NOTE: We recommend using coffee that has been ground  
specifically for use in a percolator-type coffee maker.  
Although, coffee marked “For All Coffee Makers” is accept-  
able. 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.  
How to Clean (cont.)  
3. Rinse all parts thoroughly and dry.  
Store with cover off.  
Stem  
NOTE: Make sure the washer at bot-  
tom 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.  
To Heat Water  
Use heated water to make instant coffee, hot cocoa, or tea.  
1. To heat water, remove cover, 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 bas-  
ket will speed heating time.) Place spreader on basket.  
3. Place lid on percolator until it snaps closed. Plug in  
percolator and let go through complete perk cycle. Water  
is hot when Ready light glows.  
Washer  
4. Fill the percolator half-full with hot  
water. Add a drop of liquid dishwash-  
ing 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 opera-  
tion 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.  
How to Clean  
To Remove Mineral Deposits and  
Build-Up  
1. After each use, unplug cord from outlet then remove cord  
from the percolator. Let cool before cleaning.  
If the percolator is used daily follow these instructions every  
other week. Fill the percolator with 6 cups cold water and  
6 cups white vinegar. Assemble with stem, basket, spreader,  
and lid.  
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.  
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.”
