Helpful Tips; Cleaning & Maintenance - Homecraft HCPC10SS Instruction Manual

HELPFUL TIPS

• For best results, use medium ground coffee. Do not use drip or finely
ground coffee as flooding of the filter basket can occur.
• Use your percolator to make more than just coffee - try heating water
to make hot apple cider, hot chocolate, tea and more.
• Never plug in the percolator without water or liquid inside.
• DO NOT overfill or underfill the percolator with water. Liquid must always cover the
inside bottom of the percolator at all times during use. Falling below the minimum
level (4 cups) could cause overheating and damage to internal components.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
1. Unplug your percolator and allow it to cool. Drain any leftover coffee out of the urn.
2. Wash the lid, filter basket, perk tube and stem in warm, soapy water. Dry with a soft, non-
abrasive cloth.
NOTE: Filter basket may also be washed in the top rack of a dishwasher.
3. Clean the interior of the percolator by filling with warm water to about one-
third of its capacity. Add dish soap and wash with a non-abrasive spong or
cloth. Pay special cleaning attention to the center stem well cavity. The stem
well must be kept clean for the percolator to operate properly. Rinse the
interior with warm water, then dry with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
4. Wipe the exterior of the percolator with a soft, damp cloth
and dry with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
5. NEVER immerse the main unit in water.
6. After repeated use, accumulation of oil and coffee stains may cause a bitter taste. These
stains can be removed with a special urn cleanser. Make sure cleanser is safe to use with
this product. Follow the directions on urn cleanser packaging. Be sure to rinse well.
