Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to
fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in
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.
Short Cord Instructions
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in
their use.
If an extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the
cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance, and (2) the cord should be arranged so that
it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
Electric Power
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your
appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a
separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

Operating Instructions
Before First Use (cont.)
4. Clean the inside of the Coffeemaker by brewing two full carafes of
tap water (see "Brewing Instructions" below). Do not use coffee for
this initial cleaning. Note: at the end of first cycle, turn
Coffeemaker off and wait ten minutes. Turn unit on and brew
second carafe of fresh water.
Coffee Filters
Cone-shaped paper filters are available locally at grocery stores and
where Coffeemakers are sold. Standard #4 filters should be used.
The use of basket-style paper filters is not recommended, since they
do not conform to the shape of the Filter Basket and may cause
coffee to back up and spill over during brewing.
Hints For Great Tasting Coffee
A clean Coffeemaker is essential for making great tasting coffee.
Regular cleaning, as specified in "Care and Cleaning of your
Coffeemaker" on page 10 is highly recommended.
Always use fresh, cold water in your Coffeemaker.
Finer grinds, such as drip and ADC coffee, promote fuller extraction
and provide rich, full-bodied coffee. Regular grind will require slightly
more coffee per cup to provide the strength of a finer grind.
Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened,
keep it tightly sealed in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
For optimum coffee, buy whole beans and grind them finely just
before brewing.
Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair coffee flavor.
Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor
immediately after brewing.
Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed, black coffee is due to the
extraction of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more
frequently if heavily roasted coffees are used. Overextraction may also
cause oiliness, indicating a need to clean your Coffeemaker.

Brewing Coffee Instructions
1. Be sure Power Select Button is in the “OFF” position.
2. Plug Coffeemaker into any 120 Volt, AC electrical outlet.
3. Fill Glass Carafe with cold tap water to the correct line indicating
the desired number of cups. Markings on the Glass Carafe indicate
level of water required to brew desired number of cups. No less
than two cups is recommended.
4. Lift the Water Reservoir Cover and carefully pour into Water
Chamber. Close Cover.
Note: The amount of brewed coffee will always be less than the
amount of water placed into Coffeemaker, since about 10% is
absorbed by coffee grounds and filter.
5. Place a #4 paper cone-shaped filter or permanent filter in the
Removable Filter Basket. Measure one level tablespoon of drip or
regular grind coffee for each cup of coffee desired. For stronger
or milder coffee, adjust amount of coffee to suit your taste.
6. Return Filter Holder to closed position.
7. Place Glass Carafe on Warming Plate.
8. Switch Power Select Button to ON. (For model TCM12CD with
electronic timer and automatic shut-off, see important instructions
on page 8). The Power light will indicate unit is in operation.
9. If you wish to serve a cup of coffee before brew cycle is
completed, simply remove Glass Carafe from Warming Plate.
Dripping will automatically cease. Return Glass Carafe to position
on Warming Plate within 20 seconds; dripping will resume.
NOTE: Make sure that the Carafe is replaced under the Filter
Basket within one minute to prevent overflow.
10. Upon completion of the brew cycle, wait about one minute until
the brew dripping from the Filter Holder into the Glass Carafe
has stopped. Carafe Lid should be kept in place to facilitate safe
serving and help keep coffee at proper serving temperature.
11. To keep coffee hot, return Glass Carafe to the Warming Plate after
serving. The Warming Plate will automatically cycle to maintain
ideal serving temperature as long as the Coffeemaker is on.

Brewing Coffee Instructions (cont.)
12. Switch Coffeemaker to OFF when Glass Carafe is empty or when
unit is not in use. (Models TCM12CD and TCM12CDCAN have
automatic shut-off and will automatically shut off after two hours
from start of brew cycle).
13. To brew another Glass Carafe of coffee, turn unit off and wait
10 minutes to allow heating element to cool. Important: If unit is
not allowed to cool before immediate repeated use, water placed
in Water Chamber may become overheated and a spray of steam
could be released from opening, creating a risk of burns.
Pause And Pour Feature
1. After approximately 2 cups of coffee have been brewed the
Carafe may be slowly removed and the coffee will stop dripping.
2. The flow valve is located on the bottom of the Filter Holder and
is activated when the Carafe is removed. The design makes it
possible for you to remove the Carafe and pour a cup of coffee
before the entire pot is brewed.
3. When using this feature, make sure that the Carafe is replaced
under the Filter Holder within 20 seconds to prevent overflow.
Brewing A Second Pot Of Coffee
As mentioned above, it is recommended that the Coffeemaker should
be in OFF position for 10 minutes between cycles, in order to allow
unit to cool. While unit is in OFF position, dispose of used coffee
filter, and rinse Glass Carafe and Removable Filter Basket in water.
Place a fresh filter in Filter Basket. Repeat brewing procedure.
1. To brew a second pot of coffee, turn the Coffeemaker off and
allow it to cool. Empty used coffee grounds and repeat steps for
brewing coffee.
CAUTION: Failure to allow Coffeemaker to cool may cause water to
overheat and spray hot steam. The hot steam can cause severe burns.

User Maintenance Instructions
Care And Cleaning
Always make sure Coffeemaker is unplugged and in the OFF position and
Warming Plate is cool before attempting to clean. After daily use, the Filter
Basket and Glass Carafe should be washed in hot, sudsy water. Wipe exterior
with a damp cloth to remove superficial stains. For stubborn stains, use a
nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleanser, such as Bon Ami® or Arm
& Hammer®. Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.
Descaling
Special cleaning of your Coffeemaker is recommended at least once a
month, depending on frequency of use and quality of water used in the
unit. If water in your area is especially hard, the following cleaning
procedure should be performed every two weeks, since minerals in water
can detract from the flavor of the coffee and possibly lengthen brew time.
1. Fill Glass Carafe with one part white vinegar to three parts cold
water. Pour water and vinegar solution into the Water Chamber.
2. Place a paper filter or permanent filter in the Removable Filter Basket
and swing to closed position. Place Glass Carafe on Warming Plate.
Switch Power Select Button to ON. During cleaning, more steam will
occur than during normal brewing.
3. KEEP THE COFFEEMAKER ON UNTIL CARAFE IS HALF FULL.
Switch Power Select Button to OFF. When liquid stops dripping from
Filter Holder into the Glass Carafe, remove the Basket and Glass
Carafe and allow liquid to cool in the Glass Carafe for 10 minutes.
When cooled, pour liquid back into the Water Chamber.
4. Replace Basket and return Glass Carafe to hot plate.
5. Switch Power Select Button to ON. Repeat procedure, allowing all
the cleaning solution to empty into the Glass Carafe. After
dripping has stopped, discard contents of Glass Carafe.
6. After allowing Coffeemaker to cool for 10 minutes, rinse it out by
brewing a Glass Carafe full of cold water. Make sure to insert a
fresh Filter into the Filter Basket before brewing.
7. At end of brew cycle, switch Power Select Button to OFF. Discard
water in the Glass Carafe. Remove used filter and wash Glass Carafe
and Filter Basket in hot sudsy water. Dry parts.
8. When Coffeemaker has cooled, wipe exterior with a dry cloth.
