Before Your First Use 
 
Carefully unpack the coffee maker and remove all packaging materials. Wipe the 
heating stand with a clean, damp cloth. Do not immerse the heating stand in 
water or other liquid. To remove any dust that may have accumulated on the 
removable parts during packaging, wash the carafe, lid and filter basket with 
warm soapy water. Rinse and dry. We recommend that prior to brewing your first 
pot of coffee, you “brew” just the cold water without ground coffee or a paper 
filter. This will remove any dust that may have settled inside the coffee maker.
