Salton Coffeemaker MEFB1B User Guide

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING: A risk of fire and electrical shock exists in all  
electrical appliances and may cause personal injury or death.  
Please follow all safety instructions.  
Fast Brew 12-Cup Coffeemaker  
 
• Coffeemaker must be left to cool down for approximately 10  
minutes before adding more water.  
• WARNING: Do not remove bottom cover. No user serviceable  
parts inside. Repair must be done by authorized service per-  
sonnel only.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk  
of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping  
over a longer cord. Extension cords are available from local hardware  
stores and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an exten-  
sion cord is required, special care and caution is necessary. Also the  
cord must be: (1) marked with an electrical rating of 125 V, and at  
least 13 A., 1625 W., and (2) the cord must be arranged so that it will  
not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by  
children or tripped over accidentally.  
POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade  
is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of elec-  
trical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one  
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still  
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat  
this safety feature.  
ELECTRIC POWER: If the electric circuit is overloaded with other  
appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be  
operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.  
This product is for household use only.

Before Using Your  
Coffeemaker  
CAUTION: UNPLUG FROM OUTLET. MAKE SURE POWER  
BUTTON IS IN OFF POSITION.  
Become familiar with parts of the unit.  
Clean the carafe and lid, removable filter basket. Fill the cof-  
feemaker with the maximum amount of water and turn the unit on.  
Follow procedures for “BREWING” (without coffee). Unplug cof-  
feemaker and discard the water. Wait 10 minutes to allow heating  
elements to cool. Repeat the process once.  
CAUTION: DO NOT IMMERSE CORD, PLUG, OR COFFEE-  
MAKER UNIT IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.  
Coffee Yield  
A 5-ounce cup is the American industry standard and is used by  
most coffeemaker manufacturers. Your favorite mug will accom-  
modate about 2 cups (or 10 oz.) of coffee. We do not recommend  
preparing less than 4 cups (or 20 oz.) of coffee.  
Brewing  
1. Push excess cord into cord storage in base of unit. Plug into  
a 120 V ~ 60 Hz outlet.  
2. Make sure the unit is in the OFF position; the indicator light  
will be off.  
3. Markings on the water level window indicate the level of water  
required to brew the desired number of cups. Remove the  
snap-on lid by gently pulling up. Fill the carafe with cold tap  
water. Snap the lid back into position.  
NOTE: Brewing less than 4 cups is not recommended.  
4. Lift up the hinged lid on the top of the unit and slowly pour  
water into the water chamber.  
5. Insert a #4 cone paper filter into removable filter basket and  
add coffee grounds. Use approximately 1 measuring spoon of  
grounds for every cup of coffee. Close lid.

6. Make sure that the carafe with lid is properly seated on the  
warming plate. Press the power button in to turn power ON.  
The indicator light will turn on.  
7. If you wish to serve a cup of coffee before brew cycle is com-  
plete, simply remove carafe from warming plate. Dripping will  
automatically cease. Return carafe to position on warming  
plate within 30 seconds; dripping will resume. If the carafe is  
not returned to the warming plate, the coffee may overflow  
from the filter basket.  
NOTE: To keep coffee hot, return carafe to the warming plate  
after serving. The warming plate will automatically keep ideal  
serving temperature as long as the coffeemaker is on. Do not  
let empty carafe remain on heated warming plate.  
8. Press the power button to turn the unit OFF when not in use.  
The indicator light will go off.  
9. Unplug and allow to cool for 10 minutes between cycles.  
Helpful Hints for Brewing  
• The markings on the water window reflect the quantity of fresh  
water to be used. The quantity of brewed coffee is less because  
the coffee grounds absorb water.  
• Never use hot or carbonated water. This will damage the appli-  
ance.  
• Never pour milk, liquid coffee, tea, or other liquid, except water, into  
the water chamber.  
Care and Cleaning  
1. Make sure power button is in OFF position.  
2. Unplug and allow to cool completely before cleaning.  
3. Open hinged lid on top of unit and remove filter basket.  
Discard coffee grounds and paper filter. Wash and dry all  
removable parts. Replace basket by fitting notch in groove of  
unit.  
4. Clean inside of lid and the outside of the coffeemaker with a  
damp cloth.  
CAUTION: DO NOT IMMERSE CORD, PLUG OR COFFEE-

MAKER UNIT IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.  
Descaling  
We recommend you clean your coffeemaker once a month with a  
solution of vinegar and water. Mineral deposits from tap water can  
form a coating in the coffeemaker, causing slower brewing time  
and possibly an off flavor in the coffee.  
1. Pour 12 cup vinegar into the carafe, and add cold water up to  
the 4 cup mark. Pour into the water reservoir.  
2. Place a clean paper filter in the filter basket and close.  
3. Follow brewing instructions, (without coffee.)  
4. When the unit has finished brewing, press in the power button  
to turn the power OFF. Carefully remove the carafe and place  
on a heat resistant surface. Wait 15 minutes and pour the  
solution back into the coffee maker.  
5. Turn unit ON again. Allow solution to empty into carafe; turn  
unit OFF. After dripping stops, discard solution.  
6. Allow coffeemaker to cool 10 minutes. Rinse it out by brewing  
a carafe full of cold water, (without coffee). Repeat process.  
7. At the end of the cycle, press in the power button to turn  
power OFF. Discard the water and paper filter.  
8. Wash and dry all removable parts.  
9. When coffeemaker has cooled, wipe exterior with a damp  
cloth.  
Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above  
cleaning must be performed by an authorized service center.
