Use regular electric perk grind coffee or coffee ground for all coffee makers for best results.
-
Do not use drip or finely ground coffee as it may cause the coffee basket to flood.
a. When grinding beans, grind to medium coarseness for best results.
b. Do not grind beans into a fine, powder-like texture, since this may cause the coffee basket to flood. -
Remove coffee basket and grounds as soon as brewing is completed. This will also help maintain coffee flavor.
-
The urn’s lid can be used as a carrying tray when disposing of wet coffee grounds.
-
Before brewing a second time, allow urn to cool and rinse it out.

Boil Dry Protection
Boil dry accidents are the result of boiling all the water out of an urn.
These kinds of accidents shorten component and product life in all water
boiling appliances.
To prevent boil dry accidents, this appliance is equipped with a thermal
limiter with an auto reset limit on. If the water in the tank is below certain
low level, the appliance will turn itself off automatically. It takes urn up
to 8 minutes back to work after the temperature cools down.
To decrease the chance of boil dry accident, operators are advised to turn the
appliance off when not in use, especially overnight. Otherwise, the auto reset
limit will keep urn run from being heating to being off back and forth,
therefore damaging the heating system.
Cleaning and Maintenance
- Unplug the unit and pour out any remaining water or coffee. Allow the unit to cool.
- After the urn has cooled, add hot water, brush the interior sides, and rinse with hot water until water exiting the faucet runs clear.
- Clean the filter unit and the lid with a non-abrasive detergent. Dry both components with a soft, dry cloth. The Noble Chemical Klearly Koffee Cleaner (#147KKOFFEE QT) is recommended.
- The stainless steel as well as the tube inside can be cleaned with detergent and a scouring pad.
- The urn’s tap must also be cleaned to ensure proper cleaning. If necessary, use a de-scaling agent on the tap.
- Clean the urn’s faucet with a bottle brush. Then wash the tap with warm, soapy water and rinse.
- Use a soft cloth to wipe the urn body dry. Do NOT use benzene, thinners, or harsh abrasives for cleaning, as these will damage the exterior finish of the urn.
- Always clean the coffee urn immediately after each use.
De-Scaling
-
Scale buildup can affect the urn, tap, and faucet.
-
Supermarket de-scaling agents work well, along with a variety of other techniques. We recommend
Urnex (#15-DLQ12-1) 1 Liter Dezcal Coffee Equipment Liquid Scale Remover as a de-sclaing agent. -
For a more natural approach, follow these steps.
a. Slice a lemon into four pieces, wrap them in a cloth, and place them in the urn.
b. Pour in water up to the “MAX” water level indicator.
c. Boil the water and allow the lemons to sit inside the unit for about 1 hour.
d. Pour out the water and lemons, and use a nylon brush to scrub the inside of the urn.
e. To completely remove the smell or aftertaste, refill the urn, boil the water again and dispose of the water.
This product cannot be thrown away with other domestic waste. It requires an authorized electronic recycling center to properly dispose of it. By recycling this product, you help save natural resources. Make sure this product is disposed of in a natural manner.
Thermal Fuse
This coffee urn is fitted with a thermal fuse for added safety. If this
appliance’s boil dry protection measures fail, its thermal fuse will activate
and shut off the appliance.
The thermal fuse is a one-time-use component. Once it activates, the fuse
automatically breaks and cannot be used again.
