Semi-Weekly Cleaning Procedure
1.Be sure that the outer jacket is full of water.
2.Turn on the heat and fill the urn liner 3/4 full of water; use only urn cleaning compounds, following manufacturer’s directions; mix thoroughly and let stand about 30 minutes.
3.Clean the gauge glass, faucet pipe, plugs, etc. using long thin brush. Use urn cleaning solution for scrubbing. Take faucet valve apart and clean thoroughly. Clean all tubes well.
4.Scrub inside of urn and inside of cover with long handled brush. Be sure to clean the “lug nut” in the base of urn liner.
5.Rinse the inside of the urn three or four times with hot water - scrubbing each time. Also rinse parts well. Repeat until all traces of foreign odor and cleaning solution are removed.
6.Leave a gallon or more of fresh water in the urn with the cover partly open until the next use. If cold water is used, allow urn to cool to prevent cracking liner.
7.The urn baskets may be cleaned by immersing them in urn cleaner solution and scrub- bing with a stiff brush. Rinse thoroughly and let dry. Sprayheads should be checked to see that all holes are open. If any are clogged, remove sprayhead and use stiff wire to open.
8.Don’t use soap, scouring powders, or abrasives to clean coffee brewing equipment.
WARNING: Cleaner used can affect taste of coffee if not thoroughly flushed out as covered above.
