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.

SPECIAL CARE FOR YOUR CARAFES
A damaged carafe may result in possible burns from hot liquid. To avoid
breaking the carafes:
1) Do not allow liquid to evaporate from carafe. Do not heat carafe when empty.
2) Discard carafe if damaged in any manner. A chip or crack could result in breakage
or contaminate liquid contents.
3) Never use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers as the may scratch or weaken the
carafe.
4) Do not place carafe on or near a hot gas or electric burner, in a heated oven, or in a
microwave.
