OPERATION
Before first use
• Clean the percolator by following the steps in “How To Clean.”
Using the percolator
• To make coffee, remove lid, spreader, basket, and stem. Fill with cold water to
desired level as indicated by numbered servings on inside of percolator. Do not fill
beyond MAX or grounds can overflow into coffee.
• 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 PERCOLATE.
• 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.
• Push lid down, then turn to lock. The glass portion of the lid will not be hot during
operation. WARNING! Burn Hazard. Scalding may occur if the lid is removed
during the brewing cycle.
• Plug cord into the percolator then plug the cord into electrical outlet. The unit
automatically turns on.
• The Ready Light will glow when coffee is ready and percolator will automatically
go into a keep warm mode. Allow about 1 minute per cup for brewing time.

NOTE: We recommend using coffee that has been ground specifically for use in

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.
