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 and place
stem and clean empty basket into position as for making coffee. Secure cover in
place and plug coffeemaker in. Also turn switch to “ON” position for models 13500
and 33600. Heat water until perking stops and light on base glows. Remove cover,
lift out basket and stem, with a hot pad, and replace cover, making sure it is secured
in place. Unplug coffeemaker when less than 3 cups of water remain. Inside of
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
coffeemaker as damage to heating unit can occur.
When a coffeemaker is used to heat water only, it must be cleaned well after each
use in addition to special weekly cleaning with white distilled vinegar for removal of
mineral deposits. If these deposits are not removed, pitting of the metal can occur
and result in damage to the coffeemaker. See Special Cleaning Instructions in this
booklet.
Improper cleaning of coffeemaker, especially the heating well, will affect the
performance, resulting in weak, lukewarm coffee and may even cause
coffeemaker to stop perking. To keep coffeemaker working properly, it is very
important to follow the regular and special cleaning instructions.
Regular cleaning—after each use
1. Unplug coffeemaker and allow to cool. Drain any coffee out of the
coffeemaker.
2. Wash basket, stem and cover in hot soapy water with a dishcloth or sponge.
Rinse and dry. Coffee stains on metal can be removed with a scouring pad.
Do Not Clean These Parts In Dishwasher As They Can Discolor.
3. Clean inside of coffee maker by filling with hot water about one-third its
capacity. Add dish soap and wash with sponge or cloth. Scour heating unit well
(into which stem fits) with special cleaning tool provided and scouring pad such
as Scotch Brite® or Brillo®. Twist pad inside unit well to clean. Heating unit
well must be kept clean for coffeemaker to work properly. Rinse with hot
water after cleaning and dry.
4. Clean outside of coffeemaker with damp cloth and dry with soft cloth. Do not
use abrasive metal scouring pads or cleansers on outside of coffeemaker as
scratching will occur.
