5
Important Things You Should Know
• The
SPEED
BREW™ coffeemaker is designed to remain plugged in at all times
(except during draining and extended periods of non-use). Brewing begins after
water is poured into the water reservoir.
• A Reservoir Power Switch (ON/OFF switch) is located on the lower left side to com-
pletely shut off all electrical components when your plans take you away from home
for several days or when your coffeemaker will not be in use for an extended period.
Your
SPEED
BREW ™ coffeemaker has safety features which make the daily use of
this switch unnecessary.
• Whenever the
SPEED
BREW ™ Reservoir Power Switch has been turned OFF, or
the unit unplugged, allow the water in the tank to heat to the proper temperature
before using. (This will take approximately 15 minutes after the Reservoir Power
Switch has been turned on).
• Your
SPEED
BREW ™ coffeemaker unit has an especially designed water reservoir
to keep the water at the proper temperature. This constant supply of hot water
allows you to brew regular coffee in about 3 minutes.
• When a pitcher of cold water is poured into the water reservoir, the cold water enters
the internal tank and pushes out hot water to start the brewing process. This cold
water is then heated to the proper temperature and stored until the next brew cycle is
started. Make sure the decanter is on the warmer plate before water is added.
• Brewed coffee flows into the decanter where it is kept at serving temperature by the
warmer plate. The warmer plate is controlled by the ON/OFF switch located above
the brew basket. NOTE: The Warmer Plate Switch only controls the decanter
warmer. The warmer plate switch should be turned off when the decanter is empty
or the coffeemaker is not in use. (For the Warmer Plate Switch to operate, the
Reservoir Power Switch must be on.)
• The decanter lid reduces coffee evaporation and heat loss. Always place the lid
on the decanter when brewing coffee.
• The two position Regular/Decaffeinated Brew Control Dial is located behind the
water reservoir lid. This allows for proper brewing of regular or decaffeinated coffee.
Decaffeinated coffee takes longer to brew than regular coffee.
• WARNING: To avoid risk of scalding or other injury, do not move your
SPEED
BREW ™ coffeemaker once you have filled the water reservoir.
