CLEANING YOUR COFFEEMAKER
CAUTION:
Always make sure Coffeemaker is unplugged
before attempting to clean it. To protect against electric shock,
do not immerse cord, plug or unit in water or other liquids
.
The outside of your Coffeemaker can be cleaned by wiping the surface with a damp,
soft cloth.
IMPORTANT:
Never immerse the Coffeemaker in water or other
liquids
.
When cleaning the Carafe, DO NOT put your hands inside the Stainless Steel Carafe
Clean your Stainless Steel Carafe by rinsing it with warm soapy water.
The Stainless Steel Carafe Lid and Removable Filter Basket may be washed with
warm soapy water or placed in the top rack of the dishwasher. Do not place any other
parts of the Coffeemaker in the dishwasher.
Rinse the Removable Filter Basket thoroughly after every use to
ensure trouble-free
operation.
Do not clean the inside of the Water Reservoir with a cloth as the cloth may have a
lint residue that could clog the Coffeemaker.
For stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleaner. Do not
use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.
Stainless Steel Carafe is NOT dishwasher safe, hand wash only.
DECALCIFYING YOUR COFFEEMAKER
Calcium deposits may build up in the Coffeemaker as a result of minerals commonly
found in drinking water. The build-up is normal and may result in longer brewing
times. This slow down can be eliminated by periodically decalcifying the Coffeemaker.
We recommend decalcifying your unit with Gevalia Cleancaf Cleaner & Descaler.
Nontoxic, biodegradable and odorless Cleancaf is a quick and easy way to keep
Coffeemakers clean, fresh and odor free. Use bi-monthly to remove or prevent oil
residue and mineral buildup. You can order Cleancaf by calling 1-800-GEVALIA
(1-800-438-2542) or visiting us at
www.gevalia.com
.
A solution of two tablespoons of white vinegar to one carafe of cold water may also
be used to decalcify. Pour the solution into the Water Reservoir, and then close the
Hinged Reservoir Lid. Place the Stainless Steel Carafe securely on the Carafe
Holding Plate and allow the Coffeemaker to brew the vinegar solution. Once it has
finished brewing, empty the Stainless Steel Carafe and rinse it out with cold water.
Refill the Water Reservoir with cold water only and run another new cycle to remove
any remaining residue.

time, you must then set the unit to AUTO. To do this, push the ON/AUTO/OFF button
twice until the red AUTO light illuminates. AUTO will appear in the display.
6. When the unit is brewing, the green ON light will illuminate. After the cycle is
complete, the brewer will automatically shut off.
7. To manually shut off the Coffeemaker, push the ON/AUTO//OFF button twice.
All lights must be off.
NOTE:
If you are setting the unit to start brewing automatically, be sure that the unit is
filled with water, the Filter Basket Holder is securely closed, and that the Carafe is
sitting securely on the Carafe Holding Plate.
CAUTION:
After the brewing cycle is completed, there still will be HOT liquid in the Removable
Filter Basket. Always turn off the unit and wait at least 30 minutes after the brewing
cycle is completed before opening the filter basket lid and emptying the Removable
Filter Basket.
TO BREW A SECOND POT
1. Turn the unit off.
2. Wait 30 minutes.
3.
Follow steps in “OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS”(above).
HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE:
A clean Coffeemaker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regular
cleaning, as specified in CLEANING YOUR COFFEEMAKER, is highly
recommended.
Always use fresh, cold filtered or bottled water in your Coffeemaker.
Fine grind coffee (such as Gevalia) promotes fuller extraction and provides a
rich, full-tasting coffee..
Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep it
tightly sealed in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain its freshness.
For optimum coffee flavor, buy whole beans and grind them just before
brewing.
Do not re-use coffee grounds as this will lessen the coffee flavor.
Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor
immediately after brewing.
Small oil droplets on the surface of the brewed coffee is due to the extraction
of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily
roasted coffee is used. Heavy use may also cause an increase in oil
deposits, indicating a need to clean your Coffeemaker more frequently.

SAFETY FEATURES
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from
entanglement or tripping over a longer cord.
2. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use.
3. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should
be arranged so that it does not drape over the counter or table-top where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. The electrical rating of the
Coffeemaker is listed on the bottom panel of the unit.
As a safety feature, this appliance has a polarized alternating current plug (one blade is
wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not insert fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
Do not
attempt to defeat this safety feature.

Coffeemaker into a 120 volt 60 Hz AC outlet.
2. Fill the Water Reservoir. Swing the Filter Basket Holder outward to your left
and insert a No. 4 Gevalia cone shaped paper filter into the Removable Filter
Basket. Place the desired amount of ground coffee into the paper filter. Brew
Gevalia Kaffe with the coffee/water ratio you normally use when you prepare

see how much water is inside it. Do not exceed the MAX Fill Line indicated on the Water
Reservoir.
NOTE:
There is an Overflow Hole in the back of the Water Reservoir to prevent
exceeding the capacity of the Coffeemaker. If you add too much water, it will
drip out from the back of the unit.
The amount of brewed coffee after the brewing process will always be slightly

FEATURES
Pause & Serve:
Allows you to interrupt the brewing cycle and pour a cup of
coffee before the entire brewing cycle is completed.
CAUTION:
While this will temporarily stop the coffee from dripping into the Stainless
Steel Carafe, it does not stop the brewing cycle. After serving, the
Stainless Steel Carafe should be immediately returned to the Carafe
Holding Plate to prevent the Filter Basket from overflowing. Do not
remove the Carafe for more than 30 seconds as the Filter Basket may
overflow.
CAUTION:
If the Carafe is not fully seated on the Carafe Holding Plate, the Pause &
Serve feature will not function properly. This could cause hot water or hot
coffee to overflow.
The lid must be on top of the Carafe in order to engage the Pause & Serve
Feature and allow the coffee to drip. Please make sure that the Stainless
Steel Carafe is securely in place and positioned firmly on the Carafe
Holding Plate.

HOW TO USE YOUR COFFEEMAKER
PREPARING YOUR COFFEEMAKER FOR USE:
Carefully unpack the Coffeemaker and remove all packing materials.
Before making coffee in your Coffeemaker, thoroughly clean your Stainless Steel
Carafe, Carafe Lid and Filter Basket with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry. Do
not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.
You may wipe the Carafe Holding Plate with a clean damp cloth, however, do not
immerse the Coffeemaker in water or other liquids.
Note:
Prior to brewing your first pot of Gevalia coffee, we recommend that you run one
brew cycle through the Coffeemaker using cold water only, without ground coffee or a
paper filter. This will remove any dust that may have settled inside the Coffeemaker.
