Operating Instructions
Before First Use
WARNING: To reduce risk of fire or
electric shock, do not immerse Cord, Plug
or appliance in water or any other liquid.
1. Before preparing coffee in your new
coffeemaker, thoroughly clean the
Carafe, Carafe Lid and Removable
Filter Basket in warm, soapy water.
Rinse and dry. Replace disassembled
parts.
Figure 1
5
Note: The Removable Filter Basket must be placed into the coffeemaker with the
two handles, located on the sides of the Filter Basket, aligning with the two
notches on the inside of the unit (see Figure 1 on previous page). Press the Filter
Basket down until it clicks into place.
2. Clean the inside of the coffeemaker by brewing two full Carafes of tap water
(see Brewing Instructions). Do not place a filter or coffee in the Removable
Filter Basket for this initial cleaning.
Note: At the end of the first brewing cycle, turn the Coffeemaker off and wait ten
minutes for the appliance to cool. Turn unit on and brew second Carafe of cool
water.
Coffee Filters
Cone-shaped paper filters are available locally at grocery stores and where
coffeemakers are sold. We recommend using Melitta #4 cone-shaped filters.
Permanent gold filters may also be purchased, eliminating the need for disposable
paper filters.
The use of basket-style paper filters is not recommended, since they do not
conform to the shape of the Removable Filter Basket and may cause coffee to
back up and spill over during brewing.
Brewing Instructions
Note: The display on the clock will flash when you plug in the unit. You may set
the clock at any time (see “Setting The Clock”) before or after brewing. Setting the
clock will not affect normal brewing operation.
1. Place the Coffeemaker on a flat, level surface. Plug the unit into a 120V, AC
electrical outlet.
2. Open the Lid by using the lip located on top of the Coffeemaker.
3. Place a #4 cone-shaped paper filter into the Removable Filter Basket. Measure
one level tablespoon of drip or regular ground coffee for each cup of coffee
desired. For stronger or milder coffee, adjust amount of grounds to suit your
taste.
Note: We recommend using coffee ground specifically for automatic drip
coffeemakers.
4. Fill the Carafe with cold water and pour it into the Water Reservoir (see callout
on page 4) to the desired level. No less than two cups are recommended.
Place the Carafe on the Warming Plate.
Important: Always use fresh, cool water in your appliance. Warm water or other
liquids, except as listed in the Care and Cleaning Instructions, may cause
damage to the appliance.
Note: The amount of brewed coffee will always be less than the amount of
water placed into the coffeemaker, since about 10% is absorbed by the coffee
grounds and filter.

5. Close the Lid.
6. In order to turn unit on, press the ON/OFF Button. The Red “ON” light will
illuminate and the word “ON” will appear in the upper right hand corner of the
LCD indicating that the brewing cycle has begun. Hot water will be dispensed
gently and evenly through the coffee grounds.
Note: If you prefer to use the Timer to pre-set the Coffeemaker, see the Using
the Timer Control section.
7. To pour a cup of coffee before the brew cycle is complete, simply remove the
Carafe from the Warming Plate and pour (see “Drip Stop Feature”). Brewing
will continue but dripping will automatically pause. Return the Carafe to the
Warming Plate within 1 minute; dripping will resume.
CAUTION: To prevent injury when utilizing Drip Stop feature, replace Carafe
within 1 minute of removing during brewing process.
8. Upon completion of the brew cycle, wait until dripping has stopped before
removing the Carafe. The Carafe Lid should be kept in place to facilitate safe
serving.
9. To brew another Carafe of coffee, turn unit OFF and wait 10 minutes to allow
heating element to cool.
Important: If the unit is not allowed to cool before immediate repeated use,
water placed in Water Reservoir may become overheated and a spray of
steam may be released from the opening, creating a risk of burns.
10. When not in use, unplug the Base from the wall outlet. Allow the unit to cool
completely before cleaning (see User Maintenance Instructions).
Drip Stop Feature
The Drip Stop Feature lets you pour a cup of coffee before brewing is complete.
There is an automatic drip stop that allows you to sneak a cup without the brew
basket leaking. Simply remove the Carafe from the Warming Plate. Always keep
the Carafe Lid on the Carafe when pouring the coffee.
Important: When using the Drip Stop Feature while the coffee maker is still
brewing, the Carafe with Lid must be replaced on the Warming Plate, under the
Filter Basket within 1 minute to prevent the Filter Basket from overflowing.
CAUTION: Do not pull out the Filter Basket when using this feature as it is filled
with hot coffee. Be sure the Carafe is placed all the way back into the unit to
continue brewing after sneaking a cup.
Brewing A Second Pot Of Coffee
As mentioned above, it is recommended that the Coffeemaker should be OFF for
10 minutes between cycles, in order to allow unit to cool. While the unit is OFF,
dispose of the used coffee filter and rinse the Carafe and the Removable Filter
Basket in water. Place a fresh filter in the basket. Then repeat the brewing
procedure.

