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, since 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 the
appliance manufacturer 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 lid is securely in place during brew cycle and when
serving coffee.
12. Scalding may occur if lid is removed during brew cycle.
13. Do not place coffee urn on or near a hot gas or electric burner
or in a heated oven.
14. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
remove the bottom cover. No user-serviceable parts are inside.
Repair should be done by authorized service personnel only.
15. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for commercial use.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use a high-wattage
appliance on the same circuit with your coffee urn.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug
(one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug
fits only one way into a polarized 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, 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. 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.
BEFORE FIRST USE: Clean the coffee urn by following the steps
in “How To Clean.”
1. To remove the lid, grasp the knob and turn counterclockwise
until the locking tabs completely clear the handles on each
side of the body, then lift up. Take out the basket, spreader,
and tube assembly. For best results, always fill with cold, fresh
tap water to the level indicator mark inside the body for the
number of cups* desired. Your coffee urn makes 20–60 cups of
coffee. Always make at least 20 cups.NOTE: The maximum capacity is 60 cups. DO NOT
OVERFILL THE COFFEE URN.
*1 cup = 5.3 ounces
4
Wet the basket (this helps to keep small particles of coffee
grinds from sifting through). Use a standard dry measure cup
and tablespoon to add regular- or percolator-grind coffee to the
basket. The chart on page 6 suggests the amount of coffee for
regular brew. The amount of coffee can be varied to suit your
taste; use less for weaker coffee or more for stronger coffee.
Make sure the spring is on the pump tube; then place the basket
3.
on the pump tube and cover with spreader. Then, holding
the top of the pump tube, lower it into the coffee urn until the
bottom of the pump tube is properly seated in the heat well in
the center (if not, the coffee urn may not percolate).
4. Place the lid on the body of the coffee urn so that the locking
tabs are at the front and back of the coffee urn.
5. Hold the knob and turn the lid clockwise until the locking tabs
are fully engaged inside the handles on both sides of the coffee
urn. Never plug in the coffee urn without the lid in place and
the locking tabs fully engaged inside the handles.
6. Plug the coffee urn into a grounded, 3-prong, 120 V AC wall
outlet. The red Power ON light will illuminate and coffee
brewing will begin within seconds. The urn will begin to
percolate within 8 minutes.
Do NOT plug in the coffee urn when there is no water or other
liquid inside.
7. When the brewing cycle is complete, percolation stops and the
green READY light illuminates to indicate the coffee is ready to
serve. The coffee urn automatically switches to the Keep Warm
cycle and will maintain fresh, hot coffee until it is unplugged.
If brewed coffee is to be kept warm for a long period of time,
the basket, spreader, and pump tube should be removed as
soon as brewing is complete. This will prevent bitter oils in
the coffee grounds from affecting the flavor of the coffee.
CAUTION! Burn Hazard. The knob and other parts of the urn
will be HOT. Use a pot holder or oven mitt to remove the lid.
8. Disconnect plug from wall outlet and allow the coffee urn to
cool before washing.
NOTES:
• The urn will begin to percolate within 8 minutes.
• To make additional coffee, rinse the coffee urn and parts with
cold water and repeat steps 1 through 7.
• To reheat coffee, remove the basket, spreader, and pump tube.
Lock the lid in place and plug in the unit for 20 to 60 minutes,
depending on the amount of coffee remaining. Do not reheat if
less than 20 cups are left in the coffee urn.
*1 cup = 5.3 ounces
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. A finely ground coffee may cause the coffee basket
to overflow and result in grounds in coffee.

w WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Do not immerse base, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.
1. After each use and before washing, unplug power cord from
wall outlet and allow the unit to cool.
2. Carefully remove lid and all internal parts. Parts, coffee
grounds, and remaining coffee may still be hot.
3. Wash the inside of the coffee urn and the parts with warm,
soapy water. Do NOT immerse the base of the coffee urn in
water. The pump tube (with spring), basket, spreader, and lid
can be washed in a dishwasher. When washing the pump tube,
make sure the washer on the bottom remains loose. If coffee
grounds are trapped in this area, hold the pump tube under
running water or use a wooden toothpick to remove them.
4. Wipe the outside of the coffee urn with a damp cloth and dry
with a towel. Store the coffee urn with the lid off.
5. After repeated use, there may be some coffee stains and
accumulation of oils that can cause a bitter taste. Periodically
use a coffee-stain remover or special cleanser and follow
package directions for cleaning. Rinse well after cleaning.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or pads on any part of the
coffee urn.
