“Thank you for purchasing a Ginny’s Brand Double
Coffeemaker. With two 12-cup carafes, you’ll easily
keep enough piping-hot coffee on hand and be able
to serve two different choices: regular and decaf,
Columbian and hazelnut—or even plain hot water
for tea and cocoa. Drinks will stay nice and hot, too,
thanks to burners that stay on until YOU turn them
off. And for those quieter days, separate control
switches let you brew just one delicious pot. Enjoy!”

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a
safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit 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 modify
the plug in any way.

becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long detachable power cord or extension cord is used:

HINTS FOR GREAT-TASTING
COFFEE
Filling the Water Reservoir:
•Openthehingedwaterreservoircoverlocatedatthetopofthecoffeemaker.
Fill the glass carafe with the desired amount of cold water. Empty the water from
the carafe into the corresponding water reservoir on the side of the coffee pot
that you want to use to brew. The water window indicates how much water is in
the container. Close the hinged lid. Place the glass carafe with the lid in place
on the warming plate.
NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee after the brewing process will always be
slightly less than the amount of water placed into the coffeemaker, since
some water is absorbed by the coffee grounds and filter. Add a little extra
water at the beginning of the brewing process so that you have the exact
number of cups desired.
Putting Coffee Grounds in Your Coffeemaker:
•Swingthelterbasketdooroutward.Eachcoffeemakercomeswitha

Pour the solution into the water reservoir, then close the lid. Place the carafe on

decalcifying, do not use a filter in the filter basket. When the vinegar solution has
finished brewing, allow the carafe and vinegar solution to cool completely. Empty
the carafe and rinse it out with cold water. Refill the water reservoir with cold
water only, and run another brew cycle to remove any remaining vinegar solution.
