Summary: 5 Stars
I own this percolator and i just don't have the problems mentioned here. please just read the manual.1. To make coffee, remove cover, spreader, basket and stem. Fill percolator to
desired cup level with cold fresh water.
2. Wet basket to keep coffee grounds from sifting through. 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 PERK.
3. Add desired amount of regular or percolator grind coffee to basket (refer to
chart), spreading evenly. Place spreader onto basket. Note: A finely ground
coffee may cause the coffee basket to overflow.
4. Place cover onto the percolator until it snaps close. Caution: Scalding may
occur if the cover is removed during the brewing cycle.
5. Plug the cord into the percolator then plug the cord into electrical outlet. The
unit will automatically turn on.

soapy water after each use and dry thoroughly. The heating unit well must be
properly cleaned after each use to maintain proper operation. DO NOT
