To avoid breaking the carafe: · Do not allow all liquid to evaporate from carafe. Do not heat carafe when empty. · Discard carafe if damaged in any manner. A chip or crack could result in breakage or contaminate liquid contents with glass particles. · Never use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers as they may scratch and weaken the glass. · Do not place carafe on or near a hot gas or electric burner, in a heated oven or in a microwave oven. · Avoid rough handling and sharp blows. BEFORE YOU USE YOUR COFFEEMAKER · Before preparing coffee in your new Sunbeam® coffeemaker for the first time, thoroughly clean the carafe, carafe lid, removable filter basket, the permanent filter and water chamber cover in hot, soapy water. · Rinse and dry. · Replace disassembled parts. · Clean the inside of the coffeemaker by brewing two full carafes of tap water (see `Brewing instructions'). Do not place coffee in filter basket for this initial cleaning. Note: At the end of first cycle, turn coffeemaker off and wait ten minutes. Brew second carafe of water. CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR COFFEEMAKER · Always make sure coffeemaker is unplugged and warming plate is cool before attempting to clean. · After daily use, filter basket and carafe should be washed in hot, soapy water. · Wipe base with a damp cloth to remove superficial stains. · For stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleanser. · Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleansers. Special cleaning of your coffeemaker is recommended at least once a month, depending on frequency of use and quality of water used in the unit. If water in your area is especially hard, the following cleaning procedure should be performed every two weeks, since minerals in water can detract from the flavor of the coffee and possibly lengthen brew time. 1. Fill carafe with one part white vinegar to three parts cold water. Pour water and vinegar solution into the water chamber. 2 2. Place filter without coffee in the basket and swing to closed position. Place carafe on warming plate. Switch control to "On". During cleaning more steam will occur than during normal brewing. 3. KEEP THE COFFEEMAKER ON UNTIL CARAFE IS HALF FULL. Switch control to "Off".

When cooled, pour liquid back into the water chamber. 4. Replace basket and return carafe to hot plate. 5. Switch control to "On". Repeat procedure allowing all the cleaning solution to empty into the carafe. After dripping has stopped discard contents of carafe. 6. After allowing coffeemaker to cool for 10 minutes, rinse it out by brewing without coffee a carafe full of cold water. 7. At end of brew cycle, switch control to "Off". Discard water in the carafe.

HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE · A clean coffeemaker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regular cleaning, as specified in "Care and Cleaning of your Coffeemaker" is highly recommended. · Always use fresh, cold water in your coffeemaker. · Fine ground coffee promotes fuller extraction and provides rich, full-bodied coffee. Regular grind will require slightly more coffee per cup to provide the strength of a finer grind. · Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep it tightly sealed in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. · For optimum coffee, buy whole beans and grind them finely in your Sunbeam Blender just before brewing. · Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair coffee flavor. · Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after brewing. · Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed black coffee are due to the extraction of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffees are used. Over extraction may also cause oiliness indicating a need to clean your coffeemaker. 5 2Year Limited Warranty Sunbeam Products Inc. warrants that, for a period of two years from date of purchase, this product shall be free of mechanical and electrical defects in material and workmanship.
