This appliance is intended for household use only.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
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. If your coffee urn has a 3-prong plug, and an extension
cord is used, the extension cord must also be a grounded-type
3-wire cord. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be
equal to or greater than the rating of the coffee urn. 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 high
wattage appliance on the same circuit with your coffee urn.
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:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs. Care must be
taken, as burns can occur from touching hot parts or from
spilled, hot liquid.
3. To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons do
not place cord, plug or coffee urn in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by
or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when either the coffee urn is 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 customer service number for
information on examination, repair, or adjustment.
8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by
Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc. may result in fire, electrical
shock or personal injury.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot
surfaces, including stove.
11. Be certain cover is securely in place during brew cycle and
when serving coffee. Scalding may occur if cover is removed
during brew cycle.
12. Do not place coffee urn on or near a hot gas or electric burner or
in a heated oven.
13. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into wall
outlet. To disconnect coffee urn, remove plug from wall outlet,
then unplug from coffee urn.

Fill coffee urn with cold water to desired level as indicated
by numbered servings on inside of coffee urn.
2. Place stem into coffee basket then place large end of stem
into heating unit well. (Using the stem and basket will

How To Clean
1. After each use, unplug cord from outlet then remove cord
from coffee urn. Let cool before cleaning. WARNING! Burn
Hazard. Allow urn and coffee to cool before cleaning.
2. Remove cover, coffee basket and stem. Wash in hot soapy
water. Rinse and dry. These parts can also be placed in
dishwasher. WARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not
immerse cord, plug or urn in water or any other liquid.
3. Fill the coffee urn half full with hot water. Add a drop of
liquid dishwashing detergent and wash the inside of the
coffee urn. Use a scouring pad and clean the inside of the
heating unit well. This part must be properly cleaned to
maintain the proper operation of the coffee urn.
NOTE: We recommend using coffee that has been ground
specifically for use in a percolator-type coffee maker.
However, coffee marked “For All Coffee Makers” is acceptable.
If using a coffee grinder and whole beans, percolator coffee
should be a coarse grind. A finely ground coffee may cause
the coffee basket to overflow.
4. Drain the soapy water then fill the coffee urn with hot water
to rinse. Open serving spout and let hot water flow through
to clean the spout. Repeat with another hot water rinse
then dry.
5. Clean outside of coffee urn with a damp cloth. Do not use
abrasive scouring pads or cleansers.
To Remove Mineral Deposits
and Build-Up
If the coffee urn is used daily follow these instructions every
other week. Fill the coffee urn with 1 quart cold water and
1 quart white vinegar. Assemble with stem, coffee basket,
and cover.
Plug in and let go through the perk cycle. When perking has
stopped let sit another 15 minutes. Unplug and drain the
coffee urn. Let cool then clean according to “How To Clean.”
To Remove Discoloration
To lighten discolored metal inside the coffee urn, fill the urn to
the 42 cup level. Assemble with stem and coffee basket.
Place 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon cream of tartar into
basket (found in the spice section of supermarket). Place
cover onto coffee urn.
Plug in and let go through the perk cycle. When perking has
stopped let sit another 15 minutes. Unplug and drain the
coffee urn. Let cool then clean according to “How To Clean.”
