GENERAL INFORMATION
NOTE - THE BREWER IS NOT READY TO PLUG IN
(See Page 6)
Improper installation will result in permanent damage and void the
limited warranty. Read & follow the instructions on the next page.
• This brewer is designed to remain plugged in at all times
(except during initial installation or when cleaning).
• A vacation switch is provided on the lower left side to completely shut
off all electrical components when your plans take you away from home
for three or more days. Safety features, designed into the BUNN
®
coffee
brewer, make the daily use of this switch unnecessary.
• Whenever the brewer has been shut off or unplugged, fi ll the tank with
water and allow the water in the tank to heat to the proper temperature
before using (about fi fteen minutes or until the heating sound stops).
• Your BUNN
®
coffee brewer has a specially designed tank to keep the
water at the proper temperature. This constant supply of hot water assures
the correct method of brewing coffee, in less than three minutes.
• The brewed coffee fl ows into the decanter where it is kept at serving
temperature on the porcelain decanter warmer. The warmer is controlled
by the lighted on/off switch on the front of the brewer.
NOTE-
The warmer switch
only
only
controls the decanter warmer.
• While coffee is being brewed, the newest water in the tank is heated to
the proper temperature and held until needed.
• When the brewer is not in operation, the fl ip lid should remain closed.
Leaving the lid open may cause an unexpected drip of water from the
sprayhead when cold water is poured into the top of the brewer.
• The decanter lid reduces coffee evaporation and temperature loss.
• Use
CAUTION
when dispensing hot water from the brewer. The water
is approximately 50°F hotter than that available from your hot water
faucet and is always available for other uses.
• The brewer is equipped with a 120 volt, three prong grounded cord
set. The plug is provided with a round grounding pin. This is a safety
feature and allows the plug to fi t into a properly grounded outlet. If the
plug does not fi t into the outlet, contact an electrician to update your
outlet. Do not attempt to bypass the safety aspect of this plug.
• The sprayhead may periodically become loose. Using extreme caution
not to burn yourself, retighten the sprayhead with your fi nger tips.
NOTE-
A severe burn may result if the sprayhead becomes
loose and falls off while brewing.

When brewing has stopped, remove the brew funnel
and discard the fi lter and grounds. Do not touch hot
grounds.
NOTE:
Opening the lid during brew cycle will interrupt the fl ow of water into the tank,
but will not interrupt the brewing process. The brewed coffee already in the funnel
will empty into the decanter. When lid is closed, the fl ow of water into the funnel will
resume until the brewing cycle is complete.
WARNING:
Do not close the lid after pouring in water, without the decanter in place.
Closing the lid releases the hot water.
HOT WATER (USE WITH CAUTION)
The same basic steps can be used to obtain hot water by omitting the fi lter and coffee.
The water from your BUNN

coffee brewer is approximately 200° F. This
is hotter
than the hot water from your faucet and must be handled with care.

COFFEE FUNDAMENTALS
Brewing delicious coffee is similar to cooking any favorite food. Both require
a good recipe. Proper coffee making needs quality equipment to precisely control
water temperature, volume, and brew time. The BUNN
®
coffee brewer assures
consistency in your recipe by controlling all of these elements. The only variables
remaining in the recipe are the grind and amount of coffee used.
The amount of ground coffee is generally determined by the grind. For best
results, we recommend a drip (medium) grind.
Hot water extracts many elements from the coffee, some desirable, some not.
The amount of coffee used and the amount of water passed through the coffee
determines strength. Increasing the amount of coffee results in a stronger beverage.
Decreasing the amount of coffee with the same amount of water, results in a weaker
beverage. Too much water and too little coffee can result in over-extraction. Over-
extracting the coffee can cause an unwanted bitter taste.
As the amount of coffee decreases, you’ll note an increase in the bitterness of
the beverage. This happens because the hot water begins to remove the undesirable
elements after all of the desirable elements have been extracted.
Fresh ground coffee gives the best results. Always store ground coffee in a
cool, dry area away from other food items with strong odors. When stored in a
refrigerator, keep it in an airtight container.
BREWING TIPS
When properly brewed, the difference between the best quality ground coffee
and a poor quality ground coffee becomes very dramatic. Proper brewing requires
little effort with the BUNN
®
coffee brewer.
You’ll always have a great coffee experience if you follow these tips:
1) Always start with clean equipment.
2) Always use fresh cold water.
3) Always use BUNN
®
paper coffee fi lters for proper extraction.
4) Using a minimum of 2 ounces of fresh drip grind coffee for each full pot will
give you a consistently great pot of coffee with a full-bodied fl avor and aroma.
However, the real criteria is personal taste.
Adjust the recipe until it suits
you. If you need to make a smaller batch, experiment with less water
and ground coffee. Minimum batch is 4 cups as indicated on the
decanter.
5) Keep the beverage at the correct serving temperature by setting the decanter
on the porcelain warmer. For the freshest fl avor, don’t hold brewed coffee on
the warmer for longer than an hour.
DECANTER HANDLE MAINTENANCE
Using a standard screw driver, periodically tighten the screw in the handle. Be
careful not to overtighten the screw.

