with lid in “CLOSED” position so coffee
freshness and temperature can be preserved.
NEVER POUR LIQUID FROM
THERMAL CARAFE UNLESS LID IS
IN “CLOSED” POSITION.
CORD STORAGE
A cord storage area is built into the base of the
coffee maker so the desired length of cord can
be used.
PAUSE & SERVE
This feature allows a cup of coffee to be poured
before brew cycle has finished. Carefully remove
thermal carafe, and the Pause & Serve feature will
be automatically activated, temporarily stopping
flow of coffee into thermal carafe. Return thermal
carafe to platform immediately after pouring
coffee, and the brewing process will resume.
IMPORTANT: Carafe must be returned to its
position within 30 seconds to prevent filter basket
from overflowing.
NOTE: Strength of coffee poured mid-cycle may
vary in strength from finished brew.
CAUTION: During brew cycle, basket must be
closed securely since basket in improper position
may cause hot water or coffee to overflow.
PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not place a cloth or otherwise restrict airflow
beneath coffee maker.
2. To avoid accidents, make sure thermal carafe lid
is in “CLOSED” position during brewing and
while pouring; do not pour in the direction
of people.
3. When pouring, use thermal carafe handle only.
4. CAUTION: Burns may result from spilled hot
liquid and/or contact with hot parts.
THERMAL CARAFE
PRECAUTIONS
Your thermal carafe contains a vacuum-sealed
double glass inner liner. Improper use will damage
the liner. Please follow these instructions:
1. Clean inside of carafe with lukewarm water.
Turn carafe upside down to dry.
2. Never clean inside of carafe with a hard
implement, scouring pad or other abrasive
cleaners; rinse only with water. Scratches in
the glass may cause glass liner to weaken and
break over time.
3. Never insert your hand into carafe for cleaning.
A damaged glass liner can cut your hand and
cause serious injuries.
4. Never stir inside of carafe with a spoon or
other utensil.
5. Never fill carafe to the rim. Fill to a maximum
of one inch from the top of liner.
6. Before adding very hot or very cold liquid to
carafe, first rinse with warm or cold water,
depending upon what is being prepared.
Otherwise, sudden temperature change could
damage glass liner.
7. Never use ice cubes in carafe.
8. Never fill carafe with carbonated beverages.
9. Never drink directly from carafe. Always check
beverages for broken glass before drinking.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