Using the Timer Control
Your Coffeemaker has a built in multifunction Timer. The following sections
describe the proper use of the Timer.
Setting The Clock
To set the clock, simply press the HOUR and MIN Buttons. First press the HOUR
Button until the desired hour has been reached. Make sure the proper “AM/PM”
indicator is shown on the left side of the LCD Display. Press the MIN Button until
the desired minutes have been reached. You may press and hold the HOUR or
MIN Buttons to display the correct time more rapidly.
Note: Unplugging the unit will reset the clock to 12:00.
Auto On Feature
To pre-set your Coffeemaker to begin brewing at a later time, first follow steps 1-5
in the Brewing Instructions section. Check to make sure that the clock is set to the
correct time. If it is not, follow the above instructions to set the clock. Press the
PROGRAM Button once, the LCD Display will flash “PROGRAM”. Press the
HOUR and MIN Buttons until the desired brew time is reached. Make sure the
proper “AM/PM” appears on the left side of the LCD Display. Press the AUTO ON
Button. The green “AUTO” light will illuminate in the upper right corner and the pre-
set brew time will be displayed momentarily, indicating that the Coffeemaker is
now waiting for the pre-set brew time to be reached before it begins the brewing
cycle.
Note: If the AUTO ON Button is pressed during the brewing process, the brewing
will stop and the unit will turn off.
To Cancel Auto On: Press the AUTO ON Button and the green light will shut off.
To re-set the Auto On time so the unit will turn on at the same pre-set time the
next day, press the AUTO ON Button and the green “AUTO” light will illuminate.
Note: The Auto On Feature will turn off after completing the brewing process at
the pre-set brew time. The AUTO ON Button must be pressed after each use in
order for the unit to turn on at the same pre-set time the following day.
Note: In the event of a power outage or if the unit is unplugged, the clock will reset
to 12:00 and the Auto On Feature will have to be reprogrammed.
Brew Strength Feature
Use the Brew Strength Feature when you plan on brewing only a small amount of
coffee. This feature slows down the brewing process so that the smaller amount of
coffee will have the same taste quality as when you brew an entire Carafe.
The Brew Strength Feature can be activated before the unit is turned ON or during
the brewing process by pressing the BREW STRENGTH Button. When this
feature is activated, a coffee cup icon will be displayed in the LCD Display.
Note: To deactivate the Brew Strength Feature, press the BREW STRENGTH
Button again and the coffee cup icon will disappear.

Auto Shut-Off Feature
As an added convenience, your Coffeemaker has been designed with an Auto
Shut-Off Feature. When the brewing cycle is complete, the Coffeemaker will
automatically shut-off after 2 hours.
Hints For Great Tasting Coffee
• A clean Coffeemaker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regular
cleaning, as specified in “User Maintenance Instructions” is highly recommended.
Always use fresh, cool 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.
• Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep it tightly
sealed in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. For optimum coffee, buy whole
beans and grind them just before brewing.
• Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair coffee flavor.
• Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor immediately
after brewing.
• Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed, black coffee is due to the extraction
of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily
roasted coffees are used. Over extraction may also cause oiliness, indicating a
need to clean your Coffeemaker.
User Maintenance Instructions
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user-serviceable parts.
Any servicing requiring disassembly other than cleaning must be performed by a
qualified appliance repair technician.
WARNING: Unplug from wall outlet before cleaning.
Care And Cleaning
1. Always make sure the Coffeemaker is unplugged and the Warming Plate is
cool before attempting to clean.
2. After daily use, the Removable Filter Basket, Carafe and Carafe Lid should be
washed in warm, soapy water.
3. If necessary, wipe the outside of the Coffeemaker with a soft, damp cloth and
wipe dry.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, scouring pads or steel wool. Never immerse
the Coffeemaker in water or any other liquid.
9
Caring For Your Carafe
1. Do not allow all liquid to evaporate from the Carafe while on the Warming Plate,
or heat the Carafe when empty.
2. Discard the Carafe if damaged in any manner.
3. Never use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers; they will scratch the glass.
4. Avoid rough handling and sharp blows.
Descaling
Special cleaning of your Coffeemaker is recommended at least once a month,
depending on frequency of use and quality of water used in the unit. If water in
your area is especially hard, the following cleaning procedure should be performed
every two weeks, since minerals in water can detract from the flavor of the coffee
and possibly lengthen brew time.
1. Fill the Carafe with one part white vinegar to three parts cold water. Pour water
and vinegar solution into the Water Reservoir.
2. Place a paper filter in the Removable Filter Basket then close the Lid. Place the
Carafe on the Warming Plate. Press the ON/OFF Button.
Note: During cleaning, more steam will occur than during normal brewing.
3. KEEP THE COFFEEMAKER ON UNTIL HALF THE WATER HAS CYCLED
THROUGH THE COFFEEMAKER, AS CAN BE VIEWED THROUGH THE
WATER LEVEL INDICATOR. Press the ON/OFF Button to turn the power off.
When liquid stops dripping from the Removable Filter Basket into the Carafe,
remove the Carafe and allow the liquid to cool for 10 minutes. When cooled,
pour liquid back into the Water Reservoir.
4. Return Carafe to the Warming Plate.
5. Turn the Coffeemaker back ON and repeat this procedure, allowing all the
cleaning solution to empty into the Carafe. After dripping has stopped, discard
contents in the Carafe.
6. After allowing the Coffeemaker to cool for 10 minutes, rinse it out by brewing a
Carafe full of cold water. Make sure to insert a fresh filter into the Removable
Filter Basket before brewing.
7. At the end of the brew cycle, turn OFF the unit by pressing the ON/OFF Button.
Discard water in the Carafe. Remove the used filter and wash the Carafe and
Removable Filter Basket in warm, soapy water. Rinse and Dry.
8. When the Coffeemaker has cooled, wipe exterior with a dry cloth.
