SHORT CORD PURPOSE
POLARIZED PLUG
If the plug still does not t, contact a
qualied electrician. Never use the plug
with an extension cord unless the plug
can be fully inserted into the extension
cord. Do not alter the plug of the

this plug is intended to t into a
polarized outlet only one way. If you

electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.
If an extension cord is used: (1) the
marked electrical rating of the extension
cord should be at least as great as the

extension cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the counter
top or tabletop where it can
unintentionally be pulled on or tripped
over by children or pets.

to reduce the risk of personal injury
resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a long cord.
Longer power-supply cords or
extension cords may be used if care

lock it back into place. Do NOT snap or push the knob back

Removal Of Mineral Deposits And Lime Scale:
Lime Scale forms over time when water is heated. Though scale
is natural and harmless, it may produce a powdery substance or
mineral-like chunks that can get into your hot beverages and affect
the taste.
Mineral deposits in tap water may cause the percolator interior to
discolor. To remove this build-up, use Liquid De-scaler, a simple to
use, non-toxic cleaner.
Alternatively:
1. Fill the percolator with 3 cups of white vinegar and the
remainder with water and be allowed to stand overnight. DO
NOT BOIL!
2. Empty the solution from the percolator, any stains
remaining inside the spout can be removed by rubbing with
a damp cloth. Fill the percolator with clean water, bring to
boil and then discard the water. Repeat and the percolator will
then be ready to use.
NOTE:
The washer at the
bottom of the pump
tube must be able to
move freely to ensure
error free operation. In
the event that coffee
grounds become
trapped near the
washer, loosen
the trapped coffee
grounds with a
toothpick, and then
run under water to
clean.
CAUTION:
Never immerse the
swivel base, its cables
or the plug into water
or wash in a
dishwasher.
Do not use scouring
agents or harsh clean-
ers on any part of the
percolator.
