when the brewer is used by or  
near children.  
• Do not use brewer for other than  
its intended use.  
• Unplug from outlet when not in  
use for extended periods of time  
and before cleaning. Allow to  
cool before putting on or taking  
off parts,and before cleaning.  
• Do not remove funnel or carafe  
while brewing.

GENERAL INFORMATION  
NOTE -THE BREWER IS NOT READYTO PLUG IN  
(See Page 6)  
Improper installation will result in permanent damage and void the  
limited warranty.Read and follow the instructions on the next page.  
• This brewer is designed to remain plugged in at all times  
(except during initial installation or when cleaning).  
• A vacation switch is provided on the lower left side to completely shut  
off all electrical components when your plans take you away from home  
for three or more days.Safety features,designed into the BUNN® coffee  
brewer,make the daily use of this switch unnecessary.  
• If the brewer has been shut off or unplugged, fill the tank with water  
and allow the water in the tank to heat to the proper temperature before  
using (about fifteen minutes or until the heating sound stops).  
Your BUNN® coffee brewer has a specially designed tank to keep the  
water at the proper temperature. This constant supply of hot water  
assures correctly brewed coffee in less than three minutes.  
The brewed coffee flows into a non-heated thermal carafe  
server. The stainless steel construction will hold coffee at  
serving temperature for 2 hours minimum.  
• The carafe lid reduces coffee evaporation and temperature loss.  
• While coffee is being brewed,the newest water in the tank is heated to  
the proper temperature and held until needed.  
• When the brewer is not in operation,the flip lid should be closed.If the  
lid is left open, water could drip from the sprayhead when cold water  
is poured into the top of the brewer.  
• Use CAUTION when dispensing hot water from the brewer.The water  
is approximately 50°F hotter than that available from your hot water  
faucet and is always available for other uses.  
• The brewer is equipped with a 120 volt,3-prong,grounded cord set.The  
plug is provided with a round grounding pin.This is a safety feature and  
allows the plug to fit into a properly grounded outlet. If the plug does  
not fit into the outlet, contact an electrician to update your outlet. Do  
not attempt to bypass the safety aspect of this plug.  
• The sprayhead may periodically become loose. Using extreme caution  
since it may be hot,retighten the sprayhead with your finger tips.  
NOTE- A severe burn may result if the sprayhead becomes  
loose and falls off while brewing.

BREWING DELICIOUS COFFEE  
Step 1  
Insert a BUNN® coffee filter into the brew funnel.  
Be sure to use BUNN® coffee filters for proper  
brewing.Order more paper filters direct from  
BUNN® at www.bunn.com  
P2562  
Step 2  
Measure coffee into the filter and gently shake the  
filter to level the bed of grounds.To determine the  
amount of coffee to be used,see Page 8.

Step 3  
Make sure that the sprayhead is tight.Slide the brew  
funnel into the brewer.

Step 4  
Raise the hinged flip-lid and pour a carafe of water into  
the top of the brewer.See BrewingTips (page 8) for pre-  
heating the carafe.Place the carafe on the brewer,THEN  
close the lid. Your BUNN® brewer will begin brewing  
coffee immediately. Flip-lid should also remain closed  
when brewer is not in operation.

P2561  
Step 5  
When brewing has stopped,remove the brew funnel  
and discard the filter and grounds. Do not touch hot  
grounds.  
P215  
NOTE:Opening the lid during brew cycle will interrupt the flow of water into the tank,  
but will not interrupt the brewing process.The brewed coffee already in the funnel  
will empty into the carafe.When lid is closed, the flow of water into the funnel will  
resume until the brewing cycle is complete.  
WARNING:Do not close the lid after pouring in water, without the decanter in place.  
Closing the lid releases the hot water.  
HOT WATER (USE WITH CAUTION)  
The same basic steps can be used to obtain hot water by omitting the filter  
and coffee.The water from your BUNN® coffee brewer is approximately 200°  
F. This is hotter than the hot water from your faucet and must be handled  
with care.

COFFEE FUNDAMENTALS  
Brewingdeliciouscoffeeissimilartocookinganyfavoritefood.Bothrequire  
a good recipe. Proper coffee brewing requires quality equipment to precisely  
control water temperature, volume, and brew time. The BUNN® coffee brewer  
assuresconsistencyinyourrecipebycontrollingalloftheseelements.Theonly  
variables remaining in the recipe are the grind and amount of coffee used.  
The amount of ground coffee is generally determined by the grind. For best  
results, we recommend a drip (medium) grind.  
Hot water extracts many elements from the coffee. The amount of coffee  
used and the amount of water passed through the coffee determines strength.  
Increasing the amount of coffee results in a stronger beverage. Decreasing  
the amount of coffee with the same amount of water results in a weaker  
beverage.  
As the amount of coffee decreases,you’ll note an increase in the bitterness  
of the beverage. This happens because the hot water begins to remove  
the undesirable elements after all of the desirable elements have been  
extracted.  
Fresh-ground coffee gives the best results. Always store the ground coffee  
in a cool, dry area away from other food items with strong odors. When stored  
in a refrigerator, keep coffee in an airtight container.  
BREWINGTIPS  
When coffee is properly brewed, the difference between the best quality  
groundcoffeeandapoorqualitygroundcoffeebecomesverydramatic. Proper  
brewing requires little effort with the BUNNcoffee brewer.  
You’ll have a great coffee experience if you follow these tips:  
1) Start with clean equipment.  
2) Use fresh cold water.  
3) Use BUNN® paper coffee filters for proper extraction.  
4) Using a minimum of 2 ounces of fresh drip grind coffee for each full pot  
will give you a consistently great pot of coffee with a full-bodied flavor  
and aroma. However, the real criteria is personal taste. Adjust the recipe  
until it suits you. If you need to make a smaller batch, experiment  
with less water and ground coffee. Minimum batch is 20 ounces.  
5) After filling the pour-in bowl with water from the carafe, the carafe can be  
pre-heated by filling it with hot water for approximately 1/2 minute.Empty  
before filling with fresh brewed coffee. For the freshest flavor, don’t hold  
brewed coffee in the carafe for longer than four hours.

