During the first 3 to 4 minutes, while the tornado is incorporating the coffee into the water, dry
coffee will remain on the surface of the water. This is normal.
NOTE:
The rapid cold brewer can run indefinitely without damage to the unit.
7. If desired, the spinning speed can be increased after a few minutes by turning the control dial
clockwise. Increased speed may aid in the removal of grounds from the side of the carafe.
8. After stirring time is complete, turn the control dial off. Unplug the cord from the electrical
outlet and then from the base. Allow the coffee to rest at least 5 minutes.
IMPORTANT:
Resting allows the grounds to settle, making the plunging/filtering process in
step 9 easier and more effective.
NOTE:
After 5 minutes have elapsed, there will still be grounds visible on the top surface of
the coffee. This is normal.
9. While the carafe is still on the base, grasp the plunger knob and lid. Insert the plunger into
the carafe, making sure the filter is level (Fig. H). With straight downward pressure, press the
plunger knob slowly and evenly until the filter contacts the stirring cup (Fig. I). This should
take about 15 seconds.
IMPORTANT:
If you plunge too fast, one or both of the following will occur:
• You will feel an increase in resistance.
• Numerous small air bubbles will begin to escape past the plunger gasket.
DO NOT CONTINUE TO PRESS
. Instead, pull the plunger up slightly—about
1/16
th
of an
inch (2mm) is enough. Pause for a second. Then resume pressing again, evenly and slowly.
NOTE:
You may notice some coffee collecting under the stirring cup. This is normal.
10. Pour coffee from the carafe, making sure to hold the plunger knob and lid in position on top of the carafe.
Glass Carafe Care
1. Do not use the carafe if it is cracked or chipped.
2. Avoid sharp blows, scratches, and rough handling, as these can damage the glass.
3. Do not use steel wool cleaning pads or abrasive powders to clean the carafe, as they may scratch the glass.
4. Avoid exposing the carafe to extreme changes in temperature; for example, adding hot water to a carafe that is cold could cause
the glass to break.
Cleaning
1. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet and then from the cold brewer base.
2. Pour any remaining coffee out of the carafe.
