TO MAKE COFFEE

Before First Use: Clean the percolator by following the steps in “How To Clean.”

1.To make coffee, twist lid to unlocked position to remove, then remove the spreader, basket, and stem. Fill with cold water to desired level as indicated by numbered servings on inside of percolator or water window.

2.Wet basket interior to keep small coffee grounds from sifting through basket. Place basket on stem. Hold top of stem and place stem and basket into heating unit well.

IF THE STEM IS NOT SEATED PROPERLY IN THE HEATING WELL, THE PERCOLATOR WILL NOT PERK.

3.Measure percolator-type ground coffee into basket. Avoid getting coffee grounds

in the stem. Refer to the Coffee Making Chart that follows. Spread coffee evenly in basket. Place spreader on basket.

4.Place lid onto percolator and twist to the locked position.

5.Plug cord into the percolator then plug the cord into electrical outlet. The unit automatically turns on.

6.The percolator will stop automatically when the coffee has finished brewing, and the Ready light will glow. Allow about one minute per cup for brewing time.

7.The percolator will remain at serving temperature until it is unplugged.

8.When finished serving coffee, unplug the percolator from the electrical outlet. Then remove cord from the percolator.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of burns from escaping steam, do not remove the Twist-Off Lid until the Ready Light glows.

NOTE: We recommend using coffee that has been ground specifically for use in a percolator-typecoffee maker, although, coffee marked “For All Coffee Makers” is acceptable. 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.
