OXO Brew 8718800 8-Cup Coffee Maker Instruction Manual

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:

Read all instructions. Use this product only as described in this manual.
Keep the packaging material (cardboard, plastic, etc.) out of the reach of children (danger of asphyxiation or injury).
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs. Care must be taken, as burns can occur from touching hot parts or from spilled hot liquid.
To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, do not immerse cord, plugs, or Coffee Maker in water or other liquid.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Unplug Coffee Maker from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.
To prevent scalding, do not open brew basket lid, attempt to dislodge a potential clog, or otherwise touch the brew basket area until Coffee Maker has sufficiently cooled. Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during brewing cycles.
Coffee Maker must be operated on a flat surface away from the edge of counter to prevent accidental tipping.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact OXO Customer Service at (800) 545-4411. Do not return to store.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by OXO may result in fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
Use only the carafe provided with the Coffee Maker to capture brewed coffee when in Carafe mode.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electricburner, or in a heated oven.
Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to the off position, then remove plug from wall outlet.
The coffee carafe is designed for use with this appliance. It must never be used on a range top or in a microwave oven.
Do not put any substances other than water,descaling products, or coffee grounds into the Coffee Maker. Do not use Coffee Maker to cook or prepare other liquids or foods.
Do not use appliance without lid properly placed on carafe.

Do not rotate or remove carafe or brew basket while brewing coffee.
This appliance is intended for household use only.

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove the bottom cover. Doing so will void the warranty. No user-serviceable parts are inside.
Repair should be done by authorized service personnel only.

Shock Hazard:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or using an adapter. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet. Do not plug this appliance into an outlet with a voltage other than specified on the bottom of this appliance.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use any high wattage appliance on the same circuit as this appliance. This Coffee Maker is not intended for use by children, persons with reduced physical, sensory, o mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have received supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Meet Your Coffee Maker

Optional Single-Serve Accessory:
optimizes flavor when brewing 2-4 cups

Kalita Wave Filter 185
Single-Serve Accessory

Use the Accessory and wave filter inside the Brew Basket for single-serve brewing.

The Single Serve Accessory was designed for brewing 2–4 cups into the carafe or directly into a mug. Its compact size and shape changes the way the brewing water and grounds interact during the extraction, meaning the Accessory will draw out different nuanced c\haracteristics of your favorite coffee.

Before You Begin

Remove all packaging
Clean and wash all parts
For detailed cleaning instructions, see p.10
Do not use abrasive pads, harsh chemicals or spray cleaners. Carafe is not dishwasher safe.
Plug in Coffee Maker
We selected a short cord for this Coffee Maker to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. If you need to use a longer cord, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of Coffee Maker. Make sure the extension cord is arranged so that it cannot be pulled on by children or tripped over.
Run Water-Only 5-8 Cup Brew Cycle
Fill water tank to MAX fill line.

A Note About Water

Your Coffee Maker uses all of the water you put in the tank every time you brew. Add only as much water as you need for your coffee. For example, if you want to make 3 cups of coffee, only fill the water tank to the 3 cup fill line.

Brew tip: If you’re brewing a single mug, use your mug to measure the water and fill the water tank for a perfect cup.

Note:

For best results, always use filtered water.
Do not use distilled water.
