GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For your protection, the WaringTM Commercial Pour-Over Coffee Brewer is equipped with a 3-conductor cord set that has a molded 3-prong grounding-type plug, and should be used in combination with a properly connected grounding- type outlet, as shown in Figure 1. If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an adapter, shown in Figure 2, may be obtained so that a 2-slot wall outlet can be used with a 3-prong plug. Referring to Figure 3, the adapter must be grounded by attaching its grounding lug under the screw of the outlet cover plate.

CAUTION: Before using an adapter, it must be determined that the outlet cover plate screw is properly grounded. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician. Never use an adapter unless you are sure it is properly grounded.
NOTE: Use of an adapter is not permitted in Canada.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
If a longer, detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK)
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE
REPAIR SHOULD BE DONE BY AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY

NOTE: This equipment must be installed in compliance with applicable federal, state and/or local electrical codes having jurisdiction. Do not use extension cords. Make sure that the outlet is properly grounded.

  1. Check rating marking on coffeemaker nameplate to be sure electric lines match voltage, phase, and amperage requirements of coffeemaker. Select the proper cord and cord grip for electrical rating of the coffeemaker.
  2. For U.S., 120V coffeemakers are provided with a 120V/15A grounding plug.

INSTALLATION

CAUTION: The brewer must be disconnected from the power source throughout the initial setup, except when specified in the instructions.

  1. Insert an empty brew basket into the rails.
  2. Place an empty decanter under the brew basket.
  3. Make sure the heater switch (left ROCKER SWITCH) is in the OFF position (down) and connect the brewer to the power source.

INITIAL START-UP BEFORE BREWING COFFEE

For initial start-up, or if the brewer has not been used for an extended period of time, please follow the steps below:

  1. Place an empty decanter under the brew basket.
  2. Make sure the left rocker switch is in the OFF position (down).
  3. Pour one 64 oz. carafe of water into the screened pour-over opening. Make sure water does not pass max fill line. The water will cycle through the machine. Some water may flow into the carafe.
  4. Turn power ON via the left rocker switch. This will brew out the water.
  5. Once complete, discard water. Brewer is now ready for use in accordance with the coffee brewing instructions.

COFFEE BREWING

  1. Insert a filter paper into the brew basket.
  2. Place appropriate amount of ground coffee into the filter and level the bed of grounds by gently shaking.
  3. Slide the brew basket into the rails.
  4. Place an empty decanter beneath the brew basket.
  5. Pour 64 ounces of tap water into the screened area of the pourover opening on top of the brewer.
  6. Press the left rocker switch into the up position to activate the lower warmer and start the brew cycle. Allow 1 to 2 minutes for 64 ounces of water to heat up. NOTE: Red light in switch indicates when unit is turned on.
  7. Use the right rocker switch to activate the upper warmer if needed.
  8. Hot water will be delivered through the spray head. This distributes the hot water evenly over the coffee bed within the 8 brew basket. The brewed coffee will drain from the brew basket into the decanter below.
  9. Once brewing is complete, the green Ready light will illuminate.
  10. Simply discard the grounds and filter.
  11. TURN OFF WARMERS WHEN NOT IN USE. NOTE: When switches are off, brewing is disabled.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

ALWAYS DISCONNECT OR UNPLUG THE COFFEE BREWER BEFORE CLEANING. Allow the brewer to cool completely before handling or before cleaning.

  1. The use of a damp cloth rinsed in any mild, nonabrasive liquid detergent is recommended for cleaning all surfaces on Waring equipment.
    a. DO NOT use any cleaning fluids that can be harmful to you, others around you, or to the environment.
    b. DO NOT hose down, immerse or pressure wash any part of the coffee brewer.
    c. NEVER use steel wool or abrasive materials to clean the coffee brewer.
    NOTE: All sanitizing agents in the food zone must comply with U.S. Food & Drug Administration Code of Federal Regulations Title 21, Section 178.1010. Sanitize all food-dispensing units periodically. All parts to be sanitized must be cleaned first. Cleaning and sanitizing frequency must follow state and local health department regulations.
    NOTE: Do not use cleansers, bleach liquids, powders, or any other substance containing chlorine. These products promote corrosion and will pit the stainless steel. USE OF THESE PRODUCTS WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

  2. Check and clean the spray head underneath the front panel. The spray-head holes must always remain open.

  3. To remove the spray head from the brew head, follow the instructions below.

  4. If brew basket is in place, remove it in order to access the spray head.

  5. Once brew basket has been removed, reach under the brew head and grab spray head with hand. NOTE: Make sure unit is completely cooled.

  6. Gently but firmly pull down on the spray head to unlatch it.

  7. Wipe inside of brew head and area around the brew head with a soft, clean cloth or sponge moistened with clean water.

  8. Wash the spray head in a sink using warm water and a mild detergent. A soft bristle brush may be used to clear clogged spray holes. Rinse the spray disk with clean water and allow to air-dry.

  9. Once dry, reinstall the spray head under the brew head.

  10. It’s recommended to clean the spray head at the end of every service week.

  11. Wash the brew basket in a sink using warm water and a mild detergent. A soft bristle brush may be used to clean the inside. Rinse with clean water and allow to air-dry.
    NOTE: In hard-water areas, this may need to be done more frequently. It will help prevent liming problems in the brewer, and takes less than a minute to complete.
