GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
- WASH BEFORE USING. Before using the unit for the first time and after each use, wash the coffee basket, percolating tube, and interior of the coffee maker with warm, spray water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Wipe exterior with a damp cloth. NEVER IMMERSE BASE IN WATER.
- MEASURE WATER. Remove cover, coffee basket, and percolating tube and fill coffeemaker with fresh, cold water to desired fill line. Do not fill the coffee maker past the top fill line. Never use hot water to make coffee.
- MEASURE COFFEE. Wet bottom coffee basket to prevent grounds from filtering into brewed coffee. Measure the appropriate amount of Coffee (See chart) into the coffee basket and set the coffee basket on the percolating tube. Position bottom of percolating tube into heating well, but DO NOT FORCE IT. Place cover on coffeemaker (no separate plate is necessary since cover operates as water spreader).
COFFEE MEASURING GUIDE
- CUPS (5 oz. serving) GROUND COFFEE (8oz. dry measure)
- 10-12 1 1/4cups
- 18-24 1 12cups
- 28-30 2 cups
- 36 2 1/4cups
- 42-50 2 1/2cups
These are recommended amounts only –coffee strength can be adjusted to
personal taste by adding or subtracting from those quantities. Allow
approximately 1 1/2 minutes per cup brewing time. Voltage changes or
variations in water temperature will affect brewing time. NEVER MAKE LESS THAN
THE MINIMUM CAPACITY OR MORE THAN THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY OF YOUR COFFEEMAKER.
TWIST TO SECURE COVER.
Before brewing, please cover on the coffeemaker and turn to secure in handle
slots. Note arrows on cover for correct turning. To remove the cover, reverse
the procedure and lift. BEGIN BREWING. Plug cord into any AC outlet. Use
110-120V only. Signal light glows when coffee is ready to serve. After
brewing, the Coffee maker automatically switches to low heat and will keep
coffee at proper serving temperature until the unit is unplugged. The coffee
maker stops brewing automatically but will remain at serving temperature as
long as the coffeemaker is connected to an outlet. Push the lever down on the
faucet and hold until the cup is filled; release and it shuts off
automatically. For continuous pouring (to fill large carafe or server), pull
forward to “lock” into place. To stop, push back, and return the lever to a
regular serving position
HELPFUL HINTS
- Make at least 12 cups at one time to ensure the best coffee flavor. Never make less than the minimum capacity or more than the maximum capacity of your coffeemaker.
- Use regular coffee grounds for all coffeemakers for best results. Do not use drip or finely ground coffee as flooding of the coffee basket can occur. If grinding your own coffee beans, grind to medium coarseness for best results. Do not grind too fine (powder-like) as this can cause the coffee basket to flood.
- Before using for the first time and after each use, wash the coffee basket, percolating tube, and interior of the coffeemaker with warm, soapy water. Do not immerse base in water. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry. Wipe exterior with a damp cloth and dry. Before cleaning, unplug the unit and pour out any remaining coffee.
- To clean the cover, coffee stains on the underside may be removed by scouring with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleanser.
- Clean the faucet after each use by pouring hot water into the coffeemaker and running through the faucet.
- The percolating tube should be frequently cleaned with a long, narrow brush to remove mineral deposits that may impair the unit’s operation. The oily coffee residue will also affect the flavor of the next pot of coffee.
- The heating well of the coffeemaker should be cleaned thoroughly with an abrasive pad. Rinse thoroughly and dry. This will remove mineral deposits that may affect the coffee maker’s
- Operation and eventually cause the percolating tube to stick in the heating well and break.
- To remove discolorations caused by coffee stains, oils, and mineral deposits, clean inside of coffeemaker frequently by filing unit to top fill line with cold water. Add 1/2 cup cream of tartar, insert percolating tube, and the empty coffee basket. Cover unit and plug into a wall outlet. When the brewing cycle is completed, unplug the unit, allow it to cool, and discard contents. Wash and rinse coffee basket, percolating tube, and inside of coffeemaker thoroughly. If a coffeemaker is used daily, this procedure should be followed every two weeks.
- If a coffeemaker is used daily, a special cleaning every 2 weeks is necessary to remove mineral deposits. Fill coffeemaker with 1 quart each of water and distilled vinegar. (If a white mineral buildup has formed inside the unit, use an additional 2 cups of vinegar.) Please stem and empty coffee basket in place, secure cover and plugin. Allow the coffeemaker to complete the brewing cycle, then let stand 10-15 minutes. Unplug and drain the coffeemaker. Allow to cool and follow general cleaning instructions.
WARNING! If cleaning instructions are not followed, the operation of this unit may be seriously impaired. Do not wash coffeemaker parts in an automatic dishwasher.
CARE & CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
- Remove the coffee basket and ground as soon as the brewing cycle is completed. This is also helping maintain coffee flavor. Use coffee maker cover as a carrying tray when disposing of wet basket and coffee grounds.
- Before brewing a second pot, cool the coffeemaker by rinsing it thoroughly with code water. If dripping occurs between the faucet and the coffeemaker body, tighten the nut inside the coffee maker. If the dripping occurs from the faucet spout, tighten the faucet bonnet.
