•
Read all instructions, including these important safeguards and the care and use
instructions in this manual.
•
Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
•
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

damaged in any manner. For service information see warranty page.
•
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by West Bend®

•
Models 13500, 33600 and 59055 are commercial rated.
To prevent burns, personal injury or property damage, read and follow all

Heat Precautions
•
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs and hot pads or oven mitts.
•
Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or
other hot liquids.
•
Make sure cover, basket and stem are properly attached before coffeemaker is
plugged in (see Instructions For Making Coffee section). No part of the
coffeemaker should be removed during the brewing cycle as scalding could
occur.
2
To prevent electrical shock, personal injury or property damage, read and
follow all instructions and warnings.
Electricity Precautions
•
To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric
parts in water or other liquids.
•
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.
•
Do not use this appliance outdoors.
•
Be sure switch is turned to “OFF” before plugging cord into wall outlet. If
coffeemaker does not have a switch, be sure coffeemaker contains water or
brewed coffee before plugging in. Do not leave coffeemaker plugged in when it
is not being used.
•
Always unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts.
•
Your appliance has a short cord as a safety precaution to avoid pulling, tripping
or entanglement. Position the cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the
counter, table or other area or touch hot surfaces.
•
Plug coffeemaker into 120 volt AC grounded electric outlet only. The cord has a
three-prong plug which mates with a standard three-prong gounded 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 is grounded. If there is any doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded, check with a qualified electrician.
•
While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, make
sure the cord has the same or higher wattage as the coffeemaker (wattage is
stamped on the underside of the base). To avoid pulling, tripping or
entanglement, position the extension cord so that it does not hang over the edge
of the counter, table or other area.
•
Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or
extension cord feels hot.
•
Keep the cord away from hot parts of the appliance and hot surfaces during
operation.

instructions and warnings.

•
Do not allow children to operate or be near the appliance, as the outside surfaces
are hot during use.
•

Instructions for Making Coffee
1.
Before using coffeemaker for the first time, clean it thoroughly. Refer to
Cleaning Instructions.
2.
Always use coffeemaker on a dry level, heat-resistant surface, away from any
edge. Be sure hands are dry.
3.
With basket and stem removed, fill coffeemaker with COLD water to desired cup
level. Marks on inside of coffeemaker show cup leves. Do not fill past
maximum cup level.
4.
Place stem into heating unit, well in bottom of coffeemaker, then put basket on
stem. Add electric perk or regular grind coffee to basket using chart below for
amount to use depending on cup level. Spread grounds evenly in basket. Use
standard measuring cups to measure grounds. Do not let any grounds fall into
stem opening. Do not use “Drip” or finely ground coffee as basket can flood.
The amount of ground coffee recommended will make mild-strength coffee
which most people prefer. The amount of coffee used can be adjusted to suit
your preference.
5.
Place cover on the coffeemaker and turn to secure in place inside handles.
Note arrows on cover for correct turning. To reduce coffee spills, especially if
coffee maker is tipped over, make sure cover has been turned clockwise until
the cover is completely secured into the handle slots. NOTE: While moving an
appliance containing hot liquids is not recommended, if you must move the
coffeemaker, extreme caution should be used as the cover only temporarily
reduces coffee from spilling if coffeemaker is tipped over.
6.
Plug cord into a 120 volt AC grounded electric outlet ONLY. turn switch “ON”
for models 13500 and 33600.
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.
