 SAFETY 
GENERAL SAFETY
• This machine must only be operated by qualified person(s) who are fully versed
in the operating and safety instructions described in this manual.
• This machine contains no user-serviceable parts, other than those described
in the Cleaning, Care and aintenance section.
• The machine should be disconnected from all power and allowed to cool before
filling, handling and cleaning.
• Roband Australia, one of our agents, or a similarly qualified person(s) should
carry out any and all repairs. Any repair person(s) should be instructed to
read the Safety warnings within this manual before commencing work on
these units.
• Do not use for any applications outside the scope of these instructions
• Do not remove any cover panels that may be on the machine, unless being
repaired by authorized repairer. Sharp edges may exist inside the machine;
repairers should take care when servicing the machine.
• Care has been taken when designing these machines to limit external surface
temperatures. In normal operation at 25°C the surface temperature of the
lower body should not exceed 60°C, due to the double-skinned design. Note
that dangerously high temperatures will occur on the lid as the steam vapour
rises and also towards the top of the urn body – for this reason we have
placed additional warnings.
• When cleaning DO NOT immerse the percolator in water or use a water jet.
When cleaning always ensure the machine is off and disconnected from the
wall power point.
• Allow a 100mm spacing between the machine and any surrounding structure
or device. If the machine is near particularly heat-sensitive materials common
sense should be employed in determining sufficient distancing.
• Always ensure the power cable does not lie against other hot machines in the
kitchen, or is jammed or kinked hard up against other surfaces.
• Protect from rain if used outdoors, and do not place the urn in a salty
environment
• Conduct a Hazard Assessment for each individual site installation

 SAFETY 
PERCOLATOR SAFETY
• Particular care must be taken when dispensing hot or boiling water. Serious
burns could occur if used carelessly. Ensure the percolator is never left
unatten e aroun chil ren or the inept.
• Do not position the percolator with the tap protru ing over the e ge of a
table. Small children could reach up and grab the tap, causing horrific burns.
The tap will also be in danger of being knocked and/or damaged by passing
traffic/trolleys.
• Ensure that the cup used during dispensing is designed for hot liquid use.
• DO NOT carry the unit when filled with water to more than half the maximum
capacity to avoid injury or damage
• DO NOT carry the Urn before it has cooled down to avoid burns.
• DO NOT tilt the machine over too far whilst it contains water.
• DO NOT open the lid whilst in operation.
LIABILITY
Roban Australia will accept no liability if;
• Non-authorised personnel have tampered with the machine.
• The instructions in this manual have not been followed correctly.
• Non-original spare parts are used.
• The machine is not cleaned correctly, with the right product.
• There is any damage to the unit.

Page: 4
INSTALLATION
• Remove all the packaging materials and tape, as well as any protective
plastic from the machine. Clean off any glue residue left over from the
protective plastic or adhesive tape using methylated spirit.
• Place the Percolator on a solid, flat level surface with the tap facing the user.
It is highly recommended to position the Percolator with the tap away from the
edge of the table or bench in order that small children do not reach up and
accidentally burn themselves.
• Before connecting the Percolator to the power supply, ensure that the
“ON/OFF” switch is set to the “OFF” position
• Connect the Coffee Percolator to standard, single phase, 10 Amp power
point. We recommend that the electrical circuit supplying the power point be
protected by an approved RCD earth leakage device. Ensure no water has
splashed on the plug.
• Before using the percolator for the first time, it is recommended to clean the
percolator to remove any manufacturing or packaging residue – sea Cleaning
• National Standards exist outlining the positioning, spacing and ventilation
requirements when installing new appliances. These Standards should be
consulted and new equipment should be installed accordingly. We would
recommend that a well-ventilated air gap of not less than 100mm be
maintained. If the machine is near particularly heat-sensitive materials
common sense should be employed in determining sufficient clearance.
• Place additional signage and/or protection around the machine if a Hazard
Assessment for the installation requires.
• Do not attach any other items to this machine, or use contrary to what is
described in this manual.

