IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Use electricity safely and wisely. Observe safety precautions when using your coffeemaker including the following:

•Read all instructions before using.

•Always attach plug to coffeemaker first, then plug cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, remove plug from wall outlet. Let coffeemaker cool before removing cord.

•Do not leave coffeemaker plugged in when not in use.

•Do not let cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of a counter, table or other surface area.

•Coffeemaker should always be unplugged and allowed to cool before cleaning.

•Make sure cover, basket, stem and cord are properly attached before cof- feemaker is plugged in. (See instructions.) No part of the coffeemaker should be removed during the brewing cycle. Scalding may occur.

•Your coffeemaker, its cord and plugs, should not be immersed in liquids, placed near a hot electric or gas burner, or in a heated oven.

•Coffeemaker should not be used outdoors.

•Do not touch hot coffeemaker. Use handles or knob.

•Supervise closely when coffeemaker is used by or near children.

•Use your coffeemaker only for the uses described in this booklet. Do not use attachments with your coffeemaker unless recommended by The West Bend Company.

•Do not use your coffeemaker if it or its cord are damaged or not working properly. Return it to The West Bend Company for examination and/or repair.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Your party perk needs no special care other than cleaning. If servicing becomes necessary, please return your coffeemaker to The West Bend Company. See warranty section in this leaflet for service details. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.

WARNING: To prevent personal injury or property damage caused by fire, always unplug this and other appliances when not in use.

WARNING: This appliance may contain substances known to the State of California to cause can- cer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

For household use only.

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 rat- ing 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 electric shock, do not immerse coffeemaker, its cord or plugs in water or other liquid.

CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or property damage, inspect cordset for damage or wear before each use. Do not use your product if it or its cord have been damaged or if it is not working properly.

5.Coffeemaker stops perking automatically. (Each cup of coffee requires about 1 minute brewing time.) Serving light will glow when coffee is ready. Before serving, use a hot pad to remove cover, then carefully remove stem and basket from coffeemaker as coffee and grounds are HOT. If not removed, bitter oils from the coffee grounds will drip into coffee. Replace the cover making sure it is completely secured into the handle slots.

6.Coffee will remain at serving temperature as long as coffeemaker is connected to outlet. (If you have an insulated coffeemaker, the sealed-air insulation will keep coffee hot for up to two hours without electricity.) To serve, place cup and saucer under faucet and press down on handle. If a continuous flow is desired to fill a carafe, lift handle straight up until it locks into open position. When approximately one cup of coffee remains in coffeemaker, disconnect from outlet.

•TO MAKE MORE COFFEE:

If another pot of coffee is desired right away, partially fill coffeemaker with cold water to reset the thermostat. Pour out water, refill with cold water and repeat above steps.

•TO REHEAT COLD COFFEE:

There must be at least 3 cups of coffee in the coffeemaker for reheating. Replace clean stem and basket (without grounds) so the coffee will heat more evenly, preventing harsh flavors. Secure cover and plug in. Reheated coffee never tastes as good as fresh perked, so try to brew only the amount you plan to serve.

•TO HEAT WATER FOR INSTANT BEVERAGES:

Plain water may be heated in your coffeemaker for use with instant beverages. Simply fill the clean coffeemaker with cold water to the desired cup level, then place the stem and empty coffee basket in place as for making coffee. Using the stem and empty basket will heat the water more uniformly. Secure cover in place and plug coffeemaker in. Heat water until perking stops and serving light comes on. Unplug coffeemaker when less than 1 cup remains.

Other than making coffee or heating water, no other liquid should be heated in coffeemaker as dam- age to heating unit can occur.

When coffeemaker is used to heat water only, the metal inside will discolor which is normal and does not affect performance or the water heated in the coffeemaker. Refer to “Special Cleaning Instructions” in this leaflet for removing discoloration as well as mineral deposits which form inside the coffeemaker when heating water. If these deposits are not removed, pitting of the metal inside may occur and result in damage to coffeemaker. Refer to the care and cleaning instructions as follows:

•CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS — After Each Use

Improper cleaning of the coffeemaker, especially the heating unit well, will affect perfor- mance of the coffeemaker, resulting in weak, lukewarm coffee and may even cause the cof- feemaker to stop perking. To keep your coffeemaker working properly, it is important to fol- low the cleaning instructions below:

1. Unplug coffeemaker and allow to cool before cleaning.

CAUTION: To prevent personal injury or electric shock, do not immerse coffeemaker, its cord or plugs in water or other liquid.

