Clogged Needle

Troubleshooting

Coffee Maker will not brew/coffee not dispensing.

  • Piercing needle may be clogged. Remove Gray Removable Needle Holder. Clean piercing needle in Lid of Coffee Maker as shown on page 7.
  • Mineral deposits have formed. Clean Coffee Maker following directions in Care and Cleaning section.
  • Too little water. Need 6 oz. (177 mL) or more.

Coffee tastes bad.

  • Too much water was added or too much or too little ground coffee was added. Change amount of water to coffee grounds or use less water with coffee packs.
  • Poor coffee quality and freshness.
  • Soft water causes poor coffee extraction, leading to poor tasting coffee. Use filtered, spring, or bottled water if your water is soft.

Coffee sediment in cup.

  • Try a more coarsely ground coffee or add a #1 paper cone coffee filter to Brew Basket. Make sure Hinged Lid is closed on Removable Brew Basket.

Coffee overflows from Brew Basket.

  • Use Removable Brew Basket with Lid for ground coffee.
  • Use a lesser amount of ground coffee. 3 tablespoons (15 g) is maximum amount of grounds to brew. Do not fill grounds above MAX fill line.
  • When using whole bean coffee, a standard automatic drip coffee grind will yield best results. Be careful not to overgrind, since very finely ground coffee can cause overflow.
  • Black seal around needle in Removable Needle Holder is missing. Carefully place seal around needle and push until in place.
  • Do not use soft water. Use filtered, spring, or bottled water.

Water on counter under unit.

  • Overfilled Water Reservoir. Do not add more than 14 oz. (414 mL) of water. Some mugs/cups do not pour cleanly and can dribble water down side of cup and onto counter.

Coffee overflows from mug or travel mug.

  • To prevent coffee overflowing from a mug/travel mug, use same mug/travel mug to brew into that was used to fill Water Reservoir. Do not add more than 14 oz. (414 mL) of water. There may also be additional water in system that is causing overflow. Remove Brew Basket or Single-Serve Pack Holder. Press and hold BOLD or REG Button to remove any remaining water.

Water remaining in Reservoir.

  • Added too much or too little water. Place cup or travel mug on Cup Rest. Remove single-serve pack and replace Brew Basket. Repeat brewing cycle. Press and hold BOLD or REG Button to remove any remaining water.

Coffee single-serve pack bursts.

  • There is variability in single-serve pack manufacturing process which causes some types of single-serve packs to be weaker at seams so foil seal fails. Try a different brand.
  • If you are using softened water or live in an area where your tap water is naturally soft, this can cause single-serve pack issues and filter basket overflows. Use filtered, spring, or bottled water.

BOLD or REG Button flashes:

  • 2 times: Coffee Maker needs to be cleaned. See page 7.
  • 3 times: Coffee Maker Lid is not closed properly. Push Lid down to lock into place.
  • 7 times: Coffee Maker needs to be cleaned. See page 7.
  • 8 times: Needle is clogged. Remove Gray Removable Needle Holder and follow “Clogged Needle” instructions on page 7.
  • 9 times: Not enough water. Add water to Water Reservoir.

Care and Cleaning

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard.
Do not immerse cord, plug, or coffee maker in any liquid.

To remove mineral deposits and buildup: All coffee makers should be cleaned at least once a month; once a week for areas with hard water.

  1. Unplug. This resets Coffee Maker for cleaning or water filter notification.
  2. Wipe Coffee Maker with a damp cloth or sponge. Dry.
  3. Remove Water Filter and Pod, see “How to Replace Water Filter.”
  4. Pour a minimum of 1 pint (2 cups [473 mL]) white vinegar into Water Reservoir.
  5. Plug in. Press BREW STRENGTH button repeatedly and select “Clean”. “Clean” will flash in the display. Press BREW l/ button once to start. When clean cycle is finished, wait for unit to cool. Clean cycle takes about 35 minutes to complete.
  6. Empty Carafe and rinse. Press BREW STRENGTH and select “Classic”. Run 2–3 more brew cycles with clean water only. Allow to cool between cycles.
  7. Carafe with Lid, Filter Basket with Handle, and Measuring Scoop are dishwasher-safe. DO NOT use “SANI” setting on dishwasher. “SANI” cycle temperatures could damage your product. Do not clean removable water reservoir, removable water reservoir lid in the dishwasher.

NOTES:

  • Clean Notification: If unit is always plugged in, after 30 cycles, “Clean” will illuminate in display. Follow directions in “Care and Cleaning” above.
  • Performing cleaning procedure will clear display. Display will clear automatically after two brews.
  • Brew cycle counter resets every time Coffee Maker is unplugged or when power is lost.

