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.
