IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and/or personal injury.
1) Read all instructions.
2) Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3) Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
4) To protect against fire, electric shock and/or personal injury, do not place cord,
plugs, or appliance in water or any other liquid.
5) Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
6) Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance
to an authorized DeLonghi service center for examination, repair or adjustment.
7) The use of accessory attachments is not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer. It may result in fire, electric shock and/or personal injury.
8) To disconnect, remove plug from wall outlet. Always hold the plug, but never
pull the cord.
9) Use extreme caution in moving the coffee urn when it contains hot liquids.
10) Do not use outdoors.
11) Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
12) Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated or micro waveoven.
13 Never use warm or hot water to fill the water reservoir. Use only cold water.
14) Make sure the cover is securely in place before brewing and when serving
coffee. Scalding may occur if the cover is removed during the brewing cycle.
15) When removing or replacing the cover, be sure it is seated properly on the body,
and grasp the knob carefully.
16) Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
17) This appliance is rated for both Commercial and Household use.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from entanglement or
tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power supply cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer detachable power cord
or extension cord is used (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) the
longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or table
top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. The
electrical rating of the appliance is listed on the bottom of the unit. If the appliance is
of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounded type 3 wire cord.
This appliance has a polarized plug. One blade is wider than the other. As a safety
feature this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE
Carefully unpack your coffee urn and remove all packaging material. Remove the
hanging label from the coffee urn. The Freshness Indicator label, located on the
base cover of the unit, may safely remain on the coffee urn if so desired. To
remove any dust that may have accumulated during packaging, wash the coffee urn
thoroughly inside and out before using for the first time. (See “Cleaning Your Coffee
Urn” section in this manual).
NOTE: We recommend that prior to percolating your first pot of coffee, you “perc”
cold water only, without ground coffee. This will remove any dust that may have
settled inside the coffee maker.
IMPORTANT: Use cold water only. The automatic percolating system works best
with cold water.
