OPERATION
•
The	coffee	urn	will	automatically	switch	to	the	Keep Warm	cycle,	and	will	maintain	
fresh,	hot	coffee	until	it	is	unplugged.	If	brewed	coffee	is	to	be	kept	warm	for	a	long	
period	of	time,	percolator	tube	
(5) and coffee basket (4) should be removed after
brewing	is	complete.	This	will	prevent	bitter	oils	in	the	coffee	grounds	from	affecting	
the	flavor	of	the	coffee.	Temporarily	disconnect	the	power	plug	
(13) from the wall
outlet, and wait 5 minutes before carefully lifting up the lid
(2). Remove percolator
tube	 and	 coffee	 basket,	 using	 oven	 mitts.	 Then	 reattach	 the	 lid	 and	 reconnect	
power	plug	with	the	wall	outlet.
•
After coffee has been dispensed, disconnect the power plug
(13) from the wall outlet
then remove from the coffee urn and allow the urn to cool before cleaning (ill. j ).
NOTE: To	reheat	coffee,	remove	coffee	basket	(4) and	percolator	tube	(5).	Lock	the	lid	in	
place	and	plug	in	the	unit	and	turn	on	for	20	to	60	minutes,	depending	on	the	amount	of	
coffee	remaining.	Do	not	reheat	if	less	than	20	cups	are	left	in	the	urn.
To heat water
Use the coffee urn to heat water for making tea, instant soups, hot cocoa, etc.
NOTE: Percolator	tube	(2) and	coffee	basket	(4)	are	not	required	for	heating	water.
•	
Pour desired amount of cold, fresh tap water into the water tank
(6) (ill. a ). The
water	level	can	be	monitored	using	the	embossed	water	level	markings	on	the	side	
of	the	tank.	Fill	in	a	minimum	of	20	cups.	DO	NOT	OVERFILL	THE	COFFEE	URN.
•
Place the lid
(5) on the coffee urn and turn until it locks in place (ill. d ).
•
Connect the power cable
(13) with the power socket (12) (ill. e ). Insert power plug
(13)	into	a	standard	120	V	AC	wall	outlet.	The	unit	will	automatically	begin	boiling	
the	water.	The	water	is	hot	when	the	ready	indicator	
(11) changes colour to green
(ill. f ).
