Can this percolator be submersed in water for cleaning?

You can NOT emerge it into water, You can Carefully rinse the insight out with water. It is an electronically appliance, water and electronics do not mix!!!

No, No, No! You can rinse it out. I suggest cleaning it once a month with a product called "Dip It". You can purchase this on Amazon or you may be able to find it in your local grocery store.

You cannot submerse the pot. I wash it by filling with soapy water, swishing the inside and carefully pouring out the water without getting the electric socket wet. Just tilt the put so you do not get water on the socket. I have had this type of pot for many years, it is fine. I use Dip-it powder occasionally to clean it well.

Sorry, but no. I have no problem with washing it under the faucet and rinsing it under the faucet too.

Haven't tried, but I imagine it may be difficult to clean as the grounds could potentially get embedded into the mesh filter. The filter itself does look fine enough to strain coffee grounds though.

No. You cannot get the bottom (underneath) wet and it would be difficult to clean. Heat water ONLY.

Yes. I think if you clean the coffee out as soon as you are done and wash it out well with hot water, you could use it to serve water. The spout where the coffee pumps out is connected to the straw down in the canister and is easy to rinse/wash out. Other than the canister itself, there are no other parts that would have to be washed to remove coffee residue.

I think you can, I use it all the time but I fill it full and just use it for one cup or several. I would not recommend leaving the water for weeks at a time. if you use one cup daily. How ever the water does boil at a high tempeture and kills all bacteria. It was well worth the purchase.

There is a metal filter available which can be cleansed and reused. I don't recommend it - it allows small bits of grind to pass through into your cup.

I don't know why not.....although I am not a tea expert. This is a percolator and I think that tea is "steeped"....but it just seems that you could put the tea in the coffee grounds container and let the water boil and drain through it....?

It is not submersible, the cord does not come off, and the base does not come off. Wash it with a soapy wet cloth, rinse and your good to go.

Although I've owned Farberware percolators for years, I have never returned one for repair or ordered replacement parts. I am sorry I could not help you more.

Yes, just soap and water. Let hot water run freely through the lid and it will be clean.

Water can get inside the bubble underneath. Just dry it with the tip of a paper towel after cleaning. Better to do these by hand.

I just use SOS inside and on parts once a week, rinse thoroughly. or you can buy a coffee soak product that you put in add water and perk. the newer pot though cleans easy with SOS. Mine still shines and we use it daily

Yes you can. You will need to buy filters the reusable filter did not come with mine. Do not make a full pot of coffee or the grounds will run over as well. Lynn M N

No, never, but depending on your water, you may experience mineral build up on the flat metal heating element inside of the carafe. I just wipe it out with a microfiber cloth and it wipes right off, or you could try a white sponge too. Great product! I use it every day!

The probe is submersible up to where the wire meets the metal probe. If that part gets water the probe will die. So be careful, even when cleaning

You can remove the kettle for easier cleaning but it cannot be submerged in water

Hi, I found this to be the BEST cleaner for my percolators. It is in powder form, and I was able to purchase this in local grocery stores. However, since the drip pots have become so popular, I could only find this in liquid form. IT DID NOT CLEAN MY PERCOLATOR. The powder DIP IT is SO GOOD, I ordered a large supply, so, hopefully, I will never run out of it. I highly recommend this. Need more info? Feel free to contact me again.
