Electric Cord Statement
CAUTION: Your coffeemaker has a short cord as a safety precaution to prevent personal injury or property
damage resulting from pulling, tripping or becoming entangled with the cord. Do not allow children to be
near or use this coffeemaker without adult supervision. If you must use a longer cordset or an extension
cord when using this coffeemaker, the cord must be arranged so it will not drape or hang over the edge of a
countertop, tabletop or surface area where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. To prevent
electric shock, personal injury or fire, the electrical rating of the extension cord you use must be the same
or more than the wattage of the coffeemaker (wattage is stamped on underside of base).
BEFORE USING THE FIRST TIME: Before using the coffeemaker for the first time, clean it
thoroughly. Refer to General Cleaning Instructions, Steps 1-4 in this leaflet.
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or property damage caused by fire, always unplug this and other
appliances when not in use.
Your coffeemaker is now ready to use.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING COFFEE
1. With basket and stem removed, fill coffeemaker with COLD water to desired level, using the cup
markings on inside of coffeemaker as guide. Do not make less than (4 or 5 cups) or more than
maximum (8 or 9 cups) amount of coffee at one time.
2. Place stem into heating unit in bottom of coffeemaker, then put basket on stem. Add electric perk or
regular grind coffee ground for all coffeemakers into basket using 1 level tablespoon per cup for mild
strength and 1 slightly rounded tablespoon per cup for strong strength. Do not use drip or finely
ground coffee as flooding of the basket can occur.
SPECIAL NOTE ON GRINDING COFFEE BEANS:
If grinding your own coffee beans, grind to medium coarseness for best results. DO NOT grind too fine
(powder-like) as this can cause basket to flood.
Be careful not to let ground coffee fall into stem. Spread coffee evenly into basket. The amount of coffee
can be adjusted to suit your preference.
• SPECIAL NOTES: The basket does not have a perforated cover as the coffeemaker cover is
designed to spread water evenly over the coffee grounds. In addition, the bottom of the basket is
designed with a built-in filter, therefore a paper filter is not needed. If you prefer to double filter your
coffee, a paper filter can be used, just be sure it fits into the bottom of the basket. The water level
markings represent 5-1/2 ounces for each cup of coffee. This amount of water will ensure a standard 5-
ounce cup of brewed coffee as some water is absorbed by the grounds and some is lost in steam.
3. Secure cover on coffeemaker. Your coffeemaker will feature a lever-secured cover. For the lever-
secured cover, position cover into opening of coffeemaker while pressing lever down on top of handle.
Release lever to secure cover in place. See Diagram.