OPERATION
This Robatherm Percolator is designed to brew coffee (or tea) using the process of
percolation. Once brewed the coffee (or tea) will be kept warm. The percolator
allows easy dispensing into a cup or small pot. Do not use the machine in a way
contrary to these instructions. The Percolator has automatic Boil Dry Protection.
BEFORE FIRST USE
• IMPORTANT: Read the Installation Instructions before first use. Position the
Percolator on a solid table, with the tap positioned away from the edge, to
minimise the risk of small children reaching up & accidentally dispensing hot
liquid over themselves.
• IMPORTANT: A non-toxic food grade cleaning oil is used to clean and protect
the machine during manufacture and transit. To avoid tasting the oil it is
recommended to remove any cleaning oil residue before first use using
following procedure:
o Hand clean the inside of the machine with soapy water and rag.
o Fill the percolator with water to the “ AX” level and turn on
o Drain and rinse with fresh water.
FILLING THE PERCOLATOR
NOTE: Read the Installation Instructions before proceeding. See the image in
Percolator Parts section for reference.
• Whilst filling the urn ensure power is off and the plug is disconnected from the
power point.
• IMPORTANT: Be careful not to accidentally operate the Percolator without
having water in the tank. See Boil Dry Protection if this occurs.
• Turn the lid of the percolator anti-clockwise to open and remove the coffee
basket and percolator tube (if required).
• Fill the tank with water in situ, using a jug or a carefully handled water
dispensing hose (if available). With the aid of the sight glass fill to desired cup
capacity ensuring it is between 30 Cups and 80 Cup (“ AX”). The percolator will
not brew properly if above or below these limits.
• IMPORTANT: The percolator is not designed to be carried or moved when full
of water as the weight could cause injury or strain, and the handles may be
damaged. The percolator should not be carried when more than ½ full, or if the
water is dangerously hot.
• Push the percolator tube into the filter basket hole (if required).
• Grip the tip of the percolator tube between thumb and index finger underneath
the safety dome to help installation into the machine

Page: 6
• Insert the joined basket & tube into the tank ensuring the flare at the base of
tube sits into the hole at the bottom of the tank. The top of the basket should sit
approximately 2-3 cm below the rim of the tank.
• Fill the coffee basket with decent ground coffee ensuring that the coffee is
spread evenly across. See Coffee Measurement Table for uantity of coffee.
OPERATION
• Ensure the mains power is now connected. Press the power switch to the “On”
position. Initially the Red “Percolating” pilot light illuminate.
• Eventually a cyclic gurgling noise will indicate that the process of percolation is
occurring. Steam will quirt hot water upwards through the percolation tube and
out over the coffee basket, draining thru the coffee back into the water below.
• NOTE: The Lid should not be opened during Percolation. As a safety measure
exclusive to Robatherm, a patented safety dome will protect any people from
being splashed with boiling water if the Lid is inadvertently opened during
operation.
• Eventually the water will reach approximately 88°C and the percolation will stop.
The “Ready” light will activate indicating the coffee is ready to serve.
• NOTE: The coffee will be kept warm whilst the “Ready” light is on. No manual
temperature control is required for this Robatherm Percolator.
• NOTE: The boiling point of water decreases at high altitudes. At altitudes higher
than 2500m this machine will percolate continuously and should not be used.
• Position a cup with appropriate heat resistance and insulation under the tap and
carefully press the lever to dispense coffee to the desired level.
• When the coffee gets so low that it is impossible to dispense from the tap the
percolator should be turned off for refilling or cleaning. See next sections.
• IMPORTANT: Do not leave the percolator operating unattended for long
periods. Regularly check the water level to ensure the urn does not boil dry.

REFILLING THE PERCOLATOR
If more coffee is required then the Urn needs to be emptied of old coffee before
refilling.
• IMPORTANT: For safety ensure the machine is unplugged before refilling.
• Open the lid carefully as it may be hot.
• Carefully pour about a litre of cold water over the basket and safety dome to
hasten cooling.
• Once cool, carefully hold the safety dome and lift out the coffee basket & tube.
• Dispose the old coffee granules into a bin and rinse the basket in the sink.
• Carefully tip the percolator over a sink to pour out the small quantity of coffee
residue still remaining in the tank. Rinse the tank if desired. Do not immerse the
percolator or pour water on the outside of the tank.
• Refill the percolator with coffee and water - See Filling the Percolator
BOIL DRY PROTECTION
If the Percolator is left operating for long periods it will boil dry. A boil dry thermostat
will temporarily turn off the elements to prevent overheating. The “Percolating” and
“Ready” Lights will turn off during boil dry protection. Once the unit has cooled
down the elements will heat up again and periodically re-enter boil dry protection
until the Percolator is switched off and allowed to cool.
• IMPORTANT: Do not intentionally boil dry as it will significantly shorten the life
of components, and can cause a failure of the machine.
• Never operate the machine unattended
• Should a boil dry occur, turn the Percolator off and unplug from the power point.
• Allow the percolator to cool down completely.
• Remove the lid and the coffee basket/tube.
• The percolator is now ready for refilling, or cleaning.
