4-Cup Coffee Maker Use and Care Guide
Coffee Filters
Cone-shaped paper filters are available locally at grocery stores and
where coffee makers are sold. Standard #2 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.
Before You Use Your Coffee Maker
Before preparing coffee in your new Coffee Maker, thoroughly clean
the Carafe, Carafe Lid and Removable Cone Filter Basket in hot, sudsy
water. Rinse and dry. Replace disassembled parts. Clean the inside
of the Coffee Maker by brewing two full Carafes of tap water (see
“Brewing Instructions” below).
NOTE: At the end of first cycle, turn Coffee Maker off and wait ten
minutes. Turn unit on and brew second Carafe of water.
Brewing Instructions
1. Plug Coffee Maker into any 120 V AC electrical outlet.
2. Fill Carafe with cold tap water and pour into Water Chamber.
Markings on the Carafe indicate level of water required to brew
desired number of cups. No less than two cups is recommended.
NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee will always be less than the
amount of water placed into Coffee Maker, since about 10% is
absorbed by coffee grounds and paper filter.
3. Place a #2 paper cone-shaped filter in Removable Cone Filter
Basket. Replace Removable Cone Filter Basket in the Swing-Out
Filter Holder. Measure one level tablespoon of drip or regular
grind coffee for each cup of coffee desired. For stronger or milder
coffee, adjust amount of coffee to suit your taste.
4. Return Swing-Out Filter Holder to the closed position.
5. Place Carafe on Warming Plate.
6. Switch Power Select Button to ON (I).
5.
Brewing Instructions (Cont.)
7. If you wish to serve a cup of coffee before brew cycle is completed,
simply remove Carafe from Warming Plate. Dripping will automat-
ically cease. Return Carafe to position on Warming Plate within 20
seconds; dripping will resume.
8. Upon completion of the brew cycle, wait about one minute until
the brew dripping from the Filter Holder into the Carafe has
stopped. Carafe Lid should be kept in place to facilitate safe
serving and help keep coffee at proper serving temperature.
9. To keep coffee hot, return Carafe to the Warming Plate after serv-
ing. The Warming Plate will automatically cycle to maintain ideal
serving temperature as long as the Coffee Maker is ON.
10. Switch Coffee Maker to OFF (O) when Carafe is empty or when
unit is not in use.
11. To brew another Carafe of coffee, turn unit OFF and wait 10
minutes to allow heating element to cool.
IMPORTANT: If unit is not allowed to cool before immediate repeat-
ed use, water placed in Water Chamber may become overheated and
a spray of steam could be released from opening, creating a risk
of burns.
Brewing a Second Pot of Coffee
As mentioned above, it is recommended that the Coffee Maker should
be in OFF (O) position for 10 minutes between cycles, in order to
allow unit to cool. While unit is in OFF position, rinse Carafe in water
and dispose of filter and coffee grounds.
Repeat brewing procedure.
Hints for Great Tasting Coffee
ꢀ
A clean Coffee Maker is essential for making great tasting coffee.
Regular cleaning, as specified in “Care and Cleaning” section on
page 7–8 is highly recommended.
ꢀ
Always use fresh, cold water in your Coffee Maker.
6.
4-Cup Coffee Maker Use and Care Guide
ꢀ
Finer grinds, such as drip and ADC coffee, promote fuller extrac-
tion 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 finely 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. Overextraction
may also cause oiliness, indicating a need to clean your Coffee
Maker.
User Maintenance Instructions
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user
serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing
requiring disassembly must be performed by a qualified appliance
repair technician.
Care and Cleaning
Always make sure Coffee Maker is unplugged and Warming Plate is
cool before attempting to clean. After daily use, the Carafe should be
washed in hot, sudsy water. Wipe exterior with a damp cloth to remove
superficial stains. For stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad. Do
not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.
Special cleaning of your Coffee Maker 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.

Care and Cleaning (Cont.)
1. Fill Carafe with one part white vinegar to three parts cold water.

2. Place a clean #2 paper filter in the Removable Cone Filter Basket.

Holder and swing to closed position. Place Carafe on Warming
Plate. Switch Power Select Button to ON (I). During cleaning,

3. KEEP THE COFFEE MAKER ON UNTIL CARAFE IS HALF
FULL. Switch Power Select Button to OFF (O). When liquid stops

and Carafe and allow liquid to cool in the Carafe for 10 minutes.
When cooled, pour liquid back into the Water Chamber.
4. Replace basket and return Carafe to Warming Plate.
5. Switch Power Select Button to ON (I). Repeat procedure, allowing
all the cleaning solution to empty into the Carafe. After dripping
has stopped, discard contents of Carafe.
6. After allowing Coffee Maker to cool for 10 minutes, rinse it out by
brewing a Carafe full of cold water. Make sure to insert a clean #2
paper filter into the Filter Basket before brewing.
