OPERATION
Before first use
Remove packaging materials, labels and stickers from the coffee urn.
Clean the coffee urn thoroughly before using for the first time (
Cleaning).
NOTE: To clear the coffee urn of any residue, fill to the maximum level mark on the side
of the tank (6) with fresh water. Run a full brewing cycle. Repeat this procedure at least
once.
Using the coffee urn
Intended use: the coffee urn is intended for brewing coffee and for keeping coffee warm
over an extended period of time.
Pour desired amount of water into the water tank (6)
(ill.
a
).
NOTE: For the best results, always use cold, fresh tap water.
The water level can be monitored using the embossed water level markings on the
side of the tank (6). DO NOT OVERFILL THE COFFEE URN
.
Insert percolator tube (5) in heat well (14)
(ill.
b
).
Attach coffee basket (4) to
percolator tube
(5)
(ill.
b
).
Do not use the urn without having inserted both tube
and basket!
According to the chart below, measure out desired amount coffee grounds in
relationship to water in tank (6). Amounts can be adjusted according to taste:
Water level Amount of ground coffee
40 cups (10l) 2 - 2½ cups
30 cups
(7.5l) 1¾ - 2 cups
20 cups
(5l) 1 - 1¾ cups
10 cups
(2.5l) ½ cup
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. Finely ground coffee may cause the basket to overflow and result in
grounds in coffee. Placing a flattened paper coffee filter in the coffee basket
(4) will
help prevent grounds from flowing into coffee.
