GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For your protection, the Waring™ Commercial 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.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE (OR BACK) NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE
REPAIR SHOULD BE DONE BY AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated, dangerous voltage within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of fire or electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

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. 14
    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 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 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 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.