2.Clean basket, stem and cover in hot soapy water with a dish- cloth, rinse and dry. Coffee stains on underside of cover or stem may be removed by scouring with a damp cloth and a

non-abrasive cleanser such as Bon Ami or Soft Scrub .
3. Clean inside of coffeemaker by filling with hot water until
about one-third full. Add a small amount of liquid dishwash-
ing detergent and wash with a dishcloth or sponge. Then clean
the heating unit well (where stem fits) with a scouring pad,		Clean Heating
such as Scotch Brite or Brillo	, to remove coffee residue.	Unit Well

feemaker will not perform properly. See diagram.

4.After cleaning inside of coffeemaker, drain and rinse inside. Clean faucet by letting clear water run through it into sink, while moving faucet handle up and down. Drain water from inside of cof- feemaker and dry.

5.Clean outside of coffeemaker with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive metal scouring pads or cleansers on outside of coffeemaker as scratching will occur.

DO NOT WASH COFFEEMAKER PARTS IN AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER.

•SPECIAL CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

To Remove Mineral Deposits

If coffeemaker is used daily, a special cleaning every 2 weeks OR every week if used for heating water, is necessary. Fill coffeemaker with 1 quart each of water and white distilled vinegar. (If a white mineral buildup has formed on inside of coffeemaker, use an additional 2 cups of vinegar.) Place stem and empty coffee basket in place, secure cover onto coffeemaker and plug in. Allow cof- feemaker to complete perking cycle, then let stand for 10 to 15 minutes. Unplug and drain cof- feemaker. Allow to cool and follow general cleaning instructions.

To Remove Discoloration

Inside of coffeemaker can discolor when used for heating water which is normal. To remove/lighten discoloration, fill coffeemaker with water to the level of discoloration (at least to the 12 cup level, but not past maximum cup level). Place stem and empty basket in place. For every 12 cups of water added to coffeemaker, add 2 teaspoons cream of tartar to basket. Secure cover onto coffeemaker, plug cord into outlet and allow coffeemaker to complete perk cycle. Then let stand for 15 to 20 minutes or until discoloration is lightened. Unplug cord and drain cof- feemaker. Allow to cool and follow general cleaning instructions.

Do not use baking soda to clean coffeemaker as it will discolor inside metal.

After frequent use, coffee residue may collect inside faucet. To clean, unscrew top half of faucet. Move a small brush up and down through faucet, then insert brush through opening inside cof-

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 12 or more than maximum capacity of coffeemaker at one time.

2. Place stem into heating unit in bottom of coffeemaker, then put basket on stem. Spread the recommended amount of ground coffee evenly into the basket. See chart. Use regular electric perk grind coffee or coffee ground for all coffeemakers for best results. Do not use drip or finely ground coffee as flooding of the basket can occur.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

Replacement parts for the Coffeemaker may be obtained directly from the company’s Customer Service Department. Write or call to the address below.

•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. Use standard measuring cups to measure coffee. Do not allow ground coffee to fall into stem. The amount of coffee recommended will produce mild coffee which most people prefer. The amount of coffee used can be adjusted to suit your preference.

Water Level	Amount of Ground Coffee		Water Level	Amount of Groud Coffee
42 Cups	21/2 Cups		24 Cups	11/2 Cups
36 Cups	2	Cups	22 Cups	11/2 Cups
30 Cups	13/4	Cups	18 Cups	11/4 Cups
28 Cups	12/3 Cups		12 Cups	1 Cup

As a guide, there are about 5 cups of ground coffee to a pound (16 oz.).

Special Notes: The water level markings represent about 51/2 ounces for each cup of coffee being made. 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.

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 fil- ter, therefore a paper filter is not needed. If you prefer, a paper filter can be used; just be sure it fits into the bottom of the basket.

3.Turn cover in place on coffeemaker. To reduce coffee spills, especially if coffeemaker is tipped over, make sure cover has been turned clockwise until it is completely secured in the handle slots. (Note the arrows on the cover for correct turning.) The cover temporarily reduces coffee spillage if cof- feemaker is tipped over, so care should be used when moving coffeemaker.

4.Place coffeemaker on a dry, level surface. Attach cord to coffeemaker and plug into a 120 volt AC electrical outlet ONLY.
