3.6
Owner's of the West Bend Coffeemaker 13500 gave it a score of 3.6 out of 5. Here's how the scores stacked up:
3
is completely secured into the handle slots. Care should be used when moving the coffeemaker 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. Also turn switch “ON” for models 13500 and 33600.
CAUTION: Your coffeemaker has a long cord for easy access to electric outlet. To prevent personal injury or property
damage, do not allow long cord to drape or hang over the edge of a countertop, tabletop or surface area where it can be pulled
by children or tripped over. Do not allow children to be near or use this coffeemaker without close adult supervision.
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.
8. For cup-on-saucer filling, press faucet handle down. Release handle when filled. For continuous flow when filling coffee
server, lift handle straight up until it locks into open position. Lower handle when server is filled.
9. When about 3 cups of coffee remain in coffeemaker, or when coffee can no longer be seen in the view tube, unplug cord
from electric outlet and turn switch “OFF”.
10. To reheat cold coffee, simply plug coffeemaker in and turn switch “ON”. Be sure basket and stem are removed. There
must be at least 12 cups of coffee in the coffeemaker to reheat.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR HEATING WATER FOR INSTANT BEVERAGES
Plain water may be heated in your coffeemaker for use with instant beverages. Simply fill the clean coffeemaker with cold
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.
Other than making coffee or heating water, no other liquid should be heated in coffeemaker as damage to heating unit can
occur.
When a coffeemaker is used to heat water only, it must be cleaned well after each use in addition to special weekly cleaning
with white distilled vinegar for remove mineral deposits. If these deposits are not removed, pitting of the metal can occur and
result in damage to the coffeemaker. See Special Cleaning Instructions in this booklet.
