Using the Coffee Urn
1. Wash the Coffee Urn thoroughly before using for the first time.
(See “Care and Cleaning Instructions” section in this use and
care guide.)
2. Remove cover, pump tube, spreader, and basket. Check to
see that spigot is closed. Use cold, fresh tap water to fill
Coffee Urn. DO NOT OVERFILL OR UNDERFILL. Fill accord-
ing to markings on inside of Urn for number of cups desired.
Use cold tap water as the automatic brewing cycle is timed to
begin with a cold water start.
NOTE: Do not brew less than 20 cups of coffee.
3. Wet basket to help keep small particles of coffee from sifting
through. Add desired amount of regular or percolator grind
coffee to basket. (Do not use drip or finely ground coffee.)
The following chart suggests amount of coffee to use for medium
brew; amounts can be varied to suit personal taste and particular
coffees.
CUPS TO AMOUNT OF GROUND
BE BREWED COFFEE TO USE*
20 2 cups
30 2-1/2 cups
40 3 cups
45 3-1/4 cups
1 cup brewed coffee = 5 fluid ounces
*Use standard measuring cups
4. Place the basket on the pump tube and cover with spreader.
(Make sure the spring is on the pump tube.) Then, by holding
the top end of the pump tube, place it into the Coffee Urn.
Make sure the bottom of the pump tube is properly seated on
the perk well in the center.
5. Replace the Urn cover and secure in position by turning cover
clockwise until cover tabs fit into handle slots.
6. Plug into 3-slot grounded 120 volt AC wall outlet. The Power
ON light will come on. To avoid unnecessary strain on the
heating mechanism, PLUG IN COFFEE URN AFTER THE
WATER AND COFFEE ARE ADDED AND THE COVER IS
SECURELY IN PLACE. NEVER PLUG IN COFFEE URN
WITHOUT WATER INSIDE.
