How to Clean
(cont.)
3.
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.
4.
Fill the percolator half-full with hot water. Add a drop of
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.
5.
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.
6.
Clean outside of percolator with a damp cloth. Do not use
abrasive scouring pads or cleansers.
NOTE:
We recommend using coffee that has been ground
specifically for use in a
percolator-type
coffeemaker,
although coffee marked “For All Coffee Makers” is acceptable.
If using a coffee grinder and whole beans, percolator coffee
should be a coarse grind. A finely ground coffee may cause
the coffee basket to overflow.
To Heat Water
Use heated water to make instant coffee, hot cocoa, or tea.
1.
To heat water, remove lid, basket, and stem. Fill percolator
with cold water to desired level as indicated by numbered
servings on inside of percolator or water window.
2.
Place basket on stem. Hold top of stem and place stem
and basket into heating unit well. (Using the stem and
basket will speed heating time.) Place spreader on basket.
3.
Place lid on percolator until it snaps closed. Plug in
percolator and let it go through a complete perk cycle.
Water is hot when Ready light glows.
How to Clean
1.
After each use, unplug cord from outlet; then remove cord
from the percolator. Let cool before cleaning.
2.
Remove lid, basket, spreader, and stem. Wash these in
hot, soapy water. (These parts can also be placed in
dishwasher.) Do not put percolator in dishwasher.
Washer
Stem
To Remove Mineral Deposits and Buildup
If the percolator is used daily, follow these instructions every
other week. Fill the percolator with 6 cups (1.5 L) cold water
and 6 cups (1.5 L) white vinegar. Assemble with stem, basket,
spreader, and lid.
Plug in and let go through the perk cycle. When perking has
stopped, let sit another 15 minutes. Unplug and drain the
percolator. Let cool; then clean according to “How To Clean.”
