parts can also be placed in dishwasher.) Do not put percolator in dishwasher.
• Rinse all parts thoroughly and dry. Store with cover off.
NOTE:
Make sure the washer at
bottom of stem remains loose. If coffee grounds lodge in this
area, remove them under running water or with a wooden
pick, then rinse and dry.

liquid dishwashing detergent and wash the inside of the
percolator. Use a sponge and clean the inside of the
heating unit well. This part must be properly cleaned to
maintain the proper operation of the percolator. Do not
immerse percolator in water.
• Drain the soapy water then fill the percolator with hot water to rinse. Pour soapy
water through spout to clean the spout. Repeat with another hot water rinse. Dry.

cleansers.
