SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from entanglement or
tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power supply cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power cord or
extension cord is used (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) the longer cord should
be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or table top where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. The electrical rating of the appli-
ance is listed on the bottom of the unit. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the
extension cord should be a grounded type 3 wire cord. This appliance has a polarized
plug. One blade is wider than the other. To reduce the risk of electrical shock this plug
will fit in a polarized plug only one way. If the plug does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Place the box on a large, sturdy flat surface. Carefully unpack your coffee maker and
remove all packaging material and literature. Remove any labels or stickers from the
coffee maker. To remove any dust that may have accumulated during packaging, you
may wipe the unit with a clean, damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not immerse the coffee
maker in water or other liquid. Clean the carafe, carafe lid, filter basket and filter in warm
water with mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh or abrasive
cleaners. (See “Cleaning Your Coffee Maker” section of this manual for detailed in-
structions.) Keep all plastic bags away from children.
NOTE: We recommend that prior to brewing your first pot of coffee, operate the
coffee maker once or twice with water only and without ground coffee or with
just a small amount of ground coffee. This will remove any dust that may have
settled inside the coffee maker, which may affect the flavor of the coffee.
IMPORTANT: Use cold water only. The automatic drip system works best with cold
water.

-11-
OPERATING YOUR COFFEE MAKER
PREPARING COFFEE MAKER FOR BREWING COFFEE:
1. Place the coffee maker on a flat, level surface away from any edge.
2. Plug the unit into a 120V / 60Hz only outlet.
3. The lid of the carafe must be fitted properly during the brewing process. And
the carafe must be set on the non-stick plate.
4. WARNING: The lid of the coffee maker and the filter basket door must be
completely closed during operation. If the filter basket door is not
completely closed, the Pause ‘N Serve feature will not function properly. It
could cause hot water or hot coffee to overflow.
FILLING THE WATER TANK:
5. Open the hinged lid of the water tank, located on top of the coffee maker.
6. Fill the tank with the desired amount of cold water. The water level must be
between the top and bottom cup marks. NOTE: Do not fill above the MAX level.
7. Always use cold water.
NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee after the brewing process is complete will
always be slightly less than the amount of water placed in the coffee maker’s water
tank, since some water is absorbed by the coffee grounds and filter. Add a little
extra water at the beginning so that you have the exact number of cups desired.
PREPARING THE COFFEE:
8. Open the filter holder door by pressing the “OPEN” button on the top of the
machine. Swing the filter holder door to the left. Be sure the filter basket and
filter are properly positioned inside the filter holder. The permanent gold-tone
filter (included) may be used instead of or in addition to a paper filter (not
included). If using paper filters, insert a #4 cone-shaped filter into the filter
basket before filling with coffee.
9. Place the desired amount of ground coffee in the filter. According to coffee
industry standards, use one standard coffee measure (2 level tablespoons) of
grounds for each cup/mug of water. After using your coffee maker several
times, the amount of coffee may be adjusted to suit your particular taste by
decreasing or increasing the amount of coffee used. NOTE: Be sure to use
coffee grounds prepared specifically for use with automatic drip coffee makers.
-12-
OPERATING YOUR COFFEE MAKER
10. Swing the filter door closed until it snaps into place. WARNING: Do not operate
your coffee maker if the door does not close completely. If the door does not
close completely, check to see that the filter basket is properly positioned
inside the filter holder.
11. DC87T Series: Make sure the carafe lid is down.
DC89TTC Series (Figure 4): Secure the lid on the
carafe until it locks into place. Indicators on top of
the lid show how to turn the lid for locked and open
positions. Place the carafe on the non-stick plate.
For brewing, the lid should be completely closed.
12. Plug the unit into an outlet and press the “TIMER
ON/OFF” button once. The “ON/TIMER” indicator
light will illuminate “GREEN”. To begin the brewing
(FIGURE 4)
process, press the “TIMER ON/OFF button once
again and the “ON/TIMER” indicator light will illuminate
“RED”.
13. In a few minutes the coffee maker will complete the brewing cycle. NOTE: To
terminate the brewing process at any time, press the “TIMER ON/OFF button
once and the “ON/TIMER” indicator will no longer be illuminated.
14. NOTE: If you would like a cup of coffee before the full pot is brewed, the Pause
‘N Serve feature allows you to interrupt the brewing process. The brewing
process does not stop during this period; only the flow of coffee from the
basket. Do not remove the carafe for longer than 30 seconds or the
coffee may overflow from the basket stops. While we offer this feature, we
do not recommend you pour the coffee before the cycle has reached comple-
tion, since the coffee brewed at the beginning of the cycle has a flavor which is
very different from the flavor at the end of the cycle. Removing a cup during
the brewing cycle will alter the flavor of the finished pot.
