SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING COFFEE 1. Before using the coffeemaker for the first time, clean it thoroughly. Refer to "Cleaning your Coffeemaker." 2. Always use the coffeemaker on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge. 3. With the basket and stem removed, fill the coffeemaker with COLD water to just above the faucet. Check for any dripping. If dripping occurs between the faucet and the coffeemaker body, tighten the nut inside the coffeemaker. If the dripping occurs from the faucet spout, tighten the faucet bonnet. If there is no dripping present, or has been stopped, fill the coffeemaker with cold water to the desired cup level. Marks on inside of the coffeemaker show cup levels. Do not fill past maximum cup level. 4. Place the stem and basket in the coffeemaker. For models with a plastic basket, you may find it easier to insert the stem in the opening in the basket then squeeze the top of the basket to hold the stem in place. Place the stem into the heating well in the bottom of the coffeemaker. Or, place the stem into the heating unit well, angle the stem away from you, then place the basket on the stem. When they're connected, let the basket and stem tip upright. Add electric perk or regular grind coffee to the basket using the chart below for the amount to use depending on the cup level. Spread the grounds evenly in the basket. Use standard measuring cups to measure the grounds. Do not let any grounds fall into the stem opening. Do not use "Drip" or finely ground coffee because the basket can flood. The amount of ground coffee recommended will make mildstrength coffee which most people prefer. The amount of coffee used can be adjusted to suit your preference. 5. Place the cover on the coffeemaker and turn to lock into the handle slots. Note the arrows on the cover for correct turning. To reduce coffee spills, especially if the coffeemaker is tipped over, make sure that the cover has been turned clockwise until the cover is completely locked into the handle slots. Note: While moving an appliance containing hot liquids is not recommended, if you must move the coffeemaker, extreme caution should be used because the cover only temporarily reduces coffee from spilling if the coffeemaker is tipped over. 6. Plug the cord into a 120 volt AC grounded electric outlet ONLY. If applicable, set the "ON/OFF" switch to "ON." 7. The coffeemaker will stop perking automatically (each cup requires no longer than 1 minute brewing time). Coffee is ready when the light in the base glows. Coffee will remain at serving temperature as long as the coffeemaker is plugged in (and the switch is "ON"). Before serving, turn the cover to remove the basket and stem. Using a hot pad, remove the coffee basket, and stem. If the coffee basket and stem are not removed, bitter oils from the extracted grounds will drip into the coffee. Replace the cover making sure it is completely locked into the handle slots. 3
