IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS 15. The glass carafe is designed for use with this coffeemaker only. It must never be used on the range top. 16. Do not set a hot carafe on a wet or cold surface. When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be taken to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and/or injury to persons, including the following: 17. Do not use a cracked carafe or a carafe having a loose or weakened handle. 18.
WARNING: RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK NOTICE This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

BEFORE BREWING YOUR FIRST POT OF COFFEE PROGRAMMING YOUR COFFEEMAKER Rinsing your coffeemaker: During the manufacturing process, dust can get trapped in the unit. We recommend flushing out the system before brewing your first pot of coffee. Simply fill the reservoir, power on the unit, and follow steps 1, 3 and 5 on page 8 under MAKING COFFEE. Do not add coffee.
SETTING THE AUTO-OFF TIME 1. Turn Function knob to Auto Off. The digital display will flash the programmed Auto Off default (2:00) or previously selected time. Follow directions under SETTING THE CLOCK to program coffeemaker to shut off from 0 to 4 hours after brew cycle is finished. NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 15 tablespoons for this coffeemaker. Exceeding this amount may cause overflow if the coffee is too finely ground. 2.
DECALCIFICATION BREW PAUSE™ FEATURE This feature interrupts the flow of coffee from the basket to let you pour that first cup mid-brew. Because the flavor profile of coffee brewed at the start of a cycle differs from that brewed toward the end, be aware that using this feature will weaken the flavor strength of the finished pot. Decalcification refers to the removal of calcium deposits that form over time on the metal parts of your coffeemaker.
