maker in water or other liquid. Clean the carafe, carafe lid,
filter basket and filter in warm water with mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do
not use harsh or abrasive cleaners. (See “Cleaning Your Coffee Maker” section of this
manual for detailed instructions.)
NOTE: We recommend that prior to brewing your first pot of coffee, operate the coffee
maker once or twice with water only, without ground coffee. This will remove any dust
that may have settled inside the coffee maker, which may affect the flavor of the
coffee. IMPORTANT: Use cold water only. The automatic drip system works best with
cold water.
