SHORT CORD PURPOSE

Note: A short power cord is provided  to reduce the risk of personal injury  resulting from becoming entangled in or  tripping over a long cord. 

Longer power-supply cords or  extension cords may be used if care  is exercised in their use.

If an extension cord is used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product; (2) the extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.

POLARIZED PLUG

If this appliance is equipped with a  polarized plug (one blade is wider than  the other), please follow the below  instructions:

To reduce the risk of electrical shock,  this plug is intended to fit into a  polarized outlet only one way. If you  are unable to fit the plug into the  electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.

If the plug still does not fit, contact a  qualified electrician. Never use the plug  with an extension cord unless the plug  can be fully inserted into the extension  cord. Do not alter the plug of the  product or any extension cord being  used with this product. Do not attempt  to defeat the safety purpose of the  polarized plug.

HOW TO USE

NOTE:

• Never leave the empty carafe on the warming plate when coffee maker is on. Otherwise the carafe is liable to crack.
• To stop brewing, turn the switch off at any time.
• Do not touch the warming plate as it is hot!
• Do not touch the lid during brewing.
• After brewing cycle is complete, wait a minimum of 10 minutes before taking out the filter basket to avoid any injury from hot steam.
• Make sure the filter is secured back in place before beginning to operate your coffeemaker.

1. Make sure all parts are dry and that the unit is not plugged into an electrical outlet while filling with water and coffee grounds.
2. Open the lid (2) and take out the filter basket (14). Put your desired amount of ground coffee into the filter and distribute it evenly.
3. Reinstall the filter basket (14) and swing the water dispenser (3) clockwise so it’s above the filter basket (14).
4. Pour in your desired amount of cold water into the water tank (4).
5. Put the carafe (10) with the lid closed onto the warming plate (8); the lid of the carafe pushes the drip stop valve (13) and opens the drip hole.
6. Plug the coffee maker into an electric outlet and switch to ON (6).
7. After a few minutes hot coffee drips into the carafe through the drip hole.

PAUSE ‘N SERVE FEATURE: 

During the middle of brewing process, you can pause the cycle  by simply removing the carafe out of the coffee maker to sneak a cup of coffee. The drip stop valve will pause the brewing  cycle and keep coffee from dripping into the carafe.

CAUTION:
Use extreme care when handling the Carafe after use as it will be very hot!

AFTER USE: 

1. When the last drop has dripped out of the filter, the carafe  can be removed from the warming plate; the drip stop  valve goes back automatically and closes the drip hole.
2. Put the carafe with the remaining coffee back on the  warming plate to keep the coffee warm.
3. DO NOT OPEN THE LID WHILE THE COFFEE MAKER IS IN  OPERATION AS THIS COULD LEAD TO PERSONAL INJURY.
4. Switch the appliance off and unplug from the electrical  outlet.
5. The indicator light will turn off.
6. Clean the filter by removing the coffee filter and the  remaining coffee grounds.
7. If more coffee is required, please switch off the appliance  first. After cooling the appliance for 5 minutes, you can  begin to brew again.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE 

NOTE:

• Always use care to prevent damaging the filter mesh.
• Make sure the filter is secured back in place before beginning to operate your coffeemaker.
• Do not dry inside of water tank with a cloth as lint may remain.

CAUTION:
Never immerse the entire coffee maker in water or any other liquid!

Proper maintenance will ensure years of service of your  appliance. Clean the appliance after every use following these steps:

2. Clean the housing and warming plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never immerse the unit in water or wash it directly in water.
3. Remove carafe, permanent filter and the filter basket from the coffee maker.
