Operating Instructions
Before First Use
CAUTION: To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse
the Coffeemaker or allow AC cord to come into contact with
water or other liquids.
1. Remove all packing material from the inside and outside of
the Coffeemaker.
2. Before preparing coffee in your new Coffeemaker,
thoroughly clean the Glass Carafe, Carafe Lid, Permanent
Filter and Removable Filter Basket in hot, sudsy water. Rinse
and dry.
3. Replace disassembled parts.
4. Clean the inside of the Coffeemaker by brewing two full
carafes of tap water (see “Brewing Coffee Instructions” on
page 6). Do not use coffee for this initial cleaning.
NOTE: at the end of first cycle, turn Coffeemaker off and
wait ten minutes. Turn unit on and brew second carafe of
fresh water.
Coffee Filters
Cone-shaped paper filters are available locally at grocery stores
and where Coffeemakers are sold. Standard #4 filters should be
used. The use of basket-style paper filters is not recommended,
since they do not conform to the shape of the Filter Basket and
may cause coffee to back up and spill over during brewing.
Hints For Great Tasting Coffee
◆ A clean Coffeemaker is essential for making great tasting
coffee. Regular cleaning, as specified in “User Maintenance
Instructions” on page 11 is highly recommended.
◆ Always use fresh, cold water in your Coffeemaker.
◆ Finer grinds, such as drip and ADC coffee, promote fuller
extraction and provide rich, full-bodied coffee. Regular
grind will require slightly more coffee per cup to provide the
strength of a finer grind.
