Dualit 84038 Guarantee And Instructions

• Do not allow water to stand in the

percolator overnight.

• Use filtered water instead of ordinary

tap water.

• Descale the percolator regularly

using a proprietary brand of
descaler suitable for use in plastic
bodied products (even in metal
percolator there are plastic parts).
In areas of very hard water
descaling may be necessary as
often as once a month.

• When descaling, follow the

instructions on the package
of descaler. When descaling
has finished, empty the percolator
and rinse it out several times with
fresh water, then fill with fresh water,
boil and discard the water, This
should ensure that no chemical
residues are left in the percolator.

Guarantee

After Sales Service

• Wash the lid, coffee basket,

cover and percolator tube in hot
soapy water, rinse in clean cold
water, and dry thoroughly.

• Rinse the inside of the percolator

with clean cold water and dry
thoroughly.

• Wipe the power base and the outer

casing of the percolator with a soft,
damp cloth.

• If necessary, you may use a little

household detergent. Do not let the
detergent get inside the percolator.

• Assemble the percolator and store

it away.

• Do not immerse the percolator or

the power base in water.

• Do not use harsh or abrasive

cleaners or solvents.

Descaling

Scale build-up will cause the element
to overheat, reducing its working life.
It may also cause the safety cut-out to
operate prematurely, switching the
percolator off before the water boils.

To minimise scale build-up:

• Empty the percolator after each use.

WARNING: IF THE PERCOLATOR
HAS JUST BEEN USED THE
CONTENTS WILL BE HOT. TAKE
CARE AS THE LID IS OPENED.

Boil Dry

• Do not switch the percolator on

unless it contains at least one cup
of water. Misuse of this kind will
shorten the life of the percolator.

• If the percolator is accidentally

switched on when it does not
contain sufficient water, a boil-dry
device will automatically switch it
off. Wait until the percolator has
cooled down before refilling.
The lid may be hot and the water
may spit as it touches the
percolator base.

4 CLEANING THE

PERCOLATOR

• Unplug the power base from the

power socket.

• Pour away any remaining liquid

and allow the percolator to cool
down fully.

• Remove the lid, coffee basket,

cover and percolator tube.

• Dispose of the used

coffee grounds.

CE Compliant to
89/336/EEC (EMC directive) and
73/23 & 93/68/ EEC (LV directive)

• Plug the power base into the

wall socket.

• Gently position the percolator onto

the base. The indicator light may
cycle orange when brewing and
turn green when ready.

• The element will boil a small amount

of water rapidly, forcing it up the
percolator tube and into the lid
knob, where it will be directed
down onto the basket lid, and into
the coffee. While this water is
percolating through the coffee,
the element will boil more water
and force it up the percolator tube.

• When all of the water has circulated

in this way, the “orange” power
light on the base of the percolator
will change to “green” which tells
you that your coffee is ready to
pour. The “green” power light will
stay on and the percolator will keep
your coffee hot while it is plugged
into the electrical outlet.

• Remove the percolator from the

power base before attempting to
pour. After use always remove from
the power base and never leave it
switched on unattended.

• When filling or carrying the

percolator, do not tilt it backwards,
as this may allow water to pass
through the steam tube onto the
control area. Should this happen,
the percolator must be allowed to
dry before reuse.

• To avoid the risk of splashing, pour

slowly and do not over-tilt
the percolator.

• Put the required amount of ground

coffee in the coffee basket.
These markings correspond with
the cup markings on the water
level indicator.

The markings are given purely as a
guide. You will need to experiment
to find the quantities necessary to
suit the blend you use and your
own taste.

When filling the basket, put a
finger over the centre tube to
prevent coffee grounds from falling
through the tube.

• Lower the coffee basket onto the

percolator tube until the bottom
of the basket rests on the spring.

• Hold the percolator tube/coffee

basket assembly by the top of the
percolator tube, and lower the
whole assembly into the percolator,
so that the bottom of the
percolator tube fits on the element
in the centre of the percolator.

