SAVE THESE INSTRUCTION

This appliance is intended for household use only.

Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet. The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over. To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

To avoid contact with hot coffee or water:

• Do not use more than 14 ounces (414 ml) of water.
• Fill single-serve reservoir with mug or cup into which the coffee will be brewed.
• Fully insert mug or cup under filter basket.

Tips for Best-Tasting Coffee

• All coffees are made from either arabica beans or robusta beans, or some combination of both. Arabica beans are slightly more expensive, but tend to produce better-tasting coffee.
• Ground coffee will become stale much faster than whole beans. If buying preground coffee, choose a package with the latest expiration date or a smaller quantity.
• If grinding whole beans, set your coffee grinder on a fine/medium grind. This will yield the best-tasting grounds. Try to use freshly ground coffee within about a week of grinding.
• Using a water filter, filtered water, or bottled water will yield better-tasting coffee than tap water.
• Use approximately 1 Tablespoon of grounds for each cup of coffee being made. To avoid overflow, use slightly less grounds (3/4 Tablespoon [11.1 ml]) when brewing decaf or flavored coffees. Also, be aware that using coffee that is ground too finely may also cause the filter basket to overflow.
• Make sure your coffeemaker is clean. See "Care and Cleaning" sections.

Pour 1/2 cup (118 ml) of plain white vinegar and 1/2 cup (118 ml) of cold water into single-serve side reservoir.

Press I (ON) button. Press O (OFF) button after 30 seconds and wait 30 minutes. Press I (ON) button. Press O (OFF) button when finished.

Run 2–3 more brew cycles with CLEAN WATER only. Allow to cool between cycles.

DO NOT use the "SANI" setting when washing in the dishwasher. "SANI" cycle temperatures could damage your product.
