Coffee Measuring Guide
• WASH BEFORE USING. Before using unit for the first time and after each use, wash coffee basket, percolating
tube and interior of the coffee urn with warm, water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Wipe exterior with a damp cloth.
NEVER IMMERSE BASE IN WATER.
• WASH BEFORE USING. Remove cover, coffee basket and percolating tube and fill coffee urn with fresh, cold water
to desired fill line. Do not fill coffee urn past top fill line. Never use hot water to make coffee.
• MEASURE COFFEE. Wet bottom coffee basket to prevent grounds from filtering into brewed coffee. Measure
appropriate amount of coffee (See chart on next page) into coffee basket and set coffee basket on percolating tube.
Position bottom of percolating tube into heating well, but DO NOT FORCE IT. Place cover on coffee urn
(a seperate plate isn't necessary since cover operates as water spreader)
These are recommended amounts only. Coffee strength can be adjusted to personal taste by adding or subtracting
from those quantities.
Allow approximately 1 1/2 minutes per cup brewing time. Voltage changes or variations in water temperature will affect
brewing time. NEVER MAKE LESS THAN THE MINIMUM CAPACITY OR MORE THAN THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY
OF YOUR COFFEE URN.
TWIST TO SECURE COVER
Before brewing, please place cover on coffee urn and turn to secure in handle slots. Note arrows on cover for correct
turning. To remove cover, reverse procedure and lift.
BEGIN BREWING
Plug cord into any AC outlet. Use 110-120V only. Signal light glows when coffee is ready to serve. After brewing, coffee
urn automatically switches to low heat and will keep coffee at proper serving temperature until unit is unplugged.
Coffee urn stops brewing automatically but will remain at serving temperature as long as coffee urn is connected to
outlet.
SERVE
Push lever down on the faucet and hold until cup is filled; release and it shuts off automatically. For continuous
pouring (to fill large carafe or server), pull forward to "lock" into place. To stop, push back and return lever to regular
serving position.
Helpful Hints
• Make at least 12 cups at one time to ensure best coffee flavor. Never make less than the minimum capacity or more
than the maximum capacity of your coffee urn.
• Use regular coffee grounds for all coffee urns for best results. Do not use drip or finely ground coffee as flooding of
the coffee basket can occur. If grinding your own coffee beans, grind to medium coarseness for best results. Do not
grind too fine (powder-like) as this can cause coffee basket to flood.
• Remove coffee basket and grounds as soon as the brewing cycle is completed. This also helps maintain coffee
flavor. Use coffee urn by rinsing it thoroughly with cold water. If dripping occurs between the faucet and the coffee
urn body, tighten the nut inside the coffee urn. If the dripping occurs from the faucet spout, tighten the faucet
bonnet.
