KNOW YOUR COFFEE MAKER
FIGURE 1
BEFORE FIRST USE
Place the box on a large, sturdy flat surface. Carefully unpack your coffee maker and
remove all packaging material and literature. Remove any labels or stickers from the
coffee maker. To remove any dust that may have accumulated during packaging, you
may wipe the unit with a clean, damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the coffee
maker in water or other liquid. Clean the carafe, carafe lid, filter basket and filter in
warm water with mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh or
abrasive cleaners. (See “Cleaning Your Coffee Maker” section of this manual for
detailed instructions.) Keep all plastic bags away from children.
NOTE: We recommend that prior to brewing your first pot of coffee, operate the coffee
maker once or twice with water only, without ground coffee. This will remove any dust
that may have settled inside the coffee maker, which may affect the flavor of the
coffee. IMPORTANT: Use cold water only. The automatic drip system works best with
cold water.
