NOTE:  Due to evaporation, water may be lost from the tank if brewer 

is left on for long periods of time without making coffee. When this 

occurs, pour in enough water to refill the heating tank before brewing.

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 the warmer plate (model Café AP will use an airpot).

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).
