Once brewing cycle is complete, indicator light will illuminate to signal your coffee is ready. Warning: Be certain the percolating process has stopped completely before removing cover. Once brewing has been completed, remove the cover carefully and using a mitt or potholder, remove the basket and pump tube. Caution: do not touch the stainless steel parts of the percolator, as they will be hot. You are now ready to enjoy a flavorful cup of coffee. Remove plug from percolator for easy serving. Add desired amount of coffee according to level markings on basket. To help keep small coffee grounds from sifting through the holes in the basket, be certain to use a grind designed for percolator coffee, or use a coarse grind. Finer grinds may sift through the holes. Place basket and pump tube assembly into percolator so bottom of tube fits into well. Place basket cover on top of basket and push cover onto top of percolator. Plug base into standard household 120 volt AC wall outlet. Brewing begins within seconds, and continues at a rate of approximately one cup per minute. 5 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Always remove the plug from the electrical outlet before attempting to clean the percolator.
