FARBERWARE AUTOMATIC STAINLESS STEEL PERCOLATORS FCP 240 - Manual (Page 4)

USING YOUR PERCOLATOR
1. Wash the Percolator thoroughly before using for the first time.
(See “Cleaning Instructions” section in this manual.)
2. Remove Cover, Basket, Spreader and Pump Tube. Use cold, fresh
tap water to fill Percolator. Fill according to markings on inside
of Percolator for number of cups desired. Use cold tap water —
the automatic brewing cycle is timed to begin with a cold
water start.
NOTE: The bottom of the Pump Tube Spring marks the maximum
capacity of the Percolator.
3. Wet Coffee Basket to help keep small particles of coffee from sift-
ing through. Place Basket on Pump Tube. Add desired amount of
regular or percolator grind coffee to Basket.
The following chart suggests amount of coffee for different brew
strengths; amounts can be varied to suit personal taste and particu-
lar coffees.
