or near children.

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. Coffee urn must be operated on a flat surface away from the

edge of counter to prevent accidental tipping.

7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or

after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any
manner. Call our toll-free number for information on examination,
repair, or adjustment.

8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the

appliance manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock, or
personal injury.

10. To disconnect coffee urn, remove plug from wall outlet.

11. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot

surfaces, including stove.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to
persons, including the following:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This product is provided with either a

polarized (one wide blade) or grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce
the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized
or 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 fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
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. If the appliance is of the
grounding type, the extension cord should 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.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high­wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

“How To Clean.”

NOTE: For best results, always use cold, fresh tap water.

Water Level*

5

Fill urn to desired water level. You
must brew a minimum of 10 cups.
Do not fill urn above fill line.

Wet

coffee basket

(to help keep
small particles of ground coffee
from sifting through).

Make sure stem assembly is
properly seated in heat well
in center or urn may not
percolate.

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. Finely
ground coffee may cause the basket
to overflow and result in grounds in
the coffee.

4

OPTIONAL: Place a flattened,
paper filter in coffee basket.

* Always keep water and coffee amounts between the minimum and

maximum for your urn size.

Remove lid, coffee basket, and
stem assembly.

and stem assembly. Lock lid in place
and plug in unit; then turn on for 20 to 60
minutes, depending on amount of coffee
remaining. Do not reheat if less than 20
cups are left in the urn.

TO HEAT WATER:

(for instant coffee, hot cocoa, or tea)

1. Remove lid, coffee basket, and stem
assembly. Fill urn with cold water to
desired level.

2. Place stem assembly and coffee basket
into heating unit well.
