USING THE PERCOLATOR

1.Before using for the first time, thoroughly wash all parts of the percolator. (See the Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions section of this booklet.)

2.Remove cover, basket, lid and pump tube with spring. Using the measurement markings (located inside the body) fill the percolator with the desired amount of water. For best results be sure to use cold water when filling the percolator. When preparing 4 cups, use the small circular marking as the 4-cup level mark.

3.Run cold water over the coffee basket. Place basket on top of pump tube. Add desired amount of coffee according to level markings on basket. To help keep small coffee grounds from sifting through the holes in the basket, be certain to use a grind designed for percolator coffee, or use a coarse grind. Finer grinds may sift through the holes.

4.Place basket and pump tube assembly into percolator so bottom of tube fits into well. Place basket cover on top of basket and push cover onto top of percolator.

5.Plug base into standard household 120 volt AC wall outlet. Brewing begins within seconds, and continues at a rate of approximately one cup per minute.

The following chart serves as a guide for preparing various brew strengths. Amounts can be varied to suit personal taste and particular coffees.
