To prevent electrical shock, personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions and warnings.
Electricity Precautions
• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric parts in water or other liquids.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.
• Do not use this appliance outdoors.
• Be sure switch is turned to “OFF” before plugging cord into wall outlet. If coffeemaker does not have a switch, be sure coffeemaker contains water or brewed coffee before plugging in. Do not leave coffeemaker plugged in when it is not being used.
• Always unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
• Your appliance has a short cord as a safety precaution to avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement. Position the cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the counter, table or other area or touch hot surfaces.
• Plug coffeemaker into 120 volt AC grounded electric outlet only. The cord has a three-prong plug which mates with a standard three-prong gounded wall outlet.
Do not cut or remove the third prong from the plug. If an adaptor is used, be sure adaptor wire and wall outlet is grounded. If there is any doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded, check with a qualified electrician.
• While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, make sure the cord has the same or higher wattage as the coffeemaker (wattage is stamped on the underside of the base). To avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement, position the extension cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the counter, table or other area.
• Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or extension cord feels hot.
• Keep the cord away from hot parts of the appliance and hot surfaces during operation.

Instructions for Making Coffee
1. Before using coffeemaker for the first time, clean it thoroughly. Refer to
Cleaning Instructions.
2. Always use coffeemaker 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 leves. Do not fill past maximum cup level.
4. Place stem into heating unit, well in bottom of coffeemaker, then put basket on stem. Add electric perk or regular grind coffee to basket using chart below for amount to use depending on cup level. Spread grounds evenly in basket. Use standard measuring cups to measure grounds. Do not let any grounds fall 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.
5. Place cover on the coffeemaker and turn to secure in place inside handles.
Note arrows on cover for correct turning. To reduce coffee spills, especially if coffee maker is tipped over, make sure cover has been turned clockwise until the cover is completely secured 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 as the cover only temporarily reduces coffee from spilling if coffeemaker is tipped over.
6. Plug cord into a 120 volt AC grounded electric outlet ONLY. turn switch “ON” for models 13500 and 33600.
7. Coffeemaker will stop perking automatically (each cup requires no longer than
1 minute brewing time). Coffee is ready when light in base glows. Coffee will remain serving temperature as long as coffeemaker is plugged in (and switch is
“ON”). Before serving turn cover to remove basket and stem. Using a hot pad, remove coffee basket, and stem. If coffee basket and stem are not removed, bitter oils from the extracted grounds will drip into coffee. Replace cover making sure it is completely secured into the handle slots.

8. For cup-on-saucer filling, press faucet handle down. Release handle when filled. For continuous flow when filling coffee server, lift handle straight up until it locks into open position. Lower handle when server is filled.
9. When about 3 cups of coffee remain in coffeemaker, or when coffee can no longer be seen in the view tube, turn switch “OFF” and unplug cord from electrical outlet.
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.
