PO\f\bRIZED P\fUG (120V Models Only)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To 
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized 
outlet only 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.
T\bMPER-RESIST\bNT SCREW
Warning: This applianc\re is equipped with \ra tamper-resistant screw to 
prevent removal of the outer cover.  
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do no\rt attempt to remove the 
outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Rep\rair should be 
done only by authorized ser\rvice personnel.
E\fECTRIC\b\f CORD
a) A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be 
provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or 
tripping over a longer cord.
b) Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available 
and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1)  The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or 
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of 
the appliance,
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be  
a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3) The longer 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.
Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified 
personnel; in Latin America, by an authorized service center.

How to Use
This appliance is intended for household use only.
GETTING ST\bRTED
• Remove all stickers, packing material and literature.
• Remove and save literature.
• Please go to www.prodprotect.com/applica to register your warranty.
• Wash all parts as instructed in the CARE AND CLEANING section.
• Pour cold water up to the Max fill line in the water reservoir.
• Brew water through as instructed in BREWING COFFEE, but do not add 
coffee grounds. When done, turn off the coffeemaker and discard the 
water from the mug.
BREWING COFFEE
1. Lift the one-piece cover. Pour one full mug of cold water 
into the water reservoir (\b).
2.  Place the permanent filter into the filter basket (B).  
Add ground coffee, (we recommend approximately  
2½ tablespoons). Close the cover.
3. Remove the lid from the travel mug and add sweetener, 
cream or milk to the mug before brewing; replace the 
lid. Place the mug on the mug rest directly under the 
filter basket opening.
4. Press the power switch and the power indicator light 
will illuminate (C). The coffeemaker and power indicator 
light turn off automatically when brewing is done. 
Allow the coffee to finish dripping from the unit before 
removing your travel mug. 
Note: There will be slightly less coffee in your travel mug 
than the amount of water added, as the grounds absorb 
some of the liquid.
Tip: Your coffeemaker can also be used to brew hot water for other hot 
beverages such as tea, hot chocolate, instant oatmeal and soups. To brew 
hot water into the travel mug, place the filter and basket and follow the 
brewing process (without adding grounds).
Caution: Be careful when opening the reservoir cover after brewing as 
this area is hot and steamy. Use the lift tab located on the front of the 
coffeemaker reservoir cover.
Tip: The travel mug may also be used for carrying cold beverages.

Care and Cleaning
This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified 
service personnel.
C\fE\bNING
1. Be sure the coffeemaker is off and cooled. Open the cover, remove the filter 
basket (lift straight up) and discard the grounds. Clean as follows: filter basket, 
permanent filter, mug and mug lid may be handwashed in warm, soapy water. 
The coffeemaker’s exterior may be cleaned with a soft damp cloth.
Important: Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads. Never immerse the 
coffeemaker in water.
2.  To clean inside of reservoir cover, open the one-piece cover 
allowing it to rest in the open position. Pull the showerhead 
down and wipe the surfaces with a clean damp cloth. After 
cleaning snap the showerhead back into place (D).
C\fE\bNING WITH VINEG\bR
Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your coffeemaker. Cleaning is 
recommended once a month. Excessive steaming or a prolonged brewing cycle  
is a sign that a cleaning is needed. 
1.  Fill the mug about ¹⁄3 full with white vinegar and then to the top with cold 
water and pour into the water reservoir. 
2. Place the mug on the mug rest.
3. Press the power switch and let the cleaning solution brew through until the 
unit shuts off automatically. 
4. Repeat the process using a new solution; do not reuse the first solution.
\b. Use the mug to fill the reservoir with cold water and brew the plain water 
through to flush out any remaining solution. You may have to repeat the plain 
water cycle to remove any remaining vinegar taste.
\f. Wash and dry the permanent filter, filter basket, lid and mug as instructed  
in CLEANING.
