IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

CAUTION

To prevent personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions and warnings.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

• Read all instructions.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Do not operate when the appliance is not working properly or when it has been damaged in any manner. For service information see warranty page.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by West Bend may result in fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
• Do not attempt to repair this appliance yourself.
• Do not use this appliance on the stovetop, under a broiler, in the oven, or in the refrigerator or freezer.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs where provided. Use hot pads or oven mitts when handling hot surfaces.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
• Make sure cover, basket and stem are properly assembled before the appliance is plugged in (see “Instructions for Making Coffee” section). No part of the appliance should be removed during the brewing cycle as scalding could occur.
• Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during the brewing cycle.
• To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric parts in water or other liquids.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.
• Do not use this appliance outdoors.
• Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to "OFF," then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Be sure switch is turned to "OFF" before plugging the cord into wall outlet. If the appliance does not have a switch, be sure the appliance contains water or brewed coffee before plugging in. Do not leave appliance plugged in when it is not being used.
• Always unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

• Longer extension cords are available, but care must be exercised in their use. While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, ensure that the marked electrical rating of the extension cord is equal to or greater than that of the appliance. If the plug is of the grounded type, the extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. To avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement, position the extension cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the counter, table or other area where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

• Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or extension cord feels hot.

• Keep cord away from hot parts of the appliance and hot surfaces during operation.
• Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by or near children.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• For household use only.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING COFFEE

1. Before first use, clean coffeemaker thoroughly following cleaning instructions.
2. Always use the coffeemaker on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge.
3. With the basket and stem removed, fill the coffeemaker with COLD water to the desired cup level. The marks on the inside of the coffeemaker show cup levels. Do not fill past maximum cup level. Never make more than the maximum or less than the minimum amount of coffee, as indicated by the markings inside your coffeemaker, for your model of coffeemaker.

4. Place the stem and basket in the coffeemaker. Insert the stem in the opening in the basket then hold the top part of the stem to guide the stem into the heating well in the bottom of the coffeemaker. Use the measuring lines on the basket to add ground coffee to the basket, or use the chart below for the amount to use depending on the cup level. Spread the grounds evenly in the basket. Use standard measuring cups to measure the grounds. Do not let any grounds fall into the stem opening. Do not use finely ground coffee because the basket can flood. The amount of ground coffee recommended will make mild-strength coffee which most people prefer and can be adjusted to suit your preference.

5. Place the cover on the coffeemaker, with the vent hole to the back, and turn to lock. Note the arrows on the cover for locking position. Note: While moving an appliance containing hot liquids is not recommended, if you must move the coffeemaker, extreme caution should be used because the cover only temporarily reduces coffee from spilling if the coffeemaker is tipped over.

6. Plug the cord into a 120 volt AC grounded electric outlet ONLY. Press the ⏻ on/off button. The ⏻ on/off and ⏻ “brew” lights will illuminate.
7. The coffeemaker will stop perking automatically (each cup requires no longer than 1 minute brewing time). Coffee is ready when the green “ready” light glows. Coffee will remain at serving temperature as long as the coffeemaker is plugged in and the power is on. Before serving, remove the coffee basket and stem using a hot pad. If the coffee basket and stem are not removed, bitter oils from the extracted grounds will drip into the coffee. Replace the cover, making sure it is completely locked.
8. Press a sturdy cup against the dispensing lever to dispense coffee.
9. When about 3 cups of coffee remain in the coffeemaker, press the ⏻ on/off button to turn the coffeemaker off and unplug the cord from the electrical outlet. Note: Liquid must cover the inside bottom of the appliance at all times. Falling below the minimum level could cause overheating and damage to internal components and will void the warranty.

SPECIAL NOTE ON GRINDING COFFEE BEANS: If you grind your own coffee beans, grind to medium coarseness for best results. DO NOT grind too fine (powder-like) as this can cause the basket to flood.