-13-
OPERATING YOUR COFFEE MAKER
15. DC87T Series: The non-stick warming plate ensures that the coffee maintains
the correct temperature after brewing is complete. Once brewing is complete,
the coffee maker will remain on for 2 hours and then automatically shut itself
off.
DC89TTC Series: Coffee will remain hot for up to two hours for those models
with the double-walled thermal carafe. Once brewing is complete, the coffee
maker will automatically shut itself off.
16. The non-stick warming plate (DC87T series only) and thermal carafe
(DC89TTC series only) will keep your coffee hot, but the sooner you drink it,
the better it will taste.
17. DC87T Series: To pour coffee after brewing is complete, remove the carafe
from the non-stick warming plate. Once the desired amount of coffee has been
poured, return the carafe to the non-stick warming plate.
DC89TTC Series (Figure 5): Press the “POUR” button on the top of the
carafe’s handle and tilt the carafe to pour into a cup or
mug.
18. Push the “TIMER ON/OFF” button to turn the unit OFF
when the carafe is empty or when the coffee maker is
not in use. After brewing cycle is complete, discard the
(FIGURE 5)
grounds and rinse the permanent gold-tone filter and
filter basket thoroughly with water. (See “Cleaning
Your Coffee Maker” section of this manual for more details).
19. NOTE: If you have not used the coffee maker in awhile, run one cycle with
water only (without coffee) to clean it out. Fill the water tank to the top cup
when you perform this procedure. WARNING: Never put the carafe in the
microwave.

OPERATING YOUR COFFEE MAKER
HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE
1. A clean coffee maker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regular
cleaning is recommended, as specified in the “Cleaning Your Coffee
Maker” section of this manual.
2. Always use fresh, cold water in your coffee maker.
3. Fine grind coffee promotes fuller extraction and provides rich, full-tasting
coffee. Regular grind will require slightly more coffee grounds per cup to
provide the strength of a finer grind.
4. Store coffee grounds in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened,
keep it tightly sealed in refrigerator to maintain freshness.
5. For optimum coffee, buy whole beans and grind them just before brewing.
6. Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will lessen coffee flavor.
7. Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor
immediately after brewing.
8. Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed black coffee are due to the
extraction of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more
frequently if heavily roasted coffee is used. Over-extraction may also
cause oiliness, indicating a need to clean your coffee maker.
-15-
DECALCIFICATION
Calcium deposits may build up in the coffee maker as a result of minerals commonly
found in drinking water. The build-up is normal and may result in a slow down of
the coffee maker’s brewing time. The slow down can be eliminated by periodically
decalcifying the coffee maker.
HOW TO DECALCIFY YOUR COFFEE MAKER
1. To decalcify, fill the carafe with cold water and two tablespoons of white vinegar.
2. Pour the solution into the water tank, and then close the lid. Place the carafe on
the non-stick plate and allow the coffee maker to brew the vinegar solution.
3. While decalcifying, do not use a filter in the filter basket. When the vinegar
solution has finished brewing, empty the carafe and rinse it out with cold water.
4. Refill the water reservoir with cold water only and run another brew cycle to
remove any remaining vinegar solution. Repeat if necessary.
-16-
CLEANING YOUR COFFEE MAKER
1. WARNING: Make sure your coffee maker is unplugged before attempting to
clean. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plug or unit in
water or other liquid.
2. The outside of your coffee maker can be cleaned by wiping the surface with a
damp, soft cloth. WARNING: Never immerse the coffee maker in water or
other liquid.
3. Clean inside of carafe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use harsh
abrasives or scouring pads on carafe, it will scratch the surface.
4. Carafe lid and removable filter basket may be washed with warm, soapy water.
Rinse and dry thoroughly. Alternatively, the carafe lid and filter basket may also
be placed in the top rack of the dishwasher. Do not place any other parts of the
coffee maker in the dishwasher.
5. To clean the permanent gold-tone filter, empty the grounds and rinse thor-
oughly.
6. Do not clean the inside of the water tank with a cloth as the cloth may have a
lint residue that could clog the coffee maker.
7. For stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleanser
(inside of coffee maker only). Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive
cleansers.
8. To decalcify your coffee maker, please refer to the “Decalcification” section of
this manual.
