Frequently Asked Questions - 84036 DUALIT

How does the indicator light work on the Dualit 84036?

The indicator light turns orange when the percolator is heating and cycles on and off during brewing. It turns solid green when the brew is ready.

What is the minimum amount of water required?

The percolator requires at least 4 cups of water. Do not switch it on with less to avoid damaging the boil-dry protection.

Can I use the Dualit 84036 for tea as well as coffee?

Yes, you can use it for tea. Place 2 to 4 teabags in the basket. It is recommended to use the percolator for either tea or coffee; clean all parts thoroughly if switching between the two.

How should I clean the percolator?

Unplug and let it cool. Remove lid, basket, cover, and tube. Wash these in hot soapy water, rinse, and dry. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the percolator or power base in water.

How often should I descale the percolator?

Descaling frequency depends on water hardness. In hard water areas, descale once a month using a proprietary descaler suitable for plastic-bodied products. After descaling, rinse thoroughly with fresh water.

What should I do if the percolator does not work?

Check that you have followed the instructions, the plug fuse is intact, and the main supply fuse/circuit breaker hasn't tripped. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord set from Dualit.

Can I immerse the percolator in water for cleaning?

No, do not immerse the percolator or the power base in water or any liquid. Only the removable parts (lid, basket, cover, tube) can be washed by hand.

How do I store the cord of the Dualit 84036?

The cord can be shortened by winding it around the cord storage area under the power base, bringing it out through the cord exit.

What is the warranty period for the Dualit 84036?

The percolator is guaranteed for one year from the date of purchase against defects. It does not cover misuse, neglect, or modification. A receipt is required.

How do I use the percolator for coffee?

Fill the percolator with fresh cold water according to the cup markings. Place coarsely ground coffee in the basket. Assemble the tube, basket, and cover, then close the lid. Plug in, and the percolator will automatically switch to green when ready.

USER MANUAL 84036 DUALIT

• Once filled as in previous section
• Plug the power base into the socket
• Gently position the percolator onto the base. The indicator light will turn orange. While brewing the light will cycle On and Off and will turn solid 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 tea or coffee. While this water is percolating, 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 brew is ready to pour. The "green" power light will stay on and the percolator will keep your drink 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
  • To avoid the risk of splashing, pour slowly and do not over-tilt

WARNING: IF THE PERCOLATOR HAS JUST BEEN USED THE CONTENTS WILL BE HOT. TAKE CARE AS THE LID IS OPENED.

BOIL DRY

• Do not switch the percolator on unless it contains at least 4 cups of water. Mouse of this kind will shorten the life of the percolator
• If the percolator is accidentally switched on when it does not contain sufficient water, a boil-dry device will automatically switch it off
  Wait until the percolator has cooled down before refilling. The lid may be hot and the water may spit as it touches the percolator base.

4 CARE AND CLEANING

• Unplug the power base from the power socket
• Pour away any remaining liquid and allow the percolator to fully cool
• Remove lid, basket, cover and tube
  • Dispose of the used coffee or teabags
• Wash the lid, basket, cover and percolator tube in hot soapy water, rinse in clean cold water and dry thoroughly
• Rinse the inside of the percolator with clean cold water and dry thoroughly
• Wipe the power base and the outer casing of the percolator with a solt, clamp cloth

• If necessary, you may use a little household detergent. Do not let the detergent get inside the percolator
  • Assemble the percolator and store it

• Do not immerse the percolator or the power base in water

• Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.

DESCALING

Scale build-up will cause the element to overheat, reducing its working life. It may also cause the safety cut-out to operate prematurely, switching the percolator off before the water boils. To minimise scale build-up:

• Empty the percolator after each use
- Do not allow water to stand in the percolator overnight
- Use filtered water instead of tap water
- Descale the percolator regularly using a proprietary brand of descaler suitable for use in plastic bodied products (even in metal percolator there are plastic parts). In areas of very hard water descaling may be necessary as often as once a month
- When descaling, follow the instructions on the package of descaler. When descaling has finished, empty the percolator and rinse it out several times with fresh water, then fill with fresh water, boil and discard the water. This should ensure that no chemical residues are left in the percolator.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 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.

CONNECTING TO THE MAINS SUPPLY

• Check that the voltage marked on the appliance corresponds with the supply voltage
• NOTE: any plug cut from the power supply cord should be disposed of immediately. Inserting any cut off plug into a 13A socket-outlet is hazardous
• Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted. Ensure replacement fuse is the same current value as the original. Replacement fuses are available from Dualit and should be ASTA approved to BS 1362.

3 HOW TO USE

POSITIONING

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, and 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

FILLING WITH COFFEE OR TEA

- if the percolator is overfilled, boiling water may be ejected, causing a scalding hazard

• 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.
• Remove the percolator from the power base
• Lift the lid from the percolator and remove the stainless steel cover, 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
• For tea, place between 2 and 4 leabags into basket and fill the body with the number of cups you require

• We recommend the percolator is used for either tea or coffee. If you switch between the two clean all parts thoroughly

• For coffee, put the required amount of ground coffee in the 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 your tea or coffee you use and to your own taste

• When lilling the basket, put a finger over the centre tube to prevent coffee grounds from falling through the tube. Use course ground coffee
• Once filled, hold basket over a plate or other surface and lightly tap the basket to release any loose grounds of coffee from the holes on the underside of the basket
• Lower the basket onto the percolator tube until the bottom of the basket rests on the spring
• Hold the percolator tube/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 fills on the element in the centre of the percolator
• Place the cover on top of the 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 centered. If the lid will not close properly, rotating it should solve the problem.
