Operation
BEGIN BREWING:
Plug cord into a 110 – 120 V AC grounded outlet.
Select the “ON” position to start brewing – a red light on the switch
should illuminate to indicate proper operation. Once the optimal
serving temperature is reached, the green “Keep Warm” light will
illuminate, and will stay lit until the coee inside the coee urn drops
below recommended serving temperature. As long as the unit is in
the “ON” position, the unit will automatically cycle to applying heat if
the coee falls below serving temperature.
TILT FAUCET LEVER TO DISPENSE.
Tips
DO NOT ALLOW THE UNIT TO RUN DRY. LIQUID MUST ALWAYS
COVER INSIDE BOTTOM OF UNIT TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE
UNIT. NEVER IMMERSE THE BASE IN WATER.
Never make less than the minimum capacity or more than the
maximum capacity of the coee urn.
Use regular electric perk grind coee or coee ground for all
coeemakers for best results. Do not use drip or nely ground coee
as it may cause ooding of the coee basket.
• Grind beans to medium coarseness for best results
• Do not grind to a ne, powder-like texture, since ooding of
coee basket may occur
PRIOR TO FIRST USE:
Remove all packaging from inside and outside of the coee urn. Fill
the urn with water, boil, and discard the water to clear the urn of any
packaging debris. Wash coee basket, percolator tube, and interior
with warm, soapy water. DO NOT IMMERSE THE BASE IN WATER.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
MEASURE WATER:
Remove the cover and basket. Fill coeemaker with fresh, cold water
to ll line. Do not ll past ll line as indicated by the “MAX” line. Do
not use hot water to make coee. Also, it is recommended to not use
soft water, as it may cause the coee basket to ood.
MEASURE COFFEE:
Using the chart below as a guide, measure the appropriate amount
of coee into the coee basket and set basket on percolating tube.
Position the bottom of percolating tube into the heating well, without
excessively forcing it into place. Place cover securely onto the urn.
Coffee Measuring Guide
These amounts are recommendations only – in order to adjust taste
or strength, the user can add or subtract accordingly.

Remove coee basket and grounds as soon as the brewing cycle is
completed. This maintains coee avor by preventing bitter, extracted
grounds from dripping into the coee or becoming lodged in the
device. Use the coee urn’s removable basket as a carrying tray when
disposing of wet coee grounds. Use caution when hot.

removed by scrubbing with a damp cloth or scouring pad and a
non-abrasive cleanser.
4. The percolating tube should be cleaned frequently with a long,
narrow brush to remove mineral deposits or residue, which may
impair the unit’s operation.
5. The heating wells should be scoured. Clean thoroughly with an
abrasive pad. Rinse thoroughly and dry. This cleaning will remove
mineral deposits that will cause the percolationg tube to get stuck
in the heating tube and break. It will also clean any burnt coee

Proper cleaning instructions must be followed;
otherwise, operation of the unit may be seriously
impaired. Do not wash parts in an automatic

De-Scaling
1. Scale buildup may aect the urn, tap, and faucet. Supermarket
descaling agents can be used, or natural alternatives such as
lemon-based agents are also eective (instructions as follows).
2. Slice a lemon into four slices, wrap them in a cloth, and place into
the urn.
3. Pour water up to the “MAX” level.
4. Boil the water and allow the lemons to sit inside the unit for one
hour.
5. Pour out the water and lemons, and use a nylon brush to scrub the
inside of the urn.
