4.2 Initial Cleaning

Before first use, clean the decanters and the brew funnel with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly. Wipe down the exterior of the brewer with a damp cloth.

4.3 Power Connection

Plug the brewer into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet meets the North American Electrical Standards for which the product is designed.

5. Operation

5.1 Brewing Coffee

Place a clean, empty glass decanter on the lower warmer plate.
Insert a paper filter into the brew funnel.
Add the desired amount of ground coffee to the filter.
Slide the brew funnel into position under the spray head.
Open the lid on top of the brewer and pour cold water into the water reservoir. The brewer will immediately begin the brewing cycle.
Once brewing is complete, remove the decanter. The brewer can brew up to 3.8 gallons (14.4 liters) of coffee per hour.

5.2 Using Warmers

The BUNN VPR-2GD features both upper and lower warmer plates to keep brewed coffee hot. Red switches on the front panel control these warmers:

Upper Warmer: Place a decanter on the upper plate and flip the 'UPPER' switch to the ON position.
Lower Warmer: Place a decanter on the lower plate and flip the 'LOWER' switch to the ON position.

CAUTION: Warmer plates and surrounding surfaces become hot during operation. Avoid direct contact.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Daily Cleaning

Unplug the brewer and allow it to cool completely.

Wash decanters and brew funnel with warm, soapy water.

Wipe down the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

6.2 Descaling (Periodic)

Mineral deposits can build up over time, affecting performance. Descale the brewer periodically using a commercial descaling solution or a mixture of white vinegar and water. Follow the descaling product's instructions carefully, or consult the BUNN website for specific descaling procedures for pourover brewers.

7. Troubleshooting

Brewer not turning on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a functional outlet. Check the circuit breaker.

Coffee not brewing: Verify that water has been poured into the top reservoir. Ensure the brew funnel is correctly inserted.

Coffee not hot enough: Check that the upper and/or lower warmer switches are in the ON position. Allow sufficient time for the brewer to heat up initially.

Slow brewing or weak coffee: This may indicate mineral buildup. Refer to the descaling instructions in Section 6.2.

For issues not resolved by these steps, please contact BUNN customer support.
