Other Consumer Safety Information
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 highwattage appliance on the same circuit with your BrewStation

Press ON. Turn OFF after 20 seconds and wait 30 minutes. Press ON. Turn OFF when finished. When cool, dispense several cups before emptying and rinsing reservoir.

NOTE: Coffeemaker will remind you it is time for cleaning in two ways:
- Built-in cycle timer—Every 30 cycles, CLEAN will flash in display and stay illuminated for 2 cycles.

Coffee leaks from dispenser	Coffee grounds trapped in coffee tank dispensing mechanism under seal in coffee tank. See "Cleaning with Vinegar."
"CLEAN" appears in display	This is a reminder to clean coffeemaker. See "Cleaning with Vinegar."
Coffee tastes bad	Coffeemaker needs cleaning. Coffee ground too coarsely or too finely. Set coffee grinder to automatic drip grind. Coffee-to-water ratio unbalanced. Adjust for personal preference. Poor water quality. Use water filter or bottled water to make coffee. For iced coffee, too much ice in tank causing too long extraction time for grounds. Make sure ice is not above the 10-cup marking line.
Coffee not brewing or stops brewing/unit will not turn on.	Mineral deposits have built up. Clean the coffeemaker following "Cleaning with Vinegar." Water reservoir is empty. Unit is unplugged. Power outage or power surge. If surge, unplug; then plug back in.
Coffee brews slowly	Coffeemaker needs cleaning. Clean at least every 30 days to maintain proper performance. Coffeemaker is in the 1–4 CUPS or BOLD modes. Press BREW OPTIONS button until no lights appear.
Coffee overflows basket	Excessive amounts of coffee grounds. Coffee ground too finely. Set coffee grinder to automatic drip grind. More than one paper filter in filter basket. Poor quality paper filter or wrong size paper filter.
Coffee is cold when dispensed (when not using ICED COFFEE setting).	Selected Keep Warm hours have elapsed and coffeemaker has automatically shut off. See "To Reheat Coffee" instructions, or brew new cycle.
