Coffee Maker
Features
Patented top heating ele-
ment — This heating element, not
found in other drip coffee makers,
reheats the water just before it
reaches the coffee grounds. This
assures the water is at the perfect
temperature to maximize the ex-
traction of beneficial flavors for
a full, rich brew. And it speeds
brewing — 10 cups in about 8
minutes.
Advanced technology keep-
warm element — After brewing,
this element heats the carafe to
keep the brewed coffee serv-
ing hot. While most other drip
coffee makers use a keep-warm
element that cycles on and off,
this unit uses a special Positive
Temperature Coefficient (PTC)
heater. It stays on continually
and automatically varies its watt-
age as necessary to maintain the
optimum serving temperature and preserve the coffee flavor.
Pause and serve — This feature temporarily holds brewed coffee in the filter basket when the carafe is removed, so you can
pour a cup of coffee before the entire pot is brewed.
Automatic shut-off — The Presto ® Coffee Maker will keep your coffee warm for 2 hours after it is brewed, then it will
automatically turn off.
Programmable digital clock/timer —This timer allows you to preset the desired brewing time up to 24 hours in advance.
Easy-to-see water level indicator — To assure accurate filling, as you pour water into the tank, you will notice a little red
ball will rise to indicate the exact water level.
Before First Use
To assure proper operation, read and follow the instructions
carefully.
Wash the carafe, carafe lid, and removable filter basket (Fig. A)
in the dishwasher (top rack) or wash in warm, sudsy water and
rinse thoroughly. When placing carafe in the dishwasher, be sure
there is enough clearance to avoid breakage.
To remove the filter basket, you will first need to open the filter
basket holder. Do this by placing one hand on the top of the water
ElECTRICAl CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An
extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rat-
ing of the appliance. The extension cord should be arrranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
Polarized Plug: As a safety feature, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will
only fit in a polarized outlet one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
