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

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.

occur.

result in damage to the coffeemaker. See Special Cleaning Instructions in this booklet.
