Black and Decker 12CUP PROGRAMMABLE COFFEEMAKER DCM900B User Manual

							
1920
• 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. Over extraction may also cause oiliness, indicating a 
need to clean your coffeemaker.
Care and Cleaning
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user-serviceable parts. 
Any servicing requiring disassembly other than cleaning must be performed by a 
qualified appliance repair technician.
Warning: Unplug from wall outlet before cleaning.
1.  Always make sure the coffeemaker is unplugged and the warming plate is cool 
before attempting to clean.
2. After daily use, the removable filter basket, carafe and carafe lid should be 
washed in warm, soapy water.
3. If necessary, wipe the outside of the coffeemaker with a soft, damp cloth and 
wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleansers, scouring pads or steel wool. Never 
immerse the coffeemaker in water or any other liquid.
CARING FOR  yOUR CARAFE
1. Do not allow all liquid to evaporate from the carafe while on the warming 
plate, or heat the carafe when empty.
2. Discard the carafe if damaged in any manner.
3. Never use abrasive scouring pads or cleansers; they will scratch the glass.
4. Avoid rough handling and sharp blows.
MINERAL DEPOSITS  AND CLOGGING
Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your coffeemaker. excessive steaming 
or a prolonged brewing cycle are signs that a cleaning is needed. Cleaning is 
recommended every 60 brewing cycles.
1. Pour white into the carafe up to the 7-cup mark. Add cold water up to the  
12-cup mark. Pour the water/vinegar mixture into the water reservoir. 
2. Place a permanent filter in the removable filter basket, then close the lid. Place 
the carafe on the warming plate. Press the ON/OFF button.
Note: During cleaning, more steam will occur than during normal brewing.
3. KEEP THE COFFEEMAKER ON UNTIL HALF THE WATER HAS CYCLED 
THROUGH THE COFFEEMAKER, AS CAN BE VIEWED THROUGH THE 
WATER LEVEL INDICATOR. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the power off. 
When liquid stops dripping from the removable filter basket into the carafe, 
remove the carafe and allow the liquid to cool for 10 minutes. When cooled, 
pour liquid back into the water reservoir.
4. Return carafe to the warming plate.
AUTO ON FEATURE
To pre-set your coffeemaker to begin brewing at a later time, first follow steps 1-
5 in the Brewing Instructions section. Check to make sure that the clock is set to 
the correct time. If it is not, follow the above instructions to set the clock. Press 
the PROGRAM Button once, the LCD Display will flash “PROGRAM”. Press the 
HOUR and MIN Buttons until the desired brew time is reached. Make sure the 
proper “AM/PM” appears on the left side of the LCD display. Press the AUTO ON 
button. The green “AUTO” light will illuminate in the upper right corner and the 
pre-set brew time will be displayed momentarily, indicating that the coffeemaker is 
now waiting for the pre-set brew time to be reached before it begins the brewing 
cycle.
Note: If the AUTO ON button is pressed during the brewing process, the brewing 
will stop and the unit will turn off.
To Cancel Auto On: Press the AUTO ON button and the green light will shut off. 
To re-set the Auto On time so the unit will turn on at the same pre-set time the 
next day, press the AUTO ON button and the green “AUTO” light will illuminate.
Note: The Auto On feature will turn off after completing the brewing process at 
the pre-set brew time. The AUTO ON button must be pressed after each use in 
order for the unit to turn on at the same pre-set time the following day.
Note: In the event of a power outage or if the unit is unplugged, the clock will 
reset to 12:00 and the Auto On feature will have to be reprogrammed.
BREW STRENGTH FEATURE
Use the Brew Strength feature when you plan on brewing only a small amount of 
coffee. This feature slows down the brewing process so that the smaller amount 
of coffee will have the same taste quality as when you brew an entire carafe. The 
Brew Strength feature can be activated before the unit is turned ON or during the 
brewing process by pressing the BREW STRENGTH button. When this feature is 
activated, a coffee cup icon will be displayed in the LCD display.
Note: To deactivate the Brew Strength feature, press the BREW STRENGTH button 
again and the coffee cup icon will disappear.
AUTO SHUT-OFF FEATURE
As an added convenience, your coffeemaker has been designed with an Auto 
Shut-Off feature. When the brewing cycle is complete, the coffeemaker will 
automatically shut off after 2 hours.
HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE
• A clean coffeemaker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regular 
cleaning, as specified in Care and Cleaning is highly recommended. Always 
use fresh, cool water in your coffeemaker. Finer grinds, such as drip and ADC 
coffee, promote fuller extraction and provide rich, full-bodied coffee. Regular 
grinds 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 just before brewing.
• Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair coffee flavor.

NOTAS/NOTES5. Turn the coffeemaker back on and repeat this procedure, allowing all the 
cleaning solution to empty into the carafe. After dripping has stopped, discard 
contents in the carafe.
6. After allowing the coffeemaker to cool for 10 minutes, rinse it out by brewing 
a carafe full of cold water. Make sure to insert the permanent filter into the 
removable filter basket before brewing.
7. At the end of the brew cycle, turn OFF the unit by pressing the ON/OFF button. 
Discard water in the carafe. Remove the permanent filter and wash the carafe 
and removable filter basket in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry.
8. When the coffeemaker has cooled, wipe exterior with a dry cloth.
