IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Follow these basic safety precautions when using electrical appliances

to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or personal injury:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

•Ashort power-supply cord is used to reduce the risks resulting from

becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

•If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the

extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of

the brewer and the cord should be arranged so that it will not hang

over edge of table or counter where it can be pulled on by children

or tripped over.

GENERAL INFORMATION

NOTE - THE BREWER IS NOT READY TO PLUG IN

(See Page 6)

Improper installation will result in permanent damage and void the

limited warranty. Read & 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).

•Avacationswitch is providedonthe lowerleftside tocompletelyshut

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.

•Wheneverthebrewerhasbeenshutofforunplugged,fillthetankwith

waterandallowthewaterinthetanktoheattothepropertemperature

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 the correct method of brewing 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.

•Whilecoffeeisbeingbrewed,thenewestwaterinthetankisheatedto

the proper temperature and held until needed.

•Whenthe brewer isnot in operation,the flip lidshould remainclosed.

Leaving the lid open may cause an unexpected drip of water from the

sprayheadoncecoldwaterhasbeenpouredintothetopofthebrewer.

•UseCAUTION whendispensinghotwaterfromthebrewer.Thewater

is approximately 50°F hotter than that available from your hot water

faucet and is always available for other uses.

•Thebrewerisequippedwithapolarizedcordset.Onebladeoftheplug

is slightly larger than the other. This is a safety feature and allows the

plug to fit into the outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the

plug into the outlet, try turning it over. If the plug still does not fit,

contact an electrician to update your outlet. Do not attempt to bypass

the safety aspect of this polarized plug.

•The sprayhead will periodically become loose. Using extreme caution

not to burn yourself, retighten the sprayhead with your finger tips.

NOTE- A severe burn may result if the sprayhead becomes

loose and falls off while brewing.

Insert a BUNN®coffee filter into the brew funnel.

(Be sure to use BUNN coffee filters for proper

brewing. There is a difference.) Order more paper

filters direct from BUNN at: www.bunnomatic.com

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.

HOT WATER (USE WITH CAUTION)

Thesamebasicstepscanbeusedtoobtainhotwaterbyomittingthefilterand

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

Brewing delicious coffee is similar to cooking any favorite food. Both

require a good recipe. Proper coffee making needs quality equipment to

preciselycontrolwatertemperature,volume,andbrewtime.TheBUNN®

coffee brewer assures consistency in your recipe by controlling all of

these elements. The only 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 ground coffee, some

desirable, some not. The taste and aroma are referred to as strength, the

acidity as bitterness. Increasing the amount of ground coffee results in a

stronger beverage, and decreasing it results in a weaker beverage.

As the amount of ground 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 such as acidity after all of the

desirable tastes and aroma have been removed.

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 it in an airtight container.

BREWING TIPS

When properly brewed, the difference between the best quality

ground coffee and a poor quality ground coffee becomes very dramatic.

Proper brewing requires little effort with the BUNNcoffee brewer.

You'll always have a great coffee experience if you follow these tips:

1) Always start with clean equipment.

2) Always use fresh cold water.

3) Always use BUNN®paper coffee filters for proper extraction.

4) Usingaminimumof2ouncesoffreshdripgrindcoffeeforeachfullpot

willgiveyou aconsistentlygreat pot ofcoffeewith afull-bodiedflavor

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.

don't hold brewed coffee in the carafe for longer than four hours.
