IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and/or injury to persons, including the following: 1. To protect against electric shock, do not place cord, plug, or base unit in water or other liquids. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance. [. . . ] Heater Plate Control Knob For controlling the temperature of the coffee after brewing. Hour and Minute Buttons For use in setting hour and minute for time of day, auto on time, and auto off time. 1-4 Cup Setting For brewing smaller pots of coffee ­ it provides `double' heating of the water, so coffee is piping hot. 1. Function Knob For setting time of day, and auto on and auto off times. Auto On The Auto On feature is used to program the start time of the brew cycle. The "PM" indicator is displayed on the LCD for nighttime program times. Auto Off The Auto Off feature is used to shut off the coffeemaker at a preset time, anywhere from 0 to 4 hours. Program Set The Program Set function is used to set the time for the Auto On function. NOTE: To reactivate the auto-on feature to start brew cycle at the same time another day, simply lift and release the FLIP SWITCH. Program the coffeemaker to shut off from zero to four hours after brew cycle is finished by using the "Hour" and "Minute" push-buttons. (see "To set the time") Decalcification: Decalcification refers to the removal of calcium deposits which form over time on the metal parts of the coffeemaker. For best performance from your Brew CentralTM Coffeemaker, decalcify the base unit from time to time. The frequency depends upon the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the coffeemaker. The flashing Self Clean light will indicate when you should clean your coffeemaker. Self Cleaning: If the Self Clean light begins to flash when the coffeemaker is turned on, it is telling you that the calcium buildup is interfering with the functioning of your coffeemaker and the flavor of your coffee. To clean, fill the water reservoir to capacity with a mixture of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water. When the self clean light glows, turn the coffeemaker on by pressing the flip switch to ON. When the cycle is completed and the five beeps sound, the coffeemaker will shut off. Turn the coffeemaker 6 ON to see if the Self Clean light continues to flash. If it does, turn it to OFF and then repeat the cleaning procedure with a fresh solution of vinegar and water. If the Self Clean light no longer flashes, turn the coffeemaker to OFF and then run one cycle of fresh cold water through the unit before using the unit again to brew coffee. Notes on the Self Clean Function Pressing the Self Clean button cancels all other settings. [. . . ] To clean base, simply wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry before storing. Fingerprints and other blemishes on the stainless steel housing can be washed off with soap and water or a nonabrasive cleaning solution. Never use rough, abrasive materials or cleansers to clean the warming 8 plate. Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.
