West bend 3648E--csapp-no.2496 age and I need a manual

If it's a two-container unit, it's circa 1950 or so. It should have a detachable metal base that has the plug, a High/Low switch and heats up. Then, the bottom serving container (with glass level gauge and spigot) fits onto that. The top container fits onto the bottom container. On some there is a "perforated disc" (mine has perforations in the bottom of the upper container). Put in the perforated disc. Place ground coffee onto that. Put the inner "lid" (they call it a "water spreader") snugly over the coffee grounds. Having heated up water to a rolling boil in another container(s), pour in the water to the desired level (marked on the sides). Put the upper container's outer lid on. When it starts to drip plug it in. . . and there ya go. For a PDF of the directions with a diagram of the unit call Focus Electrics (they bought West Bend) at 1-866-290-1851. They only have the PDF file on this. They are very nice and helpful. If it's a two-container unit, it's circa 1950 or so.