ROUTINE CLEANING
Rinsing the brew funnel and decanter after each use
is the only routine cleaning required. Occasionally, wipe
the outside of the brewer including the area above the
funnel with a damp cloth. (The brew funnel and decanter
are top-rack dishwasher safe.)
DELIMING
Periodically, you should delime the brewer to clear any
deposits that may have accumulated due to impurities in the water source.
NOTE-
Unplug the brewer and let it cool down before deliming.
1) Unscrew the sprayhead with your fi ngertips and set it
aside.
2) Insert all but two inches of the fl exible deliming tool
(supplied) into the sprayhead tube.
3) Slide the tool in and out fi ve or six times to loosen lime
in the sprayhead tube. Remove the tool.
4) Pour one decanter of fresh water into the brewer, set the
empty decanter on the warmer, and close the lid.
5) Check the holes in the sprayhead. If plugged with lime,
they may be cleared by using a toothpick. Clean the
sprayhead with a cloth and mild detergent. Rinse the
sprayhead with water before reinstalling.
6) Plug in the brewer and allow the water in the tank to
reheat before using. The frequency of
deliming depends
on the mineral content of your water.
PERIODIC CLEANING
(Recommended At Least Every Three Months
.)
1) Slide an empty brew funnel into the brewer under the warmer switch and
center an empty decanter on the warmer.
2) Pour one quart of
white vinegar

7) Grasp the back of the brewer and quickly turn it upside down over a sink as
shown. Most of the water in the tank will fl ow from the
sprayhead tube opening. Some water may fl ow from the
area around the top lid. Continue tipping the brewer until
the fl ow stops.
8) Replace the sprayhead and funnel after the water has been
drained. Pour a decanter of water into the top of the brewer.
Place the decanter on the warmer, close the lid. Repeat
this process with another decanter of water. Water will
fl ow out of the funnel after the second decanter. When
fl ow from the funnel has stopped, empty the decanter
and pour an additional decanter of water into the brewer.
Place the decanter on the warmer and close the lid.
9)
If you have not replaced the sprayhead and funnel. do
so now before proceeding.
Taste the water coming out of
the brewer. Pour additional decanters of fresh, cold water
into the brewer as needed until the water has no vinegar taste.
10) Plug in the brewer and allow the water in the tank to reach brewing temperature
before using. (Approximately 15 minutes.)
DRAINING THE BREWER
The water in your BUNN
®
Coffee Brewer should be emptied whenever it is
taken on a trip, shipped, or stored in an unheated location with a chance of freezing.
Follow steps 4-7 of the PERIODIC CLEANING section.
WATER QUALITY
Install a water conditioner if your water contains excessive amounts of sediment,
taste, or odors.
SOFTENED
WATER
/ DECAFFEINATED COFFEE
Use of decaffeinated coffee and/or softened water may cause the brewed coffee
to drain more slowly through the paper fi lter, occasionally resulting in an overfl ow
of grounds into the decanter. While this is not unusual in coffee brewing, it can
be avoided by using slightly less coffee, a coarser grind, or both. If the overfl ow
persists, please contact BUNN
®
to order a special sprayhead free of charge.
