SETUP STEPS
CAUTION - This brewer is shipped with the thermostat turned ON. DO NOT plug in unit before
pouring 3 pots or 192 oz. of water into the opening (see step 4, below); damage to the heating
element or thermostat will result.
1. Place the brewer on a solid, level counter top,
near a 120 VAC outlet rated at 20 amps.
2. Place an empty glass decanter on the warmer
deck, under the sprayhead.
3. Insert an empty brewcone into the brew rails
unit (fig. 1.).
4. Slowly fill the tank with room temperature water
through the opening on the top cover until water
starts running in a steady stream from the brewcone
(3 pots or 192 ounces). The tank is full.
5. Plug power cord into a 120V electrical outlet.
6. Allow the brewer to heat up to full temperature,
indicated by the green Ready to Brew light. This
takes about 15 to 25 minutes the first time the
coffee brewer is plugged in. Slight dripping from the brewcone is normal as the tank heats up.

BREWING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Pour ground coffee evenly into the filter and place it into the brew
cone.
2. Slide brew cone into guide rails (fig. 1.). Place a clean empty
decanter on warmer plate (use an airpot with the Café AP).
3. When the green Ready to Brew light comes on, add 64 ounces or
one decanter of room temperature water into opening on the top
cover (fig. 3.). Brewing will take about three minutes.
4. Switch on the warmer plates to keep the coffee at serving
temperature.
NOTE: Due to evaporation, water may be lost from the tank if brewer
is left on for long periods of time without making coffee. When this
occurs, pour in enough water to refill the heating tank before brewing.
NOTE: You should have at least two decanters for brewing coffee.
One for pouring water, the other to brew coffee into. Airpot brewers
will require a pitcher that holds 74 ounces (see figure 3).
This appliance is designed for commercial use. Any servicing other than cleaning and maintenance
should be performed by an authorized Wilbur Curtis Company service center.
• Do NOT immerse the unit in water or any other liquid
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do NOT open top panel. No user serviceable
parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

CLEANING Regular cleaning of your Curtis Cafe coffee brewer will maintain the highest quality coffee your equipment is capable of producing. Proper cleaning is essential in maintaining the fresh and appealing appearance of your coffee service. 1. First turn off the brewer, unplugging the cord at the power outlet. 2. Avoid touching hot surfaces. Allow the warmer plates to cool. CAUTION - Do not use cleansers, liquid bleach, powders or any other substance that contains chlorine. These products promote cor- rosion and will pit the stainless steel. THE USE OF THESE PRODUCTS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. 3. Wipe all exterior surfaces with a damp cloth, removing spills and debris. 4. Slide the brewcone out and clean it. Thoroughly wipe sprayhead area with a damp cloth. 5. Wash the brewcone and wire brew basket, if applicable. Use a soft bristled brush for hard to clean areas. Wash both parts with a detergent solution or put these parts through a dishwasher. 6. Wash glass decanters with dish soap. To remove mineral deposits, soak with vinegar. 7. Dry all exterior surfaces of the unit with a clean soft cloth to keep water from spotting the cabinet. NOTE - Polish the outside stainless steel surfaces with stainless steel polish after drying. This will prevent surface scratches and result in a cleaner appearance.