DO NOT make more than the maximum or less than the minimum amount of coffee, as indicated by the markings inside your coffeemaker, for your model of coffeemaker.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR HEATING WATER FOR INSTANT BEVERAGES

Plain water may be heated in your coffeemaker for use with instant beverages. Simply fill the clean coffeemaker with cold water to the desired cup level, insert the stem and empty basket into position the same as for making coffee. Secure the cover in place and plug the coffeemaker in. Press the ⏻ on/off button. Heat the water until perking stops and the light on the base glows. Remove the cover, lift out the basket and stem with a hot pad, and replace the cover, making sure it is locked in place. Unplug the coffeemaker when less than 3 cups of water remain. The inside of the coffeemaker may darken after heating water, which is normal and does not affect the coffeemaker or the water heated.

Other than making coffee or heating water, no other liquid should be heated in the coffeemaker because damage to the heating unit can occur.

HELPFUL HINTS

• Never make less than the minimum or more than the maximum amount of coffee for your coffee urn.
• Do not use soft water, as flooding of the basket may occur.
• Use regular electric perk grind coffee or coffee ground for all coffeemakers for best results. Do not use finely ground coffee as flooding of the coffee basket can occur. If grinding your own coffee beans, grind to medium coarseness for best results. Do not grind coffee too finely, powder-like, as this can cause the coffee basket to flood.
• Do not use paper filters in your basket. If you find that grounds are falling through, wet the basket before adding coffee grounds.
• Remove coffee basket with grounds as soon as the brewing cycle is completed. This also helps maintain the coffee flavor. Use the coffee maker cover as a drip tray when disposing of wet grounds.
• Liquid must always cover the inside bottom of the appliance at all times. Falling below the minimum level could cause overheating and damage to internal components and will void the warranty.
• A small amount of smoke or odor may occur upon heating due to the release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.
• Some minor expansion or contraction sounds may occur during heating and cooling – this is normal.
• Do not allow ground coffee to fall into the stem.
• If more coffee is immediately desired, partially fill the coffeemaker with cold water to reset the thermostat. Empty the water out of the coffeemaker, then repeat steps 3-9.

CLEANING YOUR COFFEE URN

1. Unplug the coffeemaker and allow it to cool. Drain any coffee out of the coffeemaker.
2. Wash the basket, stem, and cover in warm, soapy water with a dishcloth or sponge. Rinse and dry. Coffee stains on the metal can be removed with a non-metallic scouring pad. The basket and stem may be cleaned in an automatic dishwasher, top rack only.
3. Clean the inside of the coffee maker by filling with warm water about one-third of its capacity. Add dish soap and wash with a sponge or cloth. Scour the heating unit well (where the stem fits) with a scouring pad. Twist the pad inside the heating unit well to clean. The heating unit well must be kept clean for coffeemaker to work properly. Dispense warm, soapy water through the faucet to clean. Rinse with warm water and dry.
4. Clean the outside of the coffeemaker with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive metal scouring pads or cleansers on the outside of the coffeemaker because scratching will occur.

This appliance has no user serviceable parts.

SPECIAL CLEANING – EVERY TWO WEEKS

If coffeemaker is used daily, a special cleaning every 2 weeks, or every week if it is used for heating water, is necessary to thoroughly clean the heating unit well. If not kept clean, the coffeemaker will not work properly.

1. Fill the coffeemaker with 1 quart EACH of water and white distilled vinegar. (If a white mineral buildup has formed on the inside of coffeemaker, use an additional 2 cups of vinegar). Place the stem and empty basket in place and lock the cover onto the coffeemaker. Press the ⏻ on/off button. Allow the coffeemaker to complete the perking cycle, then let stand for 20 minutes.
2. Press the ⏻ on/off button to turn the coffeemaker off and unplug the cord from the outlet. Drain the coffeemaker and allow it to cool. Wash the inside and the parts following the regular cleaning instructions, making sure to thoroughly clean the heating unit well.
