BEFORE BREWING FOR THE FIRST TIME
- Wash and rinse the coffee percolator with
hot water before using it for the first time.
Also rinse the coffee container where the
ground coffee is to be placed, the pipe and
the lid.
- You can also fill the coffee percolator with
water up to the max. line. Leave the various
parts in place and boil until the light comes
on. Then pour out the water.
USE
- Fill the coffee percolator with the desired
amount of cold water, do not fill higher that
the marking "6" (for the 0,9 l model) or "12"
(for the 1,3 l model).
- When the water reached over the top of
water level indicator it flow over and might
come into the handle. Do not overfill when
cleaning.
- You will get the best result by brewing at
least 4 cups.
- Place the pipe in the percolator.
- Place the desired amount of fine or coarse-
ground coffee in the coffee container. Make
sure that no coffee gets into the pipe.
- Put the lid on the coffee container.
- Put the lid on the percolator.

original stand.
NB: DO NOT WASH THE COFFEE POT IN A
DISHWASHER
For the best water throughflow: Clean the small
coffee container regularly with washing up brush
or wash it in a dishwasher!
NB: If fine-ground coffee is used, some coffee
grounds may end up in the bottom of the
percolator. Let the coffee stand for a minute of
so once brewed and any grounds will sink to
the bottom.
WARMING UP COFFEE
If coffee is to be warmed up again the pipe and
the coffee container must be removed from the

To keep your percolator operating efficiently,
you must regularly clean out mineral
deposits left by the water; they can build up
and clog your percolator.
- Pour 1 quart of acetic acid into the pot.
Then, add 3-quart cold water to the acetic
acid.
- Let the solution stay in the percolator for 10
minutes, then rinse the percolator by filling
the pot with cold water.
- Pour water into water tank and turn the
percolator on. Repeat this procedure 3
times.
- How often you need to descale your
percolator depends on the hardness in the
water.
