OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Wash the Percolator thoroughly before using for the first time.
(See “CARE AND CLEANING” section in this manual.)

2. Remove Lid, Basket, Spreader and Pump Tube. Use cold, fresh tap
water to fill Percolator. Fill according to markings on inside of
Percolator for number of cups desired. Use cold tap water — the
automatic brewing cycle is timed to begin with a cold water start.

NOTE: The bottom of the Pump Tube Spring marks the

maximum capacity of the Percolator.

3. Wet Coffee Basket to help keep small particles of coffee from sifting
through. Place Basket on Pump Tube. Add desired amount of
regular or percolator grind coffee to Basket.

The following chart suggests amount of coffee for different brew
strengths; amounts can be varied to suit personal taste and
particular coffees.

qualified appliance repair technician.

CARE AND CLEANING

1. After Each Use: Always make sure plug is first removed from

remove under running water or with a wooden pick.

After Repeated Use: Remove accumulation of oil and coffee

stains that may cause a bitter taste with commercially available
coffee maker cleaners. Follow package directions, filling with water
to 1-1/2 inches from top. Be sure to rinse well.
