1. For perfect coffee every time, always fill your coffee maker with fresh COLD water. Fill to desired level, see fill level indicator inside the body. Make at least 2 cups at a time to assure best flavor.

2. Place either regular or percolator grind coffee in the basket.

When adding coffee to basket, place a finger over the stem to prevent grounds from falling through.

Note: The coffee maker’s rapid percolating action may cause sediment to collect on the bottom of the pot. The sediment can be reduced by using a percolator coffee filter (available from most grocers) in the perk basket.

4. Place the cover firmly on the coffee maker.

5. Connect the cord to the coffee maker then to a standard AC wall outlet. Never plug coffee maker in without water or liquid coffee in it.

A short cord set has been provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer cord sets or an extension cord may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If a longer cord set or an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
