[. . . ] When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and/or injury to persons, including the following: 1 - Read all instructions. 3 - To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons, do not place cord, plugs or appliance in water or other liquid. 4 - Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Keep appliance out of reach of children. [. . . ] When the programmed start time is set the machine will validate automatically after 5 seconds and shut-off. Brewing will not begin until the time that was set in the Program function (above). Be sure to prepare the machine for a brew cycle with water in the tank, coffee in the brew basket and carafe securely in place. The preset time is retained in memory so subsequent automatic brew cycles for the same preset time can be activated by simply pressing the Auto button. Used ground coffee and the paper filter can be disposed in the trash or compost. If possible do not let wet coffee sit in the machine overnight. The filter basket holder should be cleaned regularly with soap and water. The glass carafe should be rinsed after every cycle and regularly washed with soap and water. Your coffee machine should be descaled periodically or whenever the brew cycle has slowed noticeably. Normally it should not take more than 10 minutes to brew a full pot. It is recommended to descale at least every 3 months using a descaling solution designed for use in coffee machines. Before descaling remove the permanent filter (if applicable) from the brew basket. Do not put ground coffee in the filter basket. Press ON and let 1/2 the water run through and into the carafe, then turn the machine off. Turn the machine ON again and let the rest of the water run through. Discard the water and run another cycle with clean water to rinse the system. The warranty excludes coffee machines which have stopped working or do not work properly due to lack of descaling.

Arabica beans provide the best flavors and have less caffeine and while Robusta beans are easier to grow and less expensive, they have less flavor and higher caffeine content. Robusta beans are sometimes used in blends to add a particular bitterness to the brew. Beans can be roasted very lightly to provide a smooth aromatic taste or roasted dark to provide stronger flavors, and anywhere in between.
