CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Always remove the plug from the electrical outlet
before attempting to clean the percolator.
The percolator cover, basket, lid, and pump tube
(with spring) can all be placed in the upper rack
of a dishwasher or washed in warm soapy water
and rinsed thoroughly.
Never wash percolator body or power cord
in dishwasher.
Never immerse the percolator body in water or
other liquids. To clean, simply wipe with a clean,
damp cloth and dry before storing.
Do not use scouring agents or harsh cleaners on
any part of the percolator.
NOTE: Washer at bottom of pump tube must
move freely. Should coffee grounds become
trapped near the washer, loosen with a
toothpick, then run under tap water to clean.
Storage: Percolator should be stored with
cover off.
Maintenance: Any other servicing should
be performed by an authorized service
representative.
DECALCIFICATION
Decalcication refers to removing the calcium
deposits that form on the metal parts of the
percolator over time.
For best performance from your percolator,
decalcify the unit from time to time. The
frequency depends upon the hardness of your
tap water and how often you use the percolator.
Decalcication will clean the interior of the unit.
To decalcify, ll percolator with 2 cups of
vinegar, then add water to the 12-cup level.
Combined mixture should not exceed 12 cups.
Be sure that all parts are in place, and make sure
that the lid is securely on. Plug the power cord
connector into the cord insert and plug the unit
into an electrical outlet. Let the unit run through
its normal cycle. Once complete, discard the
vinegar and water mixture.
Run one cycle of fresh, cold water (without
vinegar) through the unit at the completion of
decalcication before using the unit to brew
coffee.
