• Plug the power base into the
wall socket.
• Gently position the percolator onto
the base. The indicator light may
cycle orange when brewing and
turn 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 coffee. While this water is
percolating through the coffee,
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 coffee is ready to
pour. The “green” power light will
stay on and the percolator will keep
your coffee 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.
• When filling or carrying the
percolator, do not tilt it backwards,
as this may allow water to pass
through the steam tube onto the
control area. Should this happen,
the percolator must be allowed to
dry before reuse.
• To avoid the risk of splashing, pour
slowly and do not over-tilt
the percolator.
• Put the required amount of ground
coffee in the coffee 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 the blend you use and your
own taste.
When filling the basket, put a
finger over the centre tube to
prevent coffee grounds from falling
through the tube.
• Lower the coffee basket onto the
percolator tube until the bottom
of the basket rests on the spring.
• Hold the percolator tube/coffee
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
coffee 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
centred. If the lid will not close
properly, rotating it should solve
the problem.
Brewing
• Check that there is sufficient
water in the percolator.
• Do not switch on unless the percolator
contains at least one cupful of water.
• Do not allow the mains lead to
hang over the edge of the worktop,
or anywhere it may accidentally be
caught or tripped over.
• Close supervision is necessary when
any appliance is used near children.
• Do not leave appliance unattended
when in use.
• This appliance is not intended for
use by young children or infirm
persons without supervision.
• This percolator is for household
use only.
• Unplug the power base from the
wall socket when not in use and
before moving and cleaning. Allow
the percolator to completely cool
down before cleaning and storing.
• Ensure that the lid is fully closed before
switching the percolator on.
• Ensure that the percolator is
correctly placed onto the power
base before switching on.
• Do not fill above the 10 cup mark
on the water level indicator. Remove
the percolator from its power base
before filling or pouring.
• Do not place the percolator, power
base, or mains lead on or near any
hot surface, hot hob or gas burners.
• Do not use the percolator for any
purpose other than heating water.
Please read these instructions before
using your percolator, keep them in
a safe place for future reference.
Carefully remove all packaging
before use but keep the packaging
until you are satisfied that the
percolator is working correctly.

When using any electrical appliances,
basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the
following:
• To be protected against electrical
hazards do not immerse the mains
lead, plug, power base, or percolator
in water or any other liquid.
• Do not use in a bathroom or outdoors.
• Use handles or knobs do not touch
hot surfaces.
• Do not open the lid when the
water is boiling.
• Take care when pouring –
pour slowly, and do not over-tilt
the percolator.
• Water will remain hot for a
considerable time after boiling
and can present a scald hazard.
• Keep the percolator, power base
and the mains lead away from
the edge of worktops and out the
reach of children.
• Replacement fuses are available
from Dualit and should be ASTA
approved to BS 1362.
3 HOW TO USE
• 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, &
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
• Remove the percolator from the
power base.
• Lift the lid from the percolator and
remove the stainless steel cover,
coffee 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.
• Use the percolator only with the
power base supplied and vice versa.
• Do not operate any appliance with
a damaged lead or plug, or after
the appliance malfunctions, or has
been damaged in any manner.
If the mains lead is damaged,
it must be replaced by a special
cordset available from Dualit
helpline: + 44 (0) 1293 652 500.
2 BEFORE USE
• Remove all packaging from the
percolator and its power base.
Before using the percolator for the
first time, or if it has been out of
use for a long time, fill with water
to the 10 cup mark and use without
coffee for one operation, then
discard the water and rinse the
percolator out with fresh cold water.
Connection To The Mains Supply
• Check that the voltage marked on
the appliance corresponds with the
supply voltage.
• NOTE: Any plug cut from power
supply cord should be disposed
of immediately. Inserting any cut
off plug into a 13A socket-outlet
is hazardous.
3
• Never use the plug without the fuse
cover fitted. Ensure replacement fuse
is the same current value as original.
