Brewing (Continued)
IMPORTANT: If not allowed to cool before immediate repeated
use, water placed in water chamber may become overheated. A
spray of steam could be released from openings, creating a risk
of burns.
Helpful Hints for Brewing
• The markings on the water level indicator reflect the quantity of
fresh water. The quantity of brewed coffee is less because the
coffee grounds absorb water.
• The carafe will keep coffee warm longer if it is completely full. If
the carafe is only half full, the hot coffee will cool down faster.
• Rinse the inside of the carafe with cool water, then fill with
precooled iced drink.
• Tea leaves may be placed in the filter if you wish to make hot tea
instead of coffee.
• Never use hot or carbonated water. This will damage the appliance.
• Never pour milk, liquid coffee, tea, etc. into the water chamber.
Care and Cleaning
1. Make sure coffeemaker is in the OFF position O (top of
switch pushed in); the indicator light will be off.
2. Unplug and allow to cool completely before cleaning.
3. Open swing out filter basket and use handle to lift out
removable liner. Discard coffee grounds and paper filter. Do
not immerse thermal lid and carafe. Wash inside of carafe
with warm sudsy water, rinse and dry. Wash and dry
remaining removable parts, (except charcoal filter). Replace
liner by fitting notch and handle in groove of filter basket. Do
not use cleaning agents or wire bottle brushes to clean the
inside of the thermal carafe. Mineral deposits can be
removed from the coffeemaker and the carafe by following
the “DESCALING” instructions.
4. Clean the outside of the coffeemaker with a damp cloth.
CAUTION: DO NOT IMMERSE CORD, PLUG OR
COFFEEMAKER UNIT OR THERMAL LID AND CARAFE IN
WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
The life of your coffeemaker will be longer if you replace the
charcoal filter as recommended, after 60 uses or 6 weeks.
