This appliance is intended for commercial use.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use a high wattage
appliance on the same circuit with your coffee urn.
This appliance has a short cord to reduce the hazards of becoming
entangled or tripping over a longer cord. A grounded-type 3-wire
extension cord (3-prong plug) may be used if the electrical rating of
the extension cord is greater than the rating of the coffee urn.
Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or
injury to persons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs. Care must be
taken, as burns can occur from touching hot parts or from
spilled, hot liquid.
3. To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons do
not place cord, plug or coffee urn in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by
or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when either the coffee urn is not in use and
before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts
and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Coffee urn must be operated on a flat surface away from the
edge of counter to prevent accidental tipping.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or
after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in
any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for
information on examination, repair, or adjustment.

8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by
Hamilton Beach Commercial, Inc. may result in fire, electrical
shock or personal injury.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot
surfaces, including stove.
11. Be certain cover is securely in place during brew cycle and
when serving coffee.
12. Scalding may occur if cover is removed during brew cycle.
13. Do not place coffee urn on or near a hot gas or electric burner or
in a heated oven.
14. Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
remove the bottom cover. No user serviceable parts are inside.

2. Wet the basket (this helps to keep small particles of coffee
grinds from sifting through). Use a standard dry measure cup
and tablespoon to add regular or percolator grind coffee to the
basket. The chart on page 6 suggests the amount of coffee for
regular brew. The amount of coffee can be varied to suit your
taste; use less for weaker coffee or more for stronger coffee.
3. Making sure the spring is on the pump tube, place the basket
on the pump tube and cover with spreader. Then, holding the
top of the pump tube, lower it into the coffee urn until the
bottom of the pump tube is properly seated in the heat well
in the center (if not, the coffee urn may not percolate).
4. Place the cover on the body of the coffee urn so that the
locking tabs are at the front and back of the coffee urn.
5. Holding the knob, turn the cover clockwise until the locking
tabs are fully engaged inside the handles on both sides of the
coffee urn. Never plug in the coffee urn without the cover in
place and the locking tabs fully engaged inside the handles.
6. Plug the coffee urn into a grounded 3-prong 120 V AC wall
outlet. The red (ON) light will illuminate and coffee brewing
will begin within seconds.
Do NOT plug in the coffee urn when there is no water or
liquid inside.
7. When the brewing cycle is complete, percolation stops and
the green READY light illuminates to indicate the coffee is
ready to serve. The coffee urn automatically switches to the
Keep Warm cycle, and will maintain fresh, hot coffee until it
is unplugged. If brewed coffee is to be kept warm for a long
period of time, the basket, spreader, and pump tube should
be removed as soon as brewing is complete. This will prevent
bitter oils in the coffee grounds from affecting the flavor of
the coffee.
CAUTION: The knob and other parts of the coffee urn will be
HOT. Use a pot holder or oven mitt to remove the cover.
8. Disconnect plug from wall outlet and allow the coffee urn to
cool before washing.
Before First Use: Clean the coffee urn by following the steps in
“How To Clean.”
1. To remove the cover, grasp the knob and turn
counterclockwise until the locking tabs completely
clear the handles on each side of the body, then lift up.
Take out the basket, spreader, and tube assembly.
For best results, always fill with cold, fresh tap water to the
level indicator mark inside the body for the number of cups
desired. Your coffee urn makes 20–60 cups of coffee. Always
make at least 20 cups. NOTE: The maximum capacity is 60
cups. DO NOT OVERFILL THE COFFEE URN.

How To Clean
1. After each use and before washing, unplug power cord from
wall outlet and allow the unit to cool.
2. Carefully remove cover and all internal parts – parts, coffee
grounds, and remaining coffee which may still be hot.
3. Wash the inside of the coffee urn and the parts with warm,
soapy water. Do NOT immerse the base of the coffee urn in
water. The pump tube (with spring), basket, spreader, and
cover can be washed in a dishwasher. When washing the
pump tube, make sure the washer on the bottom remains
loose. If coffee grounds are trapped in this area, hold the
pump tube under running water or use a wooden toothpick
to remove them.
4. Wipe the outside of the coffee urn with a damp cloth and dry
with a towel. Store the coffee urn with the cover off.
5. After repeated use, there may be some coffee stains and
accumulation of oils that can cause a bitter taste. Periodically
use a coffee-stain remover or special cleanser and follow
package directions for cleaning. Rinse well after cleaning.
Do NOT use abrasive cleaners or pads on any part of the
coffee urn.
NOTE: We recommend using coffee that has been ground
specifically for use in a percolator-type coffee maker. However,
coffee marked “For All Coffee Makers” is acceptable. If using a
coffee grinder and whole beans, percolator coffee should be a
coarse grind. A finely ground coffee may cause the coffee basket
to overflow and result in grounds in coffee.

NOTES:

with cold water and repeat steps 1 through 7.
• To reheat coffee, remove the basket, spreader, and pump
tube. Lock the cover in place and plug in the unit for 20 to 60
minutes, depending on the amount of coffee remaining. Do
not reheat if less than 20 cups are left in the coffee urn.
