1. With basket and stem removed, fill coffeemaker with COLD water to desired level
using the cup markings on inside of coffeemaker as a guide. Do not make less
than 12 or more than maximum capacity of the coffeemaker at one time.
2. Place stem into heating unit in bottom of coffeemaker, then put basket on stem.
Spread the recommended amount of ground coffee evenly into the basket. See
chart. Use regular electric perk grind coffee or coffee ground for all coffeemakers.
Do not use drip or finely ground coffee as flooding of the basket can occur.
3. Turn cover in place on coffeemaker. To reduce coffee spills, especially if
coffeemaker is tipped over, make sure cover has been turned clockwise until it is
completely secured in the handle slots. (Note the arrows on the cover for correct
turning.) The cover temporarily reduces coffee spilage if coffeemaker is tipped
over, so care should be used when moving coffeemaker.
4. Place coffeemaker on a dry, level surface. Attach cord to coffeemaker and plug
into a 120 volt AC electrical outlet ONLY.
5. Coffeemaker stops perking automatically. (Each cup of coffee requires about 1
minute brewing time) Serving light will glow when coffee is ready. Before serving,
use a hot pad to remove cover, then carefully remove stem and basket from
coffeemaker as coffee and grounds are HOT. If not removed, bitter oils from the
coffee grounds will drip into coffee. Replace the cover making sure it is
completely secured into the handle slots.
6. Coffee will remain at serving temperature as long as coffeemaker is connected to
outlet. (if you have an insulated coffeemaker, the sealed-air insulation will keep
coffee hot for up to two hours without electricity.) To serve, place cup and saucer
under faucet and press down on handle. If a continuous 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 with cold
water and repeat steps 1-6.
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, and then place the stem and empty coffee
basket in place. 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 1 cup
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 manual 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 the cleaning your coffeemaker section.
