Plain water may be heated in your coffeemaker. Simply
follow steps in “Instructions
for Making Coffee,” without adding coffee grounds.
The inside of the coffeemaker may darken after heating water. This is normal and
does not affect the coffeemaker or the water heated. See special cleaning
instructions with Cream of Tartar on the next page.
Other than making coffee or heating water, no other liquid should be heated in
the coffeemaker to prevent damage to the heating unit.
When the coffeemaker is used to heat water only, it must be cleaned well after each
use in addition to special weekly cleaning with white distilled vinegar for removal of
mineral deposits. If these deposits are not removed, pitting of the metal can occur
and result in damage to the coffeemaker. See Special Cleaning Instructions in this
manual.
Improper cleaning of the coffeemaker, especially the heating unit well, will
affect the performance, resulting in weak, lukewarm coffee and may even
cause the coffeemaker to stop perking. To keep the coffeemaker working
properly, it is very important to follow the regular and special cleaning
instructions.

Never make more than the maximum or less than the minimum amount of
coffee, as indicated by the markings inside your coffeemaker, for your
model of coffeemaker.
Do not use softened or distilled water, as flooding of the basket may occur.
If grinding your own coffee beans, grind to medium coarseness for best results.
Do not grind coffee too finely or powder-like, as this can cause the coffee basket
to flood.
Before adding coffee grounds to the basket, run the basket under running water
to dampen. This will help minimize coffee grounds falling into the coffeemaker.
Using a hot pad, carefully remove the coffee basket with grounds as soon as the
brewing cycle is completed. This helps maintain the coffee flavor. Use the coffee
maker cover as a convenient carrying tray when disposing of wet grounds.
Liquid must always cover the inside bottom of the appliance at all times while in
use. If the appliance is run dry it could cause overheating and damage to internal
components and will void the warranty.
After every use, it is important to completely empty, clean, and dry your
coffeemaker before using again. Do not let water or coffee sit in the
coffeemaker overnight.
Do not reheat the same coffee or water. Always clean and dry the coffeemaker
between uses.
