BREWING

• Once filled as in previous section

• Plug the power base into the socket

• Gently position the percolator onto the base. The indicator light will turn orange. While brewing the light will cycle On and Off and will turn solid green when ready

• The element will boil a small amount of water rapidly, forcing it up the percolator tube and into the lid knob, where it will be directed down onto the basket lid, and into the tea or coffee. While this water is percolating, the element will boil more water and force it up the percolator tube

• When all of the water has circulated in this way, the “orange” power light on the base of the percolator will change to “green” which tells you that your brew is ready to pour.

The “green” power light will stay on and the percolator will keep your drink hot while it is plugged into the electrical outlet

• Remove the percolator from the power base before attempting to pour. After use always remove from the power base and never leave it switched on unattended

• To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and do not over-tilt

WARNING: IF THE PERCOLATOR

HAS JUST BEEN USED THE

CONTENTS WILL BE HOT. TAKE

CARE AS T HE LID IS OPENED.

BOIL DRY

• Do not switch the percolator on unless it contains at least 4 cups of water. Misuse of this kind will shorten the life of the percolator

• If the percolator is accidentally switched on when it does not contain sufficient water, a boil-dry device will automatically switch it off

Wait until the percolator has cooled down before refilling. The lid may be hot and the water may spit as it touches the percolator base.

CARE AND CLEANING

• Unplug the power base from the power socket

• Pour away any remaining liquid and allow the percolator to fully cool

• Remove lid, basket, cover and tube

• Dispose of the used coffee or teabags

• Wash the lid, basket, cover and percolator tube in hot soapy water, rinse in clean cold water and dry thoroughly

• Rinse the inside of the percolator with clean cold water and dry thoroughly

• Wipe the power base and the outer casing of the percolator with a soft, damp cloth

• If necessary, you may use a little household detergent. Do not let the detergent get inside the percolator

• Assemble the percolator and store it

• Do not immerse the percolator or the power base in water

AFTER SALES SERVICE

If the percolator is not working correctly, check that:

• Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.

DESCALING

• You have followed the instructions

• The plug fuse has not blown

S cale build-up will cause the element to overheat, reducing its working life. It may also cause the safety cut-out to operate prematurely, switching the percolator off before the water boils.

To minimise scale build-up:

• Empty the percolator after each use

• Do not allow water to stand in the percolator overnight

• Use filtered water instead of tap water

• The main supply fuse/circuit breaker has not blown/tripped. If the powercord is damaged it must be replaced by a special cord set available from Dualit or an authorised Dualit service agent.

This part should only be refitted by a competent electrician.

HOW TO USE

POSITIONING

Position the power base as close to a wall socket as possible. Locate the mains cable so that it does not overhang the work surface, and cannot be caught accidentally. Shorten the mains lead by winding it around the cord storage area under the power base, and bring it out of the cord exit in the base.

OPENING THE LID

• Remove the percolator from the power base

• Hold the percolator handle firmly in one hand, hold the lid knob in the other, and remove carefully.

FILLING WITH COFFEE OR TEA

• Remove the percolator from the power base

• Lift the lid from the percolator and remove the stainless steel cover, basket and percolator tube

• Fill the percolator with the required amount of fresh cold water. The capacity, in cups, is marked on the inside wall of the percolator

• Do not attempt to use the percolator if the water level is below the 4 cups mark, and do not fill it above the highest cup mark

• If the percolator is overfilled, boiling water may be ejected, causing a scalding hazard

• For tea, place between 2 and 4 teabags into basket and fill the body with the number of cups you require

• We recommend the percolator is used for either tea or coffee. If you switch between the two clean all parts thoroughly

• For coffee, put the required amount of ground coffee in the basket. These markings correspond with the cup markings on the water level indicator

• The markings are given purely as a guide. You will need to experiment to find the quantities necessary to suit your tea or coffee you use and to your own taste

• When filling the basket, put a finger over the centre tube to prevent coffee grounds from falling through the tube. Use course ground coffee

• Once filled, hold basket over a plate or other surface and lightly tap the basket to release any loose grounds of coffee from the holes on the underside of the basket

• Lower the basket onto the percolator tube until the bottom of the basket rests on the spring

• Hold the percolator tube/basket assembly by the top of the percolator tube, and lower the whole assembly into the percolator, so that the bottom of the percolator tube fits on the element in the centre of the percolator

• Place the cover on top of the basket, lower the percolator lid on to the top of the percolator, and push firmly to close

• For the lid to close properly, the percolator tube must be centered. If the lid will not close properly, rotating it should solve the problem.
