INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING COFFEE

1. Before using coffeemaker for the first time, clean it thoroughly. Refer to Regular Cleaning Instructions in this booklet.

Caution: To prevent personal injury or electric shock, do not immerse coffee maker, its base, its cord or plug in water or other
liquid.

2. Always use coffee maker on a dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge. Be sure hands are dry.

3. With basket and stem removed, fill coffeemaker with COLD water to desired cup level. Marks on inside of coffeemaker

show cup levels. Do not fill past maximum cup level.

4. Place stem into heating unit well in bottom of coffeemaker, then put basket onto stem. To basket, add electric perk

ground coffee or coffee ground for all coffeemakers. See Chart for recommended amounts of ground coffee to use
depending on number of cups being made. A filter is not needed in the bottom of the basket. Spread grounds evenly in
basket. Use standard measuring cups t o measure co ffee. Do not let grounds fa ll into stem opening. Do not use “Drip”
or finely ground coffee as basket can flood. The amount of ground coffee recommended will make mild-strength coffee
which most people prefer. The amount of coffee used can be adjusted to suit your preference.