Tips for Best-Tasting Coffee

  • All coffees are made from either Arabica beans or Robusta beans, or some combination of both. Arabica beans are slightly more expensive, but tend to produce better-tasting coffee.
  • Ground coffee will become stale much faster than whole beans. If buying reground coffee, choose a package with the latest expiration date, or buy a smaller quantity.
  • If grinding whole beans, set your coffee grinder on a medium grind. This will yield best-tasting grounds. Try to use freshly ground coffee within about a week of grinding.
  • Using a water filter, filtered water, or bottled water will yield better-tasting coffee than tap water.
  • Use approximately 1 tablespoon (5 g) of grounds for each cup of coffee being made. To avoid overflow, use slightly less grounds (3/4 tablespoon [4 g]) when brewing decaf or flavored coffees. Also, be aware that using coffee that is ground too finely may also cause Filter Basket to overflow.
  • Make sure your Coffee Maker is clean. See “Care and Cleaning” section.

Water Filter Notification

If Coffee Maker is left plugged in, ( ) will show in the display after 60 cycles. This symbol means that Water Filter should be replaced. How to Replace Water Filter (optional)

NOTE: For better-tasting coffee, use a water filter.

  1. Soak Water Filter with Pod for 15 minutes in water.
  2. Add filter pod to bottom of Water Filter and snap on filter handle.
  3. Place assembly into opening on bottom of Water Reservoir.
    NOTE: The brew cycle counter resets every time Coffee Maker is unplugged or when power is lost.

Troubleshooting

Filter Basket overflows or coffee brews slowly.

  • The “Bold” or “1–4 Cups” brew option is recommended for brewing decaffeinated coffee.
  • Excessive amounts of coffee were added to Filter Basket.
  • Coffee ground too finely (not automatic drip grind).
  • Carafe not securely placed on Warming Plate or Filter Basket

Holder not seated correctly.

  • Carafe removed during brewing for more than 20 seconds and not placed securely back on Warming Plate.
  • Coffee Maker needs cleaning.
  • Coffee grounds between filter and Filter Basket. Coffee not brewing/unit will not turn on.
  • Water Reservoir is empty.
  • Unit is unplugged.
  • Power outage.
  • Power surge. Unplug; then plug Coffee Maker back in.

FIL H20 appears on display.

  • Water Reservoir is out of water, doesn’t have enough water or not in place. Fill Water Reservoir with water or remove Water Reservoir and ensure it is in place. If Water Reservoir is removed after 60 seconds of brewing, Coffee Maker will automatically stop brewing.

Coffee Maker beeps.

 WARNING :  Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce 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 by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

Wattage Information:
The wattage rating of the food processor is determined by an Underwriters Laboratory test and is based on use of the plastic dough blade and the following dough load: 730g flour, 418.5g water, 52.5g oil, 33.5g sugar, 12g salt and 14g yeast. The food processor using other attachments as recommended may draw significantly less power.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over. To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

Tips and Techniques

  • For a more uniform consistency, start with pieces of food that are similar in size. Cut food into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces before processing with Stainless Steel Chopping Blade and leave room in Bowl for the food to be tossed around.
  • This Food Processor is excellent to chop, mix, slice, or shred most foods. However, to maintain peak performance, do not use your Food Processor for the following: grinding grain, coffee beans, or spices; slicing frozen meats; or crushing ice.
  • When chopping foods, pulsing on and off will produce the best results.
  •  Operating time will depend on quantity of food being processed. Most foods can be sliced, chopped, or shredded  in seconds. If unit is operated continuously for an extended period of time, let the Food  Processor rest about 4 minutes before continuing.
  • Do not puree or mash starchy vegetables like potatoes as they are easily over processed and will become gummy.
  • To slice or shred cheese, use only firm cheese like Cheddar or Swiss that has been chilled for at least 30 minutes. Cheese should be processed immediately after being removed from the refrigerator. Soft cheese like mozzarella should be placed in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to processing to ensure it is firm
    enough for shredding.
  •  The Reversible Slicing/Shredding Disc has a slicing blade on one side and shredding teeth on the other. The name stamped on the Blade, facing up, is the function selected. Place on Motor Shaft with desired cutting edge facing up.
  • To julienne vegetables, slice and then remove from Bowl. Restack the vegetables. Pack into Food Chute with slices vertical. Slice again to make matchstick-cut vegetables.

Processing Charts

Disc attachments are reversible and labeled. The stamped label should face up for the desired function. When using disc attachments, do not process past the MAX Fill Line on the Bowl.

