Prior to First Use
1. Remove all packaging from inside and outside of the coffee urn.
2. Bring water to a boil, then discard. This clears the urn of any packaging residue.
Helpful Hints
1. Do not use soft water. Soft water may cause the coffee basket to flood.
2. Use regular electric perk grind coffee or coffee ground for all coffee makers for best results.
3. 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.
4. Remove coffee basket and grounds as soon as brewing is completed. This also helps maintain
coffee flavor.
5. The urn’s lid can be used as a carrying tray when disposing of wet coffee grounds.
6. Before brewing a second time, allow urn to cool and rinse it out.
How to Use
1. Place on a flat, level surface.
2. Turn the lid counter-clockwise to open.
3. Pour in water. Make sure the water is above the "MIN" indicator and below the "MAX" indicator.
4. Place lid on top of urn and turk clockwise to lock into place.
5. Plug in the urn.
a. To brew coffee, place the percolator tube and filter basket in the tank and pour the desired
amount of coffee grounds into the basket.
b. Make sure that the percolator tube is fitted properly inside the coffee urn before operation.
6. The percolator filter and basket are not required for boiling water.
7. Switch ON.
a. The "HEATING" light will turn on to indicate the boiling process has begun.
8. Tilt faucet lever to dispense.

Boil Dry Protection & Manual Reset Button
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 a manual reset
button (see below picture). If the water in the tank is completely boiled away, the appliance will
turn itself off (though the pilot light will remain on).
To decrease the chance of boil dry accidents, operators are advised to turn the appliance
off when not in use, especially overnight.
This appliance must be unplugged before it can be reset.
After unplugging, allow the appliance to cool down. Open the plastic bottom of the coffee urn
and locate the reset switch in the control section. Press this button, place the plastic bottom back
on the urn, plug in the appliance and switch the urn on.
If the pilot light is on, the unit has recovered to normal working condition. If the light is still off,
unplug the appliance and repeat the process. Repeat this operation until the urn returns to
normal working condition.
The manual reset is intended to protect the user and the coffee urn. In case of repeat incidents,
the metal layering in the urn may damage due to boiling dry, which may also damage the thermal
limiter and heating element beyond repair.

Cleaning and Maintenance
1. Unplug the unit and pour out any remaining water or coffee. Allow the unit to cool.
2. After the urn has cooled, add hot water, brush the interior sides, and rinse with hot water until
water exiting the faucet runs clear.
3. Clean the filter unit and the lid with a non-abrasive detergent. Dry both components with a soft,
dry cloth.
4. The stainless steel inside and tube can be cleaned with detergent and a scouring pad.
5. The urn’s tap must also be cleaned to ensure proper cleaning. If necessary, use a de-scaling
agent on the tap.
6. Clean the urn’s faucet with a bottle brush. Then wash the tap with warm, soapy water and rinse.
7. 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.
8. Always clean the coffee urn immediately after each use.
De-Scaling
1. Scale buildup can affect the urn, tap, and faucet.
2. Supermarket de-scaling agents work well, along with a variety of other techniques.
3. 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 dis-
pose of the water.

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.
