HOW TO OPERATE
Before making the first pot of coffee, wipe down the exterior of your RETRO SERIES™
12-CUP COFFEE MAKER with a clean, non-abrasive cloth or sponge. Thoroughly
wash the Filter Basket and Carafe in warm, sudsy water and thoroughly dry.
Next, find a flat surface near an electrical outlet. Make sure your cord is away
from any water source, then plug coffee maker into the electrical outlet.
Finally, follow the steps under the Brewing Coffee section using only water.
This will remove any dust or residue that remains in the system from the
manufacturing process. Discard the water and repeat if necessary.
