Notes on the cord plug  
This appliance has a polarized plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a  
polarized outlet only in one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still  
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.  
Notes on the cord:  
A. A shorter power-supply cord (or detached power-supply cord) is provided to reduce the risk  
resulting from being entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.  
B. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care  
is exercised in their use.  
C. If a long detachable power-supply cords or extension cord is used:  
1. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord should  
be at least equal or great than the electrical rating of the appliance.  
2. If the appliance is a grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire  
cord.  
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table  
top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
Making Coffee  
1. Open the top cover of coffee maker and fill in the appropriate amount water into the  
tank with the carafe. The water level should not exceed the MAX level.  
2. Place the funnel into the funnel support and make sure it is assembled correctly. Insert  
and position the filter correctly.

ground coffee, but you may adjust according to your taste.

7. Do not open the tank cover when brewing is in progress. The flow back of hot water will  
damage the appliance.  
8. You can remove the carafe, pour and serve when finished brewing (about one minute  
after the coffee stops dripping).  
Note: The volume of brewed coffee will be less than the water filled initially since ground  
coffee absorbs some water. For Safety, keep the carafe lid closed.  
9. Always turn OFF the coffee maker before unplugging the power cord from the electrical  
outlet and when the coffee maker is not in use.  
Note: Be cautious when pouring the hot coffee.

Automatic Start Function  
Automatic Start Function is used by programming the brew start time in advance. For example,  
if the current time is 8:10 AM, you may program the appliance to start brewing at 1:00 PM. At  
1:00 PM, the green light “AUTO” will turn off, and the red light “RUN” will be illuminated for  
automatically starting the appliance. The coffee can be kept warm after brewing. If the coffee  
maker is unattended for 2 hours, the appliance will power off automatically.  
First follow the operating instruction steps 1 to 5, and set the automatic start function as the  
following.  
1. Press “PROG” button, then LCD will display “CLOCK”.  
2. Set the current time by pressing the “HOUR” and “MIN” (see Fig. 1)  
Note: The time cycle is 24 hours. Set the desired time by using the “HOUR”  
and “MIN” buttons.  
3. Press “PROG” button again, then LCD will display “TIMER.” Set the  
automatic start time by pressing the “HOUR” and “MIN” buttons. (Fig. 2)  
4. Press “ON/OFF” twice, then the green light “AUTO” will be illuminated  
after about 10 seconds. LCD will display the current time, you may see the  
automatic start time by pressing “PROG.”  
Note: You may cancel the automatic start function by pressing “ON/OFF” button. If you  
want to change the automatic start time, repeat steps 1 to 3.  
HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE  
1. A clean coffee maker is essential for making great-tasting coffee. Regularly clean the  
coffee maker as specified in the “CARE AND MAINTENANCE” section. Always use fresh,  
cold water in the coffee maker.  
2. Store unused coffee grounds in a cool, dry place. After opening a package of coffee  
grounds, reseal tightly and store it in a refrigerator to maintain its freshness.  
3. For optimum coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and finely grind them just before  
brewing.  
4. Do not reuse coffee grounds since this will greatly reduce the coffee flavor. Reheating  
the coffee is not recommended as the coffee flavor peaks immediately after brewing.  
5. Clean the coffee maker when over-extraction causes oiliness. Small oil droplets on the  
surface of brewed, black coffee are due to the extraction of oil from the coffee grounds.  
6. Oiliness may occur more often if heavily roasted coffee beans are used.

4. Use a soft and damp cloth to gently wipe the warming plate. Never use abrasive  
material to clean the appliance.  
CLEANING MINERAL DEPOSITS
