Scalding may occur by open the water tank lid during the brewing.

NOTE:

• Once the coffee maker starts the brewing it will remain on until the brewing cycle is complete. To interrupt or stop the brewing, disconnect the plug from the electrical outlet.
• Do not touch the warming plate as it is hot!
• Do not touch the lid during brewing.
• After brewing cycle is complete, wait a minimum of 10 minutes before taking out the filter basket to avoid any injury from hot steam.
• Make sure the filter is secured back in place before beginning to operate your coffeemaker.

AFTER USE:

1. When the last drop has dripped out of the filter, the mug can be removed from the base.

BREWING THE SECOND MUG OF COFFEE:
Allow the coffeemaker to completely cool down (about three minutes) after the indicator light turns off. Rinse the mug and the mesh filter with water. Repeat the brewing procedure.

The water placed in the water reservoir may overheat if the coffeemaker does not cool down completely before reuse. This can cause steam to escape, resulting in a risk of burns and/or personal injury.
NOTE: Attempting to start another brewing cycle before the coffee maker cools down completely may result in an incomplete cycle. The unit employs a thermal reset switch to prevent overheating and may shut down.
