SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not properly fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a competent qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

• The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least

that of the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension cord is too low, it could overheat and burn.

• The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will

not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

MAKING PERFECT TEA AND COFFEE

Always use fresh water.

Tea

• You can use all kinds of loose tea or tea bags (but do not leave the labels and strings inside the percolator).

• As a guide to the strength we would recommend the following quantity of tea when filled to the Max. water level.

Coffee

• You will get the best coffee flavour by using coarse ground coffee. Alternatively your coffee supplier can grind the beans to a coarse grind suitable for percolators. If percolator coffee is unavailable "filter machine" or "medium ground" coffee may be used but some coffee may pass through the filter. We do not recommend the use of Espresso coffee since it is even thinner.