Troubleshooting

Unit does not operate on any speed or Pulse.

  • Is the unit plugged in? Does the outlet work?
  • Is the Lid latched in place? See “How to Use” sections. Place Lid on Bowl,  making sure to align the Pour Spout on the Lid with the Pour Spout on the Bowl.
  • Is the Large Food Pusher in the Food Chute? The Large Food Pusher must be in place to operate.
  • Is the Food Chute overfilled? Do not add food above the MAX Fill Line. The Large Food Pusher must be in the Food Chute to operate.

Food is not sliced or shredded uniformly.

  • Packing too much food in the Food Chute or pushing too hard on the Food Pusher may cause the processed food to be irregulary sliced or shredded. Refer to “Processing Charts” for recommended sizes and quantities.

Unit stops and will not come back on.

  • Is the Lid latched in place? See “How to Use” sections. Place Lid on Bowl, making sure to align the Pour Spout on the Lid with the Pour Spout on the Bowl.
  • Is the outlet still working? Check it by plugging in a working lamp or other  appliance. You may have overloaded the circuit and blown a fuse or tripped the  circuit breaker.
  • Turn unit OFF ( ), allow to stand for 3 to 4 minutes, and then turn back on.
  • If  none of these suggestions correct the problem, DO NOT attempt to repair the unit. Call the Customer Service number. Unit has a burning smell.
  • There may be a residue left on the motor from the manufacturing process, causing a slight odor during initial use. This will go away. If a strong odor or any visible smoke appears, unplug unit IMMEDIATELYand call the Customer  Service number. Motor seems weak.
  • Are you using the recommended food size and quantity to be processed? Refer  to “Processing Charts” for recommended food sizes and speeds. Cheese is not shredding well.
  • Cheese should be processed immediately after being removed from the refrigerator. Soft cheese like mozzarella should be placed in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to processing to ensure it is firm enough for shredding. Vegetables are not shredding or slicing.
  • Store vegetables with high water content in the refrigerator prior to processing. Room-temperature vegetables are less firm and do not perform as well. Food particles stuck in the back of the Food Chute above the handle.
  • Place back of the Food Chute under running water to rinse out thefood before  placing in the dishwasher.

How to Assemble Stand

The stand mixer is very convenient for most recipes. However, small amounts– like one cup (237 ml) of cream–may not contact the beaters in the stand mixer mode. In these cases we recommend using as a hand mixer.

NOTE: Attach mixer to stand before attaching beaters or dough hooks.

  1. Set stand on counter. With platform level and while holding mixer as shown, place the two small holes on the bottom of the mixer into the two hooks on platform.
  2. As the mixer is lowered, gently press the back of the mixer onto the platform until it locks in position. The mixer can now be used as a stand mixer.
  3. Push the Tilt Button to tilt the mixer.
Optional Attachments (available on selected models)

2 or quick breads
3  To cream butter and sugar; most cookie dough
4 MEDIUM speed for most packaged cake mixes
5  Frosting and mashed potatoes; kneading dough
6  Beating egg whites; kneading dough

Mixing Tips
Cookie dough is one of the thickest doughs to mix. Make it easier by following these tips:

  • Use a large mixing bowl so that ingredients spread out for easier mixing.
  • Have butter or margarine at room temperature.
  • Add ingredients one at a time and thoroughly mix after each addition.
  • Add flour one cup at a time.
  • To add chips or nuts to a very thick dough or batter, we recommend stirring them in by hand at the very end of the recipe.

Installino Your Unit

  • This appliance is designed to be free standing only, and should not be recessed or built-in.
  • Place your unit on a floor that is strong enough to support the unit when it is fully loaded. To level your unit, adjust the leveling legs at the bottom of the unit.
  • Allow 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the unit, which allows the proper air circulation to cool the compressor and condenser.
  • Locate the unit away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the unit not to perform properly.
  • Avoid locating the unit in moist areas.
  • Plug the unit into an exclusive, properly installed and grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or the service center.
  • After plugging the appliance into a wall outlet, allow the unit to cool down for 2-3 hours before placing food in the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

Electrical Connection

;¥’Warning;¥’

Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by the service center.
This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this unit is equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
This unit requires a standard 115/120 Volt AC -/60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The cord should be secured behind the unit and not left exposed or dangling to prevent accidental injury.
The unit should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits that could cause a fire hazard due to overheating.
Never unplug the unit by pulling the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When moving the unit, be careful not to damage the power cord.

► Extension Cord

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this unit. However, if you must use an extension cord it is
absolutely necessary that it be a UL/CUL-Listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 115 volts and at least 10 amperes.

