Care and Use Instructions  
IMPORTANT SAFEGARDS  
Use electricity safely and wisely. Observe safety precautions when using your coffee maker including the following:  
Read all instructions before using  
Be sure switch is turned “OFF” before plugging cord into wall outlet. If coffeemaker does not have a switch, be sure  
coffee maker contains water or brewed coffee before plugging in. Do not leave coffeemaker plugged in when it is not  
being used.  
Plug coffee maker into 120 volt AC grounded electric outlet ONLY. The cord has a three-prong plug which mates  
with a standard three-prong grounded 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 are grounded. If there is any doubt as to whether the outlet is grounded,  
check with a qualified electrician.  
Coffee maker should always be unplugged and allowed to cool before cleaning.  
Do not let cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of a counter, table, or other surface area.  
Make sure cover, basket and stem are properly attached before coffeemaker is plugged in. (See instructions). No part  
of the coffeemaker should be removed during the brewing cycle. Scalding could occur.  
Your coffeemaker, its cord and plug should not be used outdoors, immersed in liquids, placed near a hot electric or  
gas burner or place in a heated oven.  
Do not touch coffeemaker when it is hot. Use handles or knobs.  
Supervise closely when coffeemaker is used by or near children.  
Use your coffeemaker only for the uses described in this booklet. Do not use attachments with your coffeemaker  
unless recommended by The West Bend Company.

damage, do not allow long cord to drape or hang over the edge of a countertop, tabletop or surface area where it can be pulled  
by children or tripped over. Do not allow children to be near or use this coffeemaker without close adult supervision.  
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.

from electric outlet and turn switch “OFF”.  
10. To reheat cold coffee, simply plug coffeemaker in and turn switch “ON”. Be sure basket and stem are removed. There  
must be at least 12 cups of coffee in the coffeemaker to reheat.  
INSTRUCTIONS FOR HEATING WATER FOR INSTANT BEVERAGES  
Plain water may be heated in your coffeemaker for use with instant beverages. Simply fill the clean coffeemaker with cold  
water to the desired cup level and place stem and clean empty basket into position as for making coffee. Secure cover in place  
and plug coffeemaker in. Also turn switch to “ON” position for models 13500 and 33600. Heat water until perking stops and  
light on base glows. Remove cover, lift out basket and stem, with a hot pad, and replace cover, making sure it is secured in  
place. Unplug coffeemaker when less than 3 cups of water remain. Inside of coffeemaker may darken after heating water  
which is normal and does not affect the coffeemaker or the water heated.  
Other than making coffee or heating water, no other liquid should be heated in coffeemaker as damage to heating unit can  
occur.  
When a 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 remove 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 booklet.
