When the coffee level is less than 0,5 dl, unplug the unit from the power supply
to avoid it to boil dry.
Remember!
You must unplug the appliance to switch off
the percolator.
Cleaning and maintenence
• Always disconnect from the power supply before cleaning.
• Never immerse the unit or cord in water or any other liquid.
• It is important to clean the unit after each use.
• Even a small amount of coffee grain can cause bad and bitter taste at the next
brewing. Be careful to clean the hollow and nut in the container.
• Any form of coffee grounds in the hollow of the container can make the
automatic on/off function to activate to early which can effect the temperature
and taste of the coffee.
• Do not wash the parts in the dishwasher.
• Clean the outside of the percolator body with a damp cloth and dry. Do not use
abrasive cleaning or scouring agents, as this will damage the external finish.
• If the appliance will not be used for a longer period, store the unit, tube, strainer
and basket separately. This will prevent any form of bad flavour during the
storage.
Descaling
If you have an extremely “hard water” supply, it may be necessary to descale the
percolator occasionally to prevent the build up of calcium on the heating element.
Do not use chemicals to remove the calcium. Lemon or vinegar provide simple,
safe and gentle alternative approaches.
Lemon
Fill percolator with 1 litre of water and add the juice of 1 fresh lemon.
Switch on percolator and leave for 30 minutes. Allow to cool down and rinse
thoroughly.
Vinegar
Fill the percolator with 1 litres of vinegar and allow to stand for 1 hour keeping
the percolator switched OFF. Thoroughly rinse afterwards. Repeat the procedure
if the calcium scale is severe.
Disposal of the appliance
Legislation requires that all electrical and electronic equipment must be
collected for reuse and recycling. Electrical and electronic equipment
marked with the symbol indicating separate collection of such equipment
must be returned to a municipal waste collection point.
