To Heat Water
Use heated water to make instant coffee, hot cocoa, or tea.
1. To heat water, remove cover, coffee basket and stem.
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
speed heating time.)
3. Place cover onto coffee urn and turn to lock. Plug in coffee
urn and let go through complete perk cycle. Water is hot
when the Ready light glows.
How To Clean
1. After each use, unplug cord from outlet then remove cord
from the coffee urn. Let cool before cleaning.
2. Remove cover, coffee basket and stem. Wash these in hot
soapy water. Rinse and dry. These parts can also be
placed in dishwasher. Do not put coffee urn in dishwasher.
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
