COFFEE BREWING TIPS
• Stir coffee in carafe before serving to evenly distribute the flavor.
• Coffee that is poured during brewing cycle may vary in strength from the finished brew.
• Not sure how much coffee to use? Begin by using 1 level tablespoon of medium grind
coffee for each cup of coffee to be brewed.
• For variety, add a 2-inch piece of lemon or orange peel to the coffee grounds before brewing.
• For a special occasion, whip some heavy cream with 1 or 2 tablespoons of hazel nut,
chocolate or almond liqueur. Use to top off each cup of coffee.
• Add a 2-inch piece of vanilla bean to the sugar bowl. You'll be surprised at how good it tastes.
• Keep your coffeemaker scrupulously clean; you will be pleased with the flavor.

MINERAL DEPOSITS AND CLOGGING
Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your coffeemaker. Cleaning is recommended every
3 months.
1. Pour white vinegar into the water reservoir up to the 6-cup level on the water window. Add
cold water up to the 10-cup line.
2. Put a paper filter in the filter basket and close the cover. Set the empty carafe on the keep hot
carafe plate.
3. Turn on the coffeemaker and let half the cleaning solution brew into the carafe (until water
level goes down to around "5"). Turn off the coffeemaker and let it soak for at least 15
minutes to soften the deposits.
4. Turn on the coffeemaker and brew the remaining cleaning solution into the carafe.
5. Turn off the coffeemaker; empty the carafe and discard the paper filter.
6. Fill the reservoir with cold water to the 10-cup line, replace the empty carafe and then turn
on the coffeemaker for a complete brew cycle to flush out the remaining cleaning solution.
You may have to repeat this to eliminate the vinegar smell/taste.
7. Wash the filter basket and carafe as instructed in CLEANING.
CARAFE CARE
A damaged carafe may result in possible burns from a hot liquid. To avoid breaking:
• Do not allow all liquid to evaporate from the carafe while on the "Keep Hot" plate or heat the
carafe when empty.
