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.

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.
