CAUTION:
Please
use this setup
procedure before
attempting to use this brewer.
Failure to follow the instruc-
tions can result in injury or
the voiding of the warranty.
CAUTION:
Allow
brewcone to
drain before
removing.
SETUP STEPS
1. Place the brewer on a solid, level counter top,
near a 120 VAC outlet rated at 20 amps.
2. Place an empty glass decanter on the warmer
deck, under the sprayhead.
3. Insert an empty brewcone into the brew rails
unit (fig. 1.).
4. Slowly fill the tank with room temperature water
through the opening on the top cover until water
starts running in a steady stream from the brewcone
(3 pots or 192 ounces). The tank is full.
5. Plug power cord into a 120V electrical outlet.
6. Allow the brewer to heat up to full temperature,
indicated by the green Ready to Brew light. This
takes about 15 to 25 minutes the first time the
coffee brewer is plugged in. Slight dripping from the brewcone is normal as the tank heats up.
BREWING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Pour ground coffee evenly into the filter and place it into the brew
cone.
2. Slide brew cone into guide rails (fig. 1.). Place a clean empty
decanter on warmer plate (use an airpot with the Café AP).
3. When the green Ready to Brew light comes on, add 64 ounces or
one decanter of room temperature water into opening on the top
cover (fig. 3.). Brewing will take about three minutes.
4. Switch on the warmer plates to keep the coffee at serving
temperature.
NOTE: You should have at least two decanters for brewing coffee.
One for pouring water, the other to brew coffee into. Airpot brewers
will require a pitcher that holds 74 ounces (see figure 3).
