The Proctor Silex coffee maker is an automatic-brew appliance that can make up to 12 cups of coffee at one time. Sold in many home-retail, culinary and department stores, the coffee maker has a heated plate, a large water reservoir, a removable brew basket and automatic shut-off operation. Using the Proctor Silex coffee maker is fairly straightforward but should only be performed by adults familiar with using electrical appliances that use hot liquids. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Lift open the top lid on the coffee maker. Set a disposable cupcake-style paper filter into the brew basket and push down gently to fit it into the brew basket.
2. Pour 1 tsp. ground coffee per cup of coffee to be brewed into the paper filter.
3. Fill the glass carafe with cold water to the fill mark on the carafe for the number of cups to be brewed. Pour the water into the water reservoir in the rear of the coffee maker with the lid up.
4. Close the top lid and place the carafe on the hot plate with the carafe lid closed.
5. Connect the power cord to an electrical outlet and turn the power switch to "On" to begin brewing.
6. Press the "Off" button on the power switch and unplug the coffee maker when finished.
