Safety Precautions
Cleaning Instructions
Disassembly: Remove the top/plunger assembly. Taking apart the assembly is not necessary. If you
want to do a deeper clean of the filters, see the section below “Screen Filter Replacement” for
instructions on how to remove the filters. Remove the glass carafe from the stainless-steel housing by
holding the stainless-steel housing with
hand and firmly twist and pull up on the glass with the other
hand until it slides out.
There should be
main parts to clean:
Wash all parts with dishwashing soap and warm water. Avoid cleaning stainless-steel housing
with
brushes or steel wool as it will cause scratches and will dull the finish.
Screen F
ilter Replacement: Unscrew the knob that is on top of the lid. Remove the lid and unscrew the
small metal clasp that is located directly above the stainless-steel spring filter. Slide the stainless-steel
spring filter and the
screen filters off the rod carefully, avoiding contact with the sharp edges of the
filters.
Plunger assembly
Glass carafe
Stainless-steel housing
Inspect glass carafe thoroughly for scratches, cracks or chips. Do not use if any are found on glass
carafe.
Note the carafe is fully removable from the stainless-steel housing. Wash thoroughly before use.
Do not overfill. Leave space of at least one inch between the top of the hot liquid and the bottom of
the lid.
Always place on a dry, flat, non-slip surface.
During use, lower plunger slowly to avoid hot liquid from flowing upwards. Turn spout away from
you when lowering plunger.
Use coarse ground coffee/tea. Finely ground coffee may clog filter and create additional pressure.
Do not microwave any of the metal pieces. Glass carafe is microwave safe. Use oven mitts to
remove glass carafe from microwave. Glass gets very hot!
Not for use on stovetop. Do not place on heated surface.
Keep out of reach from children and infants.
CAUTION - use caution while handling all parts of the French press, including the filters. There
are sharp edges that need to be handled with care. The edges of the stainless-steel housing are
very sharp! Be sure to inspect glass carafe for chips, cracks or other sharp edges before use.
CAUTION! EXTREMELY HOT WATER. Use extreme caution when handling all parts of the
French press; boiling/hot water is used to brew coffee and can burn.
While pouring, hold French press with
hands: one hand on the handle and the other hand by
the round knob on the top of the plunger. See illustration in Step
for details.
Inspect the plunger, filters, and all other components for any frayed or scrap metal. Do not use
French press if any frayed or scrap metal is found.
