DESCALE

After using the coffee maker for a while, limescale will begin to build up inside the machine. It is important to descale the appliance every 2-3 months. If the coffee maker is used daily, the descaling process should be done monthly.

NOTE: If the stains remain, mix 1 cup water, 1 cup vinegar and ¼ cup of baking soda and allow it to sit in the carafe overnight.

CORD AND PLUG SAFETY

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least equal to the electrical rating of the appliance; and
2. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

ELECTRICAL POLARIZED PLUG

This unit has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, the plug is intended to be used by inserting it into the electrical outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit securely into the outlet, reverse the plug and re-insert. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician for assistance. Do not modify the plug in any way.
