A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. 2. An extension cord may be purchased and used if care is exercised in its use. 3. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least 10 amps and 120 volts. The resulting extended cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way. THIS COFFEEMAKER IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY 3 IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using electrical appliances, to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

Wash decanter, lid and removable filter basket in mild detergent and water. Rinse each thoroughly. Follow Steps 4 through 6 below (with water only) to clean the inside of your coffeemaker. Brewing Coffee 1. Slide the filter basket open and insert a MR. COFFEE® paper filter into the inner filter basket. 2. Add desired amount of coffee according to the coffee measurement chart found below. Shake lightly to level coffee. 3. Be sure the paper filter is properly centered before sliding the filter basket into place. SUGGESTED COFFEE MEASUREMENT For the best results, use level tablespoons (Tbsp.) of drip grind, recommended for automatic drip coffeemakers. Remember to use more or less coffee to suit your taste. TO BREW 10 8 6 4 2 Cups Cups Cups Cups Cups USE THIS MUCH COFFEE 9 Tbsp. or 4-1/2 scoops 7 Tbsp. or 3-1/2 scoops 6 Tbsp. or 3 scoops 4 Tbsp. or 2 scoops 2 Tbsp. or 1 scoop Hints: 2 level tablespoons equals 1 level scoop. One cup equals 5 oz. brewed coffee. 6 4. Fill the decanter with tap water to desired capacity as marked on the side of the decanter. (1 cup equals 5 ounces) To brew 2 cups of coffee, fill the decanter to the middle of the silver band. For easy and accurate filling, a line marking can be found inside the reservoir that represents the 10 cup mark. 5. Pour the water into the water reservoir. Place the empty decanter onto the warming plate. 6. Turn your coffeemaker switch ON. When coffee stops flowing, the brewing cycle is complete. 7. Carefully remove the filter basket and discard the used grounds and filter. Rinse the filter basket and replace. 8. To make another pot of coffee, repeat Steps 1 through 7. 9. Be sure to turn your coffeemaker OFF when the decanter is empty and you are no longer using your coffeemaker. Unplug the power cord when not using the coffeemaker. WARNING To avoid risk of personal injury or damage to property as a result of overflow, be sure that the decanter is squarely centered under the brew basket during brewing cycle. Brewed coffee and grounds, both in brew basket and decanter, are very hot. Handle with care to avoid scalding. If brew basket overflows, or if brew basket fails to drain into decanter during brew cycle, do not open or handle basket. Unplug coffeemaker, and wait for contents to cool before handling! CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS Your coffeemaker must be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive steaming or the brewing time increases considerably. This condition is caused by a buildup of lime and mineral deposits from your water. If the pumping action stops before all the water has been pumped out of the machine, then the appliance requires cleaning. The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of water used. The following table gives the suggested cleaning intervals. 7 SUGGESTED CLEANING INTERVAL Type of Water Soft Water Hard Water Cleaning Frequency Every 80 Brew Cycles Every 40 Brew Cycles 1. Pour one quart of undiluted white household vinegar into your coffeemaker. 2. Place a paper filter into the filter basket and slide the filter basket into place. 3. Place the empty decanter on the warming plate and turn the coffeemaker ON. When three cups have flowed through, turn the coffeemaker OFF and let stand for 1/2 hour. 4. After 1/2 hour, pour the vinegar back into the coffeemaker. 5. Place the empty decanter on the warming plate. Turn the coffeemaker ON and let all of the vinegar flow through. 6. Discard the vinegar and the paper filter. 7. To flush out all traces of vinegar, pour a decanter full of tap water into the coffeemaker, turn it ON, and allow it all to cycle through. 8. Discard the water and turn the coffeemaker OFF. Repeat Steps 7 and 8. DECANTER CLEANING Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the decanter. Coffee and tea discolor these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain inside the decanter. To remove these stains, follow these simple steps: 1. Use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and hot water. 2. Let solution stand in decanter for about 20 minutes and then discard. 3. Wash and rinse the decanter thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners. These may cause scratches which can lead to breakage. DECANTER 8 AND LID ARE TOP-RACK DISHWASHER SAFE 1-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY Sunbeam Products, Inc.
