DESCALING INSTRUCTIONS
Special cleaning of your Percolator is recommended at least twice a year, depending on
frequency of use and quality of water used in the unit. If water in your area is especially hard,
the following cleaning procedure should be performed more often, since minerals in water can
detract from the flavor of the coffee and possibly lengthen brew time.
The following cleaning procedure should be performed:
1. Fill the percolator with 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts cold water up to the
12-cup/8-cup/4-cup level.
2. Close the lid, press down to lock it.
3. Connect the power cord inlet into the socket of the percolator, then insert the plug into
appropriate outlet.
4. Switch On the Power switch.
5. When the blue indicator light turns on, turn off and unplug the unit.
6. Discard water.
7. Follow the same procedure as step 1 to 5 using clean water only and repeat three times or
until water is clean and fresh and no residual vinegar odor or flavor remains.
8. Unplug the Coffee Maker when not in use.
9. Dry parts thoroughly. Wipe the Percolator's exterior with a dry cloth.
STORING INSTRUCTIONS
