IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Follow these basic safety precautions when using electrical appliances to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or personal injury:
• Read all instructions.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use
handles or knobs.
• Do not place cord, plugs, or brewer
in water or liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when
the brewer is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use
and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and
before cleaning.
• Do not operate the brewer with a
damaged cord or plug or after the
brewer malfunctions, or has been
damaged in any manner. Return the
brewer to an Authorized Service Facility for examination, adjustment, or
repair. (Refer to page 10.)
• The use of an accessory not evaluated for use with this brewer may
cause injuries.
• For household use only. Do not use
outdoors.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of
table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place the brewer on or near a
hot gas or electric burner, or in a
heated oven.
• Do not use brewer for other than its
intended use.
• Do not place or remove funnel, decanter, or decanter lid while brewing.
• The decanter is designed for use with
this brewer. It must never be used on
a range top or in a microwave.
• Do not set a hot decanter on a cold
surface.
• Do not use a cracked decanter or a
decanter having a loose or weakened
handle.
• Do not clean decanter with cleansers,
steel wool pads, or other abrasive
materials.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
•A short power supply cord is used to reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the brewer and the cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

PREPARING THE BREWER FOR USE
NOTE: THE BREWER IS NOT READY TO PLUG IN
Raise the hinged flip lid.
Place the decanter on the warmer. Pour two pitchers of water
(filled to the top line) into the screened area on top of the brewer.
Wait two minutes between pitchers to allow the water to fill the
tank. When the tank is full, some water will flow through the
funnel and into the decanter.
Close the lid and plug in the brewer.
Press the bottom of the vacation switch, located on
the lower left side of the brewer, to the “ON” position.
The vacation switch controls power to the tank heater.
Initially you will have to wait approximately ten minutes in order for water to reach brew temperature.

BREWING DELICIOUS COFFEE
Insert a Bunn® coffee filter into the brew funnel. (Be sure
to use Bunn® coffee filters for proper brewing. There is a
difference.)
Measure coffee into the filter and gently shake to level the
bed of grounds.
Make sure that the sprayhead is tight. Slide the brew funnel into the brewer under the warmer switch. Snap the decanter cover in the decanter and place the decanter on the
warmer beneath the brew funnel. Place the lighted warmer
switch in the “ON” position.
Raise the hinged flip-lid and pour water into the top of
the brewer. The water pitcher, supplied, will yield approximately eight 6 ounce cups of brewed coffee when filled to
the top line. Your Bunn® Pour-Omatic® will begin brewing
coffee immediately.
When brewing has stopped, remove the brew funnel and
discard the filter and grounds. Do not touch hot grounds.
HOT WATER
The same basic steps can be used to obtain hot water by omitting the filter and
coffee and using the enclosed hot water funnel. The hot water from your Bunn
coffee brewer is approximately 200˚F. This is hotter than the hot water from your
faucet and must be handled with care.

COFFEE FUNDAMENTALS
Brewing delicious coffee is similar to cooking any favorite food. Both require a
good recipe. Proper coffee-making needs quality equipment to precisely control
water temperature, volume, and brew time. The Bunn® coffee brewer assures consistency in your recipe by controlling all of these elements. The only variables remaining in the recipe are the grind and amount of coffee used.
The amount of ground coffee is generally determined by the grind. For best re-
sults, we recommend a drip (medium) grind.
Hot water extracts many elements from the ground coffee, some desirable, some
not. The taste and aroma are referred to as strength, the acidity as bitterness. Increasing the amount of coffee results in a stronger beverage, and decreasing it results in a weaker beverage.
As the amount of ground coffee decreases, you’ll note an increase in the bitter-
ness of the beverage. This happens because the hot water begins to remove the
undesirable elements such as acidity after all of the desirable tastes and aroma have
been removed.
Fresh ground coffee gives the best results. Always store the ground coffee in a
coo, dry area away from other food items with strong odors. When stored in a
refrigerator, keep it in an airtight container.
BREWING TIPS
When properly brewed, the difference between the best quality ground coffee
and a poor quality ground coffee becomes very dramatic. Proper brewing requires
little effort with the Bunn® Pour-Omatic® coffee brewer.
You’ll always have a great coffee experience if you follow these tips:
1) Always start with clean equipment.
2) Always use fresh cold water.
3) Always use Bunn® paper coffee filters for proper extraction.
4) Using 2 ounces of fresh drip grind coffee for each full pot (4 oz) will give you a
consistently great pot of coffee with a full-bodied flavor and aroma. However, the
real criteria is personal taste. Adjust the recipe until it suits you. If you need to
make a smaller batch, experiment with less water and ground coffee.
5) Keep the beverage at the correct serving temperature by setting the decanter on
the porcelain warmer. For the freshest flavor, don’t keep brewed coffee for longer
than an hour.

ROUTINE CLEANING
Rinsing the brew funnel and decanter after each use
is the only routine cleaning required. Occasionally, wipe
the outside of the brewer including the area above the
funnel with a damp cloth. (The brew funnel, hot water
funnel and decanter are top rack dishwasher safe.)
9
DRAINING THE BREWER
The water in your Bunn® Coffee Brewer should be emptied whenever it is taken
on a trip, shipped, or stored in an unheated location with a chance of freezing.
