CARE AND CLEANING
If the water in your local area is hard, lime scale will form over time. These deposits may affect the correct operation of the appliance.
The coffee urn should be descaled every 50 cycles To descale, use one of the commercially available scale removers for this type of appliance and fol- low the instructions on the package.
1.Wipe outside with a soft damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents.
2.Wash the inside of the coffee urn with warm water and a mild detergent. Do not immerse the base or the body of the urn in water: it is an electrical appliance.
3.The cover, filter basket, and pump tube may be washed in the dishwasher. Make sure the bot- tom of the pump tube is clean. If necessary, hold it under running water or use a toothpick to remove any coffee grounds.
4.Store the coffee urn with the cover off.
TIPS
1.Before making coffee the first time, operate the coffee urn without using ground coffee to remove any dust residues from inside the appliance.
2.To reheat the coffee, remove the pump tube and filter basket, replace the cover and plug the unit in. The coffee will be hot in 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the amount of coffee left. Do not reheat if less than 20 cups are left in the coffee urn.
3.The appliance
comes with a sliding tray for the drip tray or cup (fig. 4). This prevents coffee from dripping onto the floor or 4 countertop.
4.For the best
results use percolator grind coffee, as it is coarser and will not pass through the basket. After making coffee a number of times you will know the right amount of coffee to use. As a starting point, see Table 1.