► SURGE PROTECTOR

Most electrical appliances use a series of electric control boards to operate. These boards are very susceptible to power surges and could be damaged or destroyed. If the appliance is going to be used in an area or if your city/country is prone to power surges/outages; it is suggested that you use a power surge protector for all electrical devices/appliances you use. The surge protector that you select must have a surge block high enough to protect the appliance it is connected to. If you have any questions regarding the type and size of surge protector needed contact a licensed electrician in your area.
Damages due to power surges are not considered a manufacturer-covered defect and will void your product warranty.

► Reversing the Door Swing of Your Appliance

This appliance has the capability of the door opening from either the left or right side. The unit is delivered to you with the door opening from the left side.
Following refrigerator pictures are for your reference only.

OPERATING YOUR UNIT

► Setting the Temperature Control

  • Your unit has only one control for regulating the temperature in the compartment. The temperature control is located on the upper right hand side of the compartment.
  • The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to “5”.
  • The range of the temperature control is from position “O” to “5”. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suites your needs. The setting of “3” should be appropriate for home or office use.
  • To turn the appliance off, turn the temperature control to “O”.

NOTE:

  • Turning the temperature control to “O” position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the power to the unit.
  • If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the unit will not start.

► Using Your Ice Cube Tray

  • Recommended thermostat setting for ice-making is position 5.
  • Fill the ice cube tray (two thirds of it) with cold water or with any liquid suitable for freezing and place the tray on the bottom of the chiller compartment to freeze properly.
  • Dry the tray, otherwise it may stick to the bottom of the chiller.
  • The best method to get ice cubes out of the tray is to hold the tray under cold tap water for a second.
  • To eject the ice cubes from the tray, place over the ice bucket and twist slightly.

► The Chiller Compartment

  • This compartment is designed for production of ice cubes and short-term storage (3-4 days at most) of some commercially frozen foods.
  • The temperature in this compartment does not get cold enough to freeze food safely for long periods of time and works best when the food is already frozen.
  • By design, this chiller compartment is not a true freezer, and may not keep ice cream frozen, or freeze items.
  • A colder setting may be used for these items, but other items in the refrigerator may also be affected.
  • The chiller door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice build up. This part is not covered under your warranty. Be sure to defrost when the ice reaches 1/4 inch thickness.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

► Defrosting Your Unit

  • Defrost the unit when the frost accumulated on the evaporator is about 5mm (1/5 inch) thick. Set the thermostat dial to “O” position.
  • Remove frozen or perishable foods from the appliance and place it in a cooler to protect the food.
  • During the defrost cycle, the ice melts into the water collection tray.
  • To remove the water, either remove the water collection tray and/or place a collection container under the tray.
  • Dry the water collection tray and place back under the appliance compartment.
  • Defrosting usually takes a few hours. After defrosting, return the thermostat dial to the desired position. To defrost quickly remove all foods from the unit and leave the door open. Never use a knife or other metal instrument to scrape ice/frost from the evaporator.

► Cleaning Your Unit

  • Turn the temperature control to “O”, unplug the unit, and remove the food, shelves, and trays.
  • Wash the inside surfaces with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should be about 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a quart of water.
  • Wash the shelves and trays with a mild detergent solution.
  • The outside of the unit should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
  • Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth before cleaning the area of the controls, or any electrical parts.
  • Wash the outside cabinet with warm water and mild liquid detergent. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
CAUTION:

Failure to unplug the unit could result in electrical shock or personal injury.

CAUTION

Do not use boiling water because it may damage the plastic parts. In addition, never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove frost as it may damage the cooling coils and will
void the warranty. We recommend using a plastic scraper.

  • Use a sponge or towel to pick up the melting ice off the unitfloor.
  • Remove the frozen food from the chiller compartment and place it in a cooler to protect the food.

► Power Failure

Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your unit if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be
off for a longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your food

► Vacation Time

Short vacations: Leave the unit operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary.

► Moving Your Unit

  • Remove all the food.
  • Securely tape down all loose items inside your unit.
  •  Turn the leveling screws up to the base to avoid damage.
  • Tape the door shut.
  • Be sure the unit stays secure in the upright position during transportation. Also protect the outside of the unit with a blanket, or similar item.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug.

If the plug should still fail to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.To avoid an electrical circuit overload do not use a high wattage appliance on the same circuit with the Juicit®. This appliance has a short cord to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if the electrical rating of the extension cord is equal to or greater than the rating of the Juicit or juicer. Use only an extension cord rated 10 amperes or greater. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over countertops or tabletops where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