WATER QUALITY

taste,or odors.  
SOFTENED WATER / DECAFFEINATED COFFEE  
Use of decaffeinated coffee and/or softened water may cause the brewed coffee  
to drain more slowly through the paper filter,occasionally resulting in an overflow  
of grounds into the carafe. While this is not unusual in coffee brewing, it can  
be avoided by using slightly less coffee,a courser grind,or both. If the overflow  
persists, please contact BUNN® to order a special sprayhead free of charge.  
ROUTINE CLEANING  
Rinsing the brew funnel and carafe after each use  
is the only routine cleaning required. Occasionally, wipe  
the outside of the brewer including the area above the  
funnel with a damp cloth. The carafe may be disassembled  
for cleaning. Rotate the lid counterclockwise to remove.

Occasionally,theFlavorGard®valveshouldberemovedand  
cleaned. Lift at the edge and pull up.After rinsing, replace  
P2565  
by aligning the tab on the FlavorGard® valve with the slot  
inside the carafe lid and press in place. Use of a mild, non-abrasive detergent is  
recommended. Do not use a scrub pad or other abrasive cleaning device as this  
will scratch the stainless steel surface. (The brew funnel and carafe are top-rack  
dishwasher safe.)  
DELIMING  
Periodically,you should delime the brewer to clear any deposits that may have  
accumulated due to impurities in the water source.  
NOTE - Unplug the brewer and let it cool down before  
deliming.  
1) Unscrew the sprayhead with your fingertips and set it  
aside.  
2) Insert all but two inches of the flexible deliming tool  
P2566  
(Supplied) into the sprayhead tube.  
3) Slide the tool in and out five or six times to loosen lime  
in the sprayhead tube.Remove the tool.  
4) Pour one carafe of fresh water into the brewer, set the  
empty carafe on the brewer,and close the lid.  
5) Check the holes in the sprayhead.If plugged with lime,  
they may be cleared by using a toothpick. Clean the  
sprayhead with a cloth and mild detergent. Rinse the  
P2567  
sprayhead with water before reinstalling.  
6) Plug in the brewer and allow the water in the tank to reheat before using.The  
frequency of deliming depends on the mineral content of your water.

PERIODIC CLEANING  
(Recommended at least every three months)  
1) Slide an empty brew funnel into the brewer and center an empty carafe in  
position on the brewer.  
2) Pour one quart of white vinegar into the top of the brewer and close the  
lid.Empty the carafe when liquid stops flowing from the funnel.  
3) Allow the brewer to sit for two hours.  
4) Unplug the brewer.Remove the brew funnel and sprayhead from the brewer  
and set them aside.Clean the sprayhead with a cloth and mild detergent.  
5) To drain the brewer, continue to Step 6, OR to clear vinegar out of brewer  
without draining,pour a carafe of fresh,cold water through the brewer. Place  
carafe on brewer base, then close the lid to allow the water to run through  
the brewer. After it has run through, empty carafe, and repeat the process  
approximately 8 - 10 times.Proceed to Step 9.  
6) Cool the brewer by pouring a full carafe of fresh, cold  
water into the top of the brewer. Place carafe on brewer  
base,close lid.When water has stopped flowing from the  
brewer, empty the carafe. Repeat this process, then set  
the carafe aside.  
7) Grasp the back of the brewer and quickly turn it upside  
down over a sink as shown.Most of the water in the tank  
will flow from the sprayhead tube opening. Some water  
may flow from the area around the top lid. Continue  
tipping the brewer until the flow stops.  
P2568  
8) Replacethesprayheadandfunnelafterthewaterhasbeen  
drained.Pour a carafe of water into the top of the brewer.  
Place the carafe on the brewer,close the lid. Repeat this  
process with another carafe of water. Water will flow out  
of the funnel after the second carafe.When flow from the  
P2566  
funnel has stopped, empty the carafe and pour an additional carafe of water  
into the brewer.Place the carafe on the brewer and close the lid.  
9) If you have not replaced the sprayhead and funnel, do so now before  
proceeding.Taste the water coming out of the brewer. Pour additional carafes  
of fresh,cold water into the brewer as needed until the water has no vinegar  
taste.
