Using Your Percolator - Champion CHPK220 User Manual

Using your Percolator

1. Before using for the first time, thoroughly wash all parts of the percolator. Please see Cleaning
and Maintenance Instruction section.
2. Remove cover, basket, lid and pump tube with spring. Using the measurement markings (loca-
ted inside the body) fill the percolator with the desired amount of water. Please note 10 is the
maximum fill line.
3. For best result make sure to use cold water when filling the percolator. When preparing 4-Cups,
use the two-spot weld marking just below – 6 – as the 4-cup level mark.
4. To help keep small coffee grinds from sifting through the holes in the basket, 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. Be certain to use a grind designed for percolator coffee or use a
coarse grind. Finer grinds may sift through the holes in the basket.
5. Place basket and pump tube assembly into percolator so bottom of tube fits well. Place basket
cover on top of basket and push cover onto top of percolator.
6. Place percolator on power base and plug base into a standard household wall outlet. The green
power indicator light will illuminate. Brewing begins within seconds and continues at a rate of
approximately one cup per minute.
7. Once brewing cycle is complete, the red led indicator will light and signal that your coffee is
ready.
8. The percolator will keep warm for approx. 30 minutes, regardless if you lift the pot from the base
or not.
9. Once brewing has been completed, remove the cover carefully using a mitt or potholder, remove
the basket and pump tube. Replace cover so it snaps into place.
WARNING: Be certain the percolator process has stopped completely before removing the cover.
CAUTION: When placing the lid onto the percolator, be sure that the steam outlets are always
pointing away from the handle to avoid heat.
CAUTION: Do not touch the stainless-steel parts of the percolator as they will be hot.
