Petromax per-14-le Perkomax Percolator
User Manual for the Petromax Perkomax Percolator
Thank you for choosing the Petromax Percolator. The Petromax Tea and Coffee Percolator allows you to brew your preferred coffee or favourite tea while preserving their natural flavour. We are convinced that you will be delighted with your Petromax Percolator and we hope that every beverage will be a special pleasure.
Important instructions
Before using the Perkomax for the first time, read the following information carefully. Follow the safety instructions and keep this user manual for future reference.
First use and cleaning
After each use and before the first use, wash the Percolator and all its parts thoroughly with water with a mild detergent. Dry thoroughly inside and outside with a clean and dry cloth.
Percolation process and preparation
The Petromax percolators operate according to the percolator principle: Water
is heated. The resulting pressure presses the water upwards through the tube
where it passes through the sieve and drips onto the coffee powder. Below it
once again mixes with the remainder of the water. The more often this process
is repeated the more intensive the taste of the coffee becomes. We recommend a
brewing time of 12-15 minutes. The percolator can be used for camping, outdoor
and garden activities but also on the stove at home.
Only use coarsely ground coffee or coarse, loose tea to ensure the efficiency
of the percolation process. Please note the minimum and maximum filling level
of your Percolator.
| Percolator | Minimum filling level | Maximum filling level |
|---|---|---|
| Perkomax per-9-s | per-9-w | 0.7 L |
| Perkomax le14 | 1 L | 1.8 L |
| Perkomax le28 | 2 L | 3 L |
Usage instructions
-
Add the desired amount of drinking water. Please note the minimum and maximum filling level. At too low filling level the water will not boil, at too high filling level it will boil over.
Caution! The water must not come into contact with the basket. -
Fill the basket with the desired amount of coarsely ground coffee or tea. Close the lid. The nose of the lid should be on the same side as the handle (Percolator black & white.)
