flow is desired to fill a carafe, lift handle straight up until it locks into open position. When
approximately one cup of coffee remains in coffeemaker, disconnect from outlet.
•TO MAKE MORE COFFEE:
If another pot of coffee is desired right away, partially fill coffeemaker with cold water to reset the
thermostat. Pour out water, refill cold water and repeat above steps.
•TO REHEAT COLD COFFEE:
There must be at least 3 cups of coffee in the coffeemaker for reheating. Replace clean stem and
basket (without grounds) so the coffee will heat more evenly, preventing harsh flavors. Secure cover
and plug in. Reheated coffee never tastes as good as fresh perked, so try to brew only the amount you
plant to serve.
•TO HEAT 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, then place the stem and empty coffee basket in
place as for making coffee. Using the stem and empty basket will heat the water more uniformly.
Secure cover in place and plug coffeemaker in. Heat water until perking stops and serving light
comes on. Unplug coffeemaker when less than 1cup remains.
Other than making coffee or heating water, no other liquid should be heated in coffeemaker as damage
to heating unit can occur.
When coffeemaker is used to heat water only, the metal inside will discolor which is normal and does
not affect performance or the water heated in the coffeemaker. Refer to “Special Cleaning
Instructions” in this leaflet for removing discoloration as well as mineral deposits which form inside
the coffeemaker when heating water. If these deposits are not removed, pitting of the metal inside
may occur and result in damage to coffeemaker. Refer to care and cleaning instructions as follows:
•CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS – After Each Use
Improper cleaning of the coffeemaker, especially the heating unit well, will affect performance of
the coffeemaker, resulting in weak, lukewarm coffee and may even cause the coffeemaker to stop
perking. To keep your coffeemaker working properly, it is important to follow the cleaning
instructions below:
1. Unplug coffeemaker and allow to cool before cleaning.
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or electrical shock, do not immerse coffeemaker, its cord or plugs in
water or other liquid
2. Clean basket, stem and cover in hot soapy water with a dishcloth, rinse and dry. Coffee stains on
underside of cover or stem may be removed by scouring with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive
cleanser such as Bon Amior Soft Scrub.
3. Clean inside of coffeemaker by filling with hot water until about one-
third full. Add a small amount of liquid dishwashing detergent and
wash with a dishcloth or sponge. Then clean the heating unit well
(where stem fits) with a scouring pad, such as Scotch Briteor
Brillo
, to remove coffee residue. Twist pad inside heating unit
well to clean thoroughly. IMPORTANT: If heating
unit well is not kept clean, coffeemaker will not perform properly.
See diagram.
4. After cleaning inside of coffeemaker, drain and rinse inside. Clean faucet by letting clear water run
through it into sink, while moving faucet handle up and down. Drain water from inside of
coffeemaker and dry.
5. Clean outside of coffeemaker with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive metal
scouring pads or cleansers on outside of coffeemaker as scratching will occur. DO NOT WASH
COFFEEMAKER PARTS IN AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.
