INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING COFFEE
1. Before using the coffeemaker for the first time, clean it thoroughly. Refer to
Cleaning Instructions.
2. Always use the coffeemaker on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from
any edge. Be sure hands are dry.
3. With the basket and stem removed, fill the coffeemaker with COLD water to the
desired cup level. Marks on inside of the coffeemaker show cup levels. Do not
fill past maximum cup level.
4. Place the stem into the heating unit well in the bottom of the coffeemaker, then
put the basket on the stem. Add electric perk or regular grind coffee to the
basket using the chart below for the amount to use depending on the cup level.
Spread the grounds evenly in the basket. Use standard measuring cups to
measure the grounds. Do not let any grounds fall into the stem opening. Do not
use “Drip” or finely ground coffee because the basket can flood. The amount of
ground coffee recommended will make mild-strength coffee which most people
prefer. The amount of coffee used can be adjusted to suit your preference.
5. Place the cover on the coffeemaker and turn to lock into the handle slots. Note
the arrows on the cover for correct turning. To reduce coffee spills, especially if
the coffeemaker is tipped over, make sure that the cover has been turned
clockwise until the cover is completely locked into the handle slots. Note: While
moving an appliance containing hot liquids is not recommended, if you must
move the coffeemaker, extreme caution should be used because the cover only
temporarily reduces coffee from spilling if the coffeemaker is tipped over.
6. Plug the cord into a 120 volt AC grounded electric outlet ONLY. Turn the switch
“ON” for models 13500 and 33600.
7. The coffeemaker will stop perking automatically (each cup requires no longer
than 1 minute brewing time). Coffee is ready when the light in the base glows.
Coffee will remain at serving temperature as long as the coffeemaker is plugged
in (and the switch is “ON”). Before serving, turn the cover to remove the basket
and stem. Using a hot pad, remove the coffee basket, and stem. If the coffee
basket and stem are not removed, bitter oils from the extracted grounds will drip
into the coffee. Replace the cover making sure it is completely locked into the
handle slots.
