Preparation
It is recommended to clean the coffee urn before the first use. To clean and protect the urn, the manufacturer used food-grade cleaning oil on the product.
1. Fill the coffee urn to “MAX” level with the water, boil, discard the water, and rinse. Repeat the procedure several times to remove any dust, residues, etc., from the coffee urn.

Operation

1. Place Coffee Urn on a flat leveled surface.
2. Remove the locking lid by turning counterclockwise and removing the filter basket.
3. Fill Coffee Urn with water up to the “MAX” indicator inside.
4. Insert the filter basket and fill it with the desired amount of coffee.
Once filled with coffee, lock the lid by turning clockwise.
NOTE: When inserting the coffee filter, make sure that the percolator tube is inserted properly into the Urn otherwise it will not work properly.

Cups (5 oz Serving) Ground Coffee (8 oz Dry)
12-15 3/4 Cup
20-25 1-1/2 Cups
30-36 2 Cups
40-45 2-1/2 Cups
50-55 3-1/4 Cups
60-65 3-3/4 Cups
80-85 5-1/2 Cups
95-100 6-1/4 Cups

5. Plug the unit into a 120V or 220V power source (as noted on serial tag) and turn ON. The heating indicator light will turn on and the water will start to heat up, the water will sprout from the percolator tube and fall on the coffee grinds. This will continue until the unit automatically switches to its warming state.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to open the lid while the unit is operating to avoid the risk of burning due to the hot coffee.
6. Once the warming indicator light turns ON, the coffee can now be dispensed. Use the faucet to dispense the coffee.
7. When about 3 cups of coffee are remaining in the urn, turn the unit off and unplug it from the power source.
