the following:
Coffee Urn Safety
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This product is provided
with a grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of
electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a
grounded outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using
an adapter. If the plug does not fit into the outlet,
have an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was
selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled
in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is
necessary, an approved extension cord may be used.
The electrical rating of the extension cord must be
equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance.
The extension cord must be a grounding-type, 3-wire
cord. 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
accidentally tripped over.

wWARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded outlet.
Do not remove ground.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
wWARNING
Burn Hazard
The metal urn parts will be hot. Use a pot
holder or oven mitt to remove the lid.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in burns.
BEFORE FIRST USE: Clean the urn by following
the steps in “Cleaning Instructions.”
1. To remove the lid, push down on the knob and
turn counterclockwise until the locking tabs
completely clear the handles on each side of
the removable tank; then lift up.
2. Take out the coffee basket and stem assembly.
3. Unlock removable tank from base by pulling out
and up on tank-locking clips. Remove the tank
from the base.
4. Fill with tap water to the level on coffee level
indictor for desired number of cups. You must
brew a minimum of 20 cups. Depending on your
model, the coffee urn will make up to 45, 65, or
110 cups. DO NOT OVERFILL THE COFFEE URN.
NOTE: For best results, always use cold, fresh
tap water.
5. Replace the tank onto the base. Lock tank on
base by pushing down on tank-locking clips.
6. Wet the basket. Add grounds to the basket. This
helps to keep small particles of coffee grinds from
sifting through.
*Always keep the water and coffee amounts between
the minimum and maximum for your urn size.
NOTE: We recommend using coffee that has been
ground specifically for use in a percolator-type
coffeemaker. However, coffee marked “For All
Coffeemakers” 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.

7. Place the stem assembly, spring side up, into the
tank. Place the basket on the stem. Make sure
the stem is properly seated in the heat well in the
center or the urn may not percolate.
8. Place the lid on the body of the urn so that the
locking tabs are at the front and back of the urn.
9. Holding the knob, turn the lid clockwise until
the locking tabs are fully engaged inside the
fold-down handles on both sides of the urn.
Make sure that the lid logo is facing forward.
10. Plug in the urn. Push the ON (I)/OFF (O) switch to
the ON (I) position. The red ON indicator light will
illuminate and coffee will begin brewing within
minutes. Do not plug in the urn when there
is no water or liquid inside.
11. When the brewing cycle is complete, percolation
stops and the green READY light illuminates to
indicate the coffee is ready to serve.
12. Press cup against the coffee dispensing bar.
13. The urn will automatically switch to the Keep
Warm cycle and will maintain fresh, hot coffee
until it is unplugged or switched to the ON (I)/
OFF (O) position. If brewed coffee is to be kept
warm for a long period of time, the basket and
stem 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! Burn Hazard: The knob and metal urn
parts will be hot. Use a pot holder or oven mitt to
remove the lid, basket, and stem.
14. After coffee has been dispensed, or when you
want to clean urn, push the ON (I)/OFF (O)switch
to the OFF (O) position. Disconnect plug from
wall outlet and allow the urn to cool before
washing.
NOTES:
• To make additional coffee, rinse the lid, coffee
basket, stem, and tank with cold water and repeat
steps 1 through 11.
• To reheat coffee, remove the basket and stem.
Lock the lid in place, plug in the unit, and turn on
for 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the amount of
coffee remaining. Do not reheat if less than 20
cups are left in the urn.

and the bottom spout opening. Rinse and allow
to dry. Reassemble all parts.
6. To clean the coffee level indicator, first remove the
coffee level tube. Unscrew the coffee level tube
cap and lift out the tube. Wash tube in warm,
soapy water with a long, narrow brush and rinse.
Next, wet the brush with warm, soapy water and
insert in the inner bottom coffee level tube
opening. Repeat two or three times. Replace the
coffee level tube and secure with the tube cap.
Fill tank with clean, hot water until coffee level
tube is filled and then drain.
7. To clean the pump tube, remove pump tube from
urn. Wash in warm, soapy water with a long,
narrow brush and rinse.
8. 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. A scouring
pad may be used to clean the heat well. DO NOT
use abrasive cleaners on any other part of the
coffee urn.
Cleaning Instructions
If the urn is used daily, follow these instructions
every other week.
1. Fill the urn with 1 quart cold water and 1 quart
white vinegar (if a white mineral buildup has
formed inside the unit, use an additional 2 cups
