TO REMOVE MINERAL DEPOSITS AND BUILDUP:
Clean percolator after every 15 to 20 cycles to remove mineral
deposits and buildup, or more frequently in areas with hard water.
1. Fill the percolator with equal parts cold water and vinegar: six cups
each of cold water and white vinegar. Do not fill beyond 12-cup line.
2. Assemble percolator with stem assembly, coffee basket, coffee
basket lid, and twist-off lid.
3. Plug in and let unit go through the perk cycle. When perking has
stopped, let sit another 15 minutes.
4. Unplug and drain the percolator. Let cool; then clean by following
steps above in "Cleaning and Care."
NOTICE: To avoid damage to the
percolator, do not use abrasive
cleansers or pads, since these
may scratch the finish.
To Clean Heating Well: Fill the
percolator half-full with hot water.
Add a drop of liquid dishwashing
detergent and wash the inside of
the percolator. Use a sponge and
clean the inside of the heating unit
well. This part must be properly
cleaned to maintain the proper
operation of the percolator. Do
not immerse percolator in water.