• Place the cover on top of the

coffee basket, lower the
percolator lid on to the top
of the percolator, and push
firmly to close.

• For the lid to close properly,

the percolator tube must be
centred. If the lid will not close
properly, rotating it should solve
the problem.

Brewing

• Check that there is sufficient

water in the percolator.

• Do not switch on unless the percolator

contains at least one cupful of water.

• Do not allow the mains lead to

hang over the edge of the worktop,
or anywhere it may accidentally be
caught or tripped over.

• Close supervision is necessary when

any appliance is used near children.

• Do not leave appliance unattended

when in use.

• This appliance is not intended for

use by young children or infirm
persons without supervision.

• This percolator is for household

use only.

• Unplug the power base from the

wall socket when not in use and
before moving and cleaning. Allow
the percolator to completely cool
down before cleaning and storing.

• Ensure that the lid is fully closed before

switching the percolator on.

• Ensure that the percolator is

correctly placed onto the power
base before switching on.

• Do not fill above the 10 cup mark

on the water level indicator. Remove
the percolator from its power base
before filling or pouring.

• Do not place the percolator, power

base, or mains lead on or near any
hot surface, hot hob or gas burners.

• Do not use the percolator for any

purpose other than heating water.

Please read these instructions before
using your percolator, keep them in
a safe place for future reference.
Carefully remove all packaging
before use but keep the packaging
until you are satisfied that the
percolator is working correctly.

When using any electrical appliances,
basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the
following:

• To be protected against electrical

hazards do not immerse the mains
lead, plug, power base, or percolator
in water or any other liquid.

• Do not use in a bathroom or outdoors.

• Use handles or knobs do not touch

hot surfaces.

• Do not open the lid when the

water is boiling.

• Take care when pouring –

pour slowly, and do not over-tilt
the percolator.

• Water will remain hot for a

considerable time after boiling
and can present a scald hazard.

• Keep the percolator, power base

and the mains lead away from
the edge of worktops and out the
reach of children.

• Replacement fuses are available

from Dualit and should be ASTA
approved to BS 1362.

3 HOW TO USE

• Position the power base as close to

a wall socket as possible. Locate
the mains cable so that it does not
overhang the work surface, &
cannot be caught accidentally.
Shorten the mains lead by winding
it around the cord storage area
under the power base, and bring it
out of the cord exit in the base.

Opening The Lid

• Remove the percolator from the

power base.

• Hold the percolator handle firmly

in one hand, hold the lid knob in
the other, and remove carefully.

Filling

• Remove the percolator from the

power base.

• Lift the lid from the percolator and

remove the stainless steel cover,
coffee basket and percolator tube.

• Fill the percolator with the required

amount of fresh cold water.
The capacity, in cups, is marked
on the inside wall of the percolator.

• Do not attempt to use the

percolator if the water level is
below the 4 cups mark, and do not
fill it above the highest cup mark.

If the percolator is overfilled,
boiling water may be ejected,
causing a scalding hazard.

• Use the percolator only with the

power base supplied and vice versa.

• Do not operate any appliance with

a damaged lead or plug, or after
the appliance malfunctions, or has
been damaged in any manner.
If the mains lead is damaged,
it must be replaced by a special
cordset available from Dualit
helpline: + 44 (0) 1293 652 500.

2 BEFORE USE

• Remove all packaging from the

percolator and its power base.
Before using the percolator for the
first time, or if it has been out of
use for a long time, fill with water
to the 10 cup mark and use without
coffee for one operation, then
discard the water and rinse the
percolator out with fresh cold water.

Connection To The Mains Supply

• Check that the voltage marked on

the appliance corresponds with the
supply voltage.

• NOTE: Any plug cut from power

supply cord should be disposed
of immediately. Inserting any cut
off plug into a 13A socket-outlet
is hazardous.

3

• Never use the plug without the fuse

cover fitted. Ensure replacement fuse
is the same current value as original.
