NOTE: We recommend using coffee that has been ground specifically for use in a percolator-typecoffee 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.

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.

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 coffee urn. Let cool then clean according to “How To Clean.”
