CARE AND MAINTENANCE

NOTICE: Attempting to start another brewing cycle before the
Coffeemaker cools may result in an incomplete cycle; the unit employs a
thermal reset switch to prevent overheating and may shut down.
Hints for Great-Tasting Coffee:
• Always use fresh, cold water.
• For stronger or milder coffee, increase or decrease the amount of coffee
grounds to suit your taste.
• Finer coffee grinds, such as Drip and Automatic Drip Coffeemaker (ADC)
coffee grounds, promote a full extraction of flavor and a rich, full-bodied
coffee.
• Store unused coffee grounds in a
cool, dry place. After opening a package of
coffee grounds, tightly reseal it and store it
in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
• For optimum coffee taste, buy
whole coffee beans and finely grind them
just before brewing.
• Do not reuse coffee grounds; this
greatly reduces the coffee's flavor.
• Reheating coffee is not recommended as coffee is at its peak flavor
immediately after brewing.
• A clean Coffeemaker is essential for making great-tasting coffee. Clean
regularly as specified in the "Care and Maintenance" section.
• Prevent an oily buildup: A small amount of oil on the surface of brewed
coffee is due to the release of oil from roasted coffee beans. Heavily-roasted
coffee beans release more oil than others. Regularly cleaning your
Coffeemaker will prevent an oily buildup.
WARNING: Always unplug the Power Cord from the electrical outlet and
allow the product to cool completely before cleaning or storing.
Cleaning:
• The Mug, Mug Lid, and Filter Basket may be placed on the upper rack of
a dishwasher for cleaning or hand washed in warm, soapy water. The Reusable
Mesh Filter must be washed by hand.
NOTE: When washed in a dishwasher, the parts may appear to fade.
Restore by polishing them with a soft, dry cloth.
• Wipe the exterior surface of the Coffeemaker with a soft, damp cloth.
Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.
