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:

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

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.
